Why a reform of Parliament reservation? In addition, based on a suggestion of a Commission that has little to do with the Bundestag? Since the so-called Adriatic judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court in 1994 the respective federal government has yet ultimately be able to realize all of their projects for Bundeswehr mission. Not always in the crowd, as they would have it, the public opinion let them sometimes hesitate. The Iraq and Libya use NATO in defiance of the United Nations are examples of this, even though the West German NATO cartel from the media, various Transatlantic and other pro-war on the other hand went to the barricades.

The former coordinator of foreign policies of the Federal Chancellery, Germany, developed foreign policies for the two biggest German parties (an excerpt from the contract dated 11.11.2005 Anspruch undWirklichkeit deutscher Aussenpolitik = Requirements and Reality of German Foreign Politics included in the article).

In foreign policy terms, summer brings a renewed call from the administration for a permanent seat for Germany on the UN Security Council. Chances for success however seem slim despite the loud calls of Chancellor Gerhard Schroder, as it is difficult to reconcile these calls with the apparent desire to ignore specific decisions such as that of Iraq. Additionally, it is unclear how the realization of such an aim is in the German interest, & why other global regulatory institutions are not considered. Schroder is unlike Chancellor Kohl, who was well suited to play an international & global role & consistently worked toward defusing international crises rather than focusing on rhetoric. German foreign & security policy will have to be left to a future German administration, as Schroder & his foreign minister Fischer were & are "New Market" oriented. L. Kehl

Dieser geostrategische Schlüsseltext ist ein absolutes Muss für jeden, der die aktuellen politischen und militärischen Geschehnisse rund um die Welt verstehen will. Wer das Herzland beherrscht, beherrscht die Welt. So lautet die Kernaussage der Heartland-Theorie, die Sir Halford Mackinder vor über 100 Jahren der britischen Königlichen Geografischen Gesellschaft vortrug und veröffentlichte. Man muss sich wundern, dass heutzutage kaum jemand von dieser Theorie weiß, ist sie doch auf das Hervorragendste geeignet, die aktuellen weltpolitischen Ereignisse zu erklären. Willy Wimmer, über lange Jahre Staatssekretär im Bundesverteidigungsministerium, stellt dem historischen Text von Sir Mackinder einen kongenialen und äußerst detail- und kenntnisreichen Lagebericht voran, der die aktuelle Bedeutung dieser Theorie mehr als veranschaulicht. Dem Leser werden schlagartig Zusammenhänge klar, die er vormals nicht für möglich gehalten hätte.
