- (Re-)Building Coalitions
- The Role and Potential of Member States in Shaping the Future of the EU
- Reforming the EU is hardly possible without coalitions of “builders” – member states willing and able to engage in sustainable coalition building at EU level. Since 2008, the EU and its members have found themselves in the middle of yet another formative phase. Will member states eventually succeed in shaping a Union able to guarantee the prosperity, security and freedom of its citizens?

- Britain Outside Europe?
- What would a “Brexit” mean, for the EU and the rest of the world?
- The possibility of Britain withdrawing from the European Union – a “Brexit” – has been receiving growing attention. What would it mean for the rest of the European Union, its individual members, wider Europe, and other states around the world such as the United States and Japan. The series, first published on IP JOURNAL, is now available as a DGAP publication.

- What would a “Brexit” mean for the EU and other States around the World? European and Global Perspectives
- The possibility of Britain withdrawing from the European Union – a “Brexit” – has been receiving growing attention. Reports have largely focused on what this withdrawal could mean for the United Kingdom; however, there has been little analysis of what it could mean for the rest of the European Union, its individual members, wider Europe, and other states around the world such as the United States and Japan.

- The German debate on the EU before the European Elections: Plus Ça Change?
- Is “debating Europe” finally gathering speed in Germany? Germany has been allocated 96 seats in the European Parliament: with what kind of topics are the country’s political parties trying to win them? With Martin Schulz being the frontrunner of the Party of European Socialists, what impact will their campaign have on the coalition government in Berlin?

- Dear Brits, Please Be Upfront!
- What Merkel should tell London
- On Thursday German Chancellor Angela Merkel will be in London, meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron and Queen Elizabeth II. She will also address the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Expectations are running high: Germany is supposed to pave the way for a renegotiated British EU membership. How should Merkel respond? Here are some suggestions.

- Who Owns the EU Reform Debate?
- Countries outside of the euro zone are naturally asking themselves what the imminent deepening of this zone will mean for European Union membership in the future. At the same time, the question overarches the debate about EU reform. In these overlapping discussions, not every suggestion that comes unbidden is necessarily counterproductive. Quite the contrary.

- Britain outside the EU?
- The German view
- British citizens want to vote on whether or not to remain part of a bare-bones EU in 2017, but a British withdrawal from the Union is hardly in Berlin’s interest. The ongoing debate in Great Britain comes at an inconvenient time for Germany. Just as the German government is tying to hold the euro zone together, it must persuade the UK to stay part of the broader EU. To keep the gap from getting too wide, EU debates need to be better linked to each other.

- Britain Outside Europe? The German View
- Berlin wants to cooperate with London, but isn't eager to make concessions
- Berlin would rather not have a British in/out question added to its already packed EU agenda. While David Cameron’s speech in January 2013 did resonate with some in the German political arena, the attitude so far has been one of “let’s cross that bridge when we come to it.”
- Category: Bilateral Relations, Germany, United Kingdom
- Britain Outside Europe? Introduction
- Views on the future of the UK and EU, from Europe and beyond
- We have debated what a withdrawal or renegotiated relationship with Europe would mean for Britain. But what would a Brexit or new relationship mean for the rest of the EU, other member states, allies, and the global standing of both Europe and the United Kingdom? Analysts from other EU member states and beyond give us their perspectives on the implications of a change in Britain's relationship with the Union.

- More Restraint, Please!
- Why it is risky for Great Britain to make use of Germany in its domestic debate on EU powers and areas of competence
- Many Britons are skeptical of Europe, and anti-European MPs are putting pressure on the British administration. Prime Minister Cameron has therefore promised citizens that he will hold a referendum on Great Britain’s membership in the EU and that he'll renegotiate treaties with the EU and launch an EU-wide debate on reform. But London should be wary of using Germany’s take on the distribution of powers for its own domestic ends. Here in Germany, competence debates follow a logic of their own.
