"There Is No Plan B!" is the theme of the summer issue of the Transatlantic Edition of "Internationale Politik". In its featured interview, EU High Representative for foreign policy Javier Solana says he doesn't fear the French constitutional referendum, but he is concerned.
The risk, Solana says, is that often in referenda people vote not on the merits of the specific issue--in this case a constitutional draft that was largely written by Frenchmen--but on their momentary mood and disgruntlement about other things. It would show "tremendous irresponsibility," he adds, to destroy "this beautiful house" that reconciled World War II foes and went on to become "an example for the world" of multilateralism.
In other EU affairs, Foreign Minister Mihai-Razvan Ungureanu describes how Romania as a candidate for membership hopes to balance its loyalties to the EU and the US-and also puts in a plea for a more focused Western policy on the Black Sea.
Economist Adam Posen makes a case for why Germany should take over the role the US has abdicated as the benign hegemon that pays to keep globalization prospering. Claus Leggewie dissects the uses of antisemitism and anti-antisemitism, of anti-Americanism and anti-anti-Americanism.
Outside Europe, Christoph Reuter finds out how the continuing insurgency and political uncertainty threaten one Baghdad barber. And Rainer Tetzlaff explains the background to today's genocide in Darfur.
Finally, two American analysts point out the ways in which religion still unites Americans, despite all the hot disputes about abortion and gay marriage--and the multiple paradoxes of the American and the European religious scenes. And Canadian Muslim Irshad Manji calls for surmounting militant jihad with the "creative reasoning" of a more reflective ijihad.
