Energy: Germans Want Nuclear Plants Phased Out

0 On Apr. 24, some 125,000 people came together to build a 120 km - long human chain around the two nuclear power plants of Brunsbuettel and Kruemel, near the city of Humberg. 0 The demonstration was both to commemorate the 24th anniversary of the tragic accident that destroyed the nuclear power plant of Chernobyl, Belarus, on Apr. 26, 1986, and oppose the German government s plans to prolong the lifespan of 17 nuclear reactors currently in operation.

German Economy Expands at Fastest Pace in Two Decades

0 Gross domestic product jumped 3.6 percent, the most since data for a reunified Germany began in 1992, after slumping 4.7 percent in 2009 0 Unemployment dropped by 262,000 people in 2010, boosting household spending in the second half of last year. Business sentiment rose to a record high last month and consumer confidence is close to its highest in more than three years.

The German Social Market Economy and Its Transformations

0 The German Social Market Economy is one of the most famous

political and economic strategies of this century. 0 The Social Market Economy showed great adaptability in overcoming crises. The first crisis, as shown above increased the states intervention. The next crises led to a reduction of the state and the social elements. 0 Mller-Armack to balance the market and the social elements has been shifted over the years to the market. 0 It would be possible to reduce the social elements and the state activities and still call it Social Market Economy or if this would be something completely different. But if the Social Market Economy can only be saved and changed by reducing the social elements and finally abolishing them and in that way changing the basic idea, it can not be a model for other countries and its future and further transformations must be regarded with scepticism.

Domestic Economy of Germany

0 The German economy is full of contradictions. It is modern but

old-fashioned. It is immensely powerful but suffers from serious structural weaknesses. It is subject to national laws and rules but is so closely tied into the European Union that it is no longer truly independent.

0 The German economy as it is known today is an outgrowth of

the 1990 merger between the dominant economy of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG, or West Germany) and that of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, or East Germany). This merger will one day produce a massive economic entity that will constitute the fulcrum of Europe as a production center, as well as a transportation and communications center. But each partner brings different elements to the mix, and the merger has proved difficult and costly.

International Economic Of Germany

0 The Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), or West Germany, as it was also called until its unification in 1990 with the German Democratic Republic (GDR, or East Germany), has played an increasingly important role in the world economy. Consistently among the most important trading nations in the world, Germany often derives a higher share of its gross domestic product (GDP) from exports than any other major state. The Federal Republic plays an even more important role in international financial matters. Its currency, the deutsche mark, is the second most important currency in the world after the United States dollar. 0 Germany does not act alone in international economic matters. Instead, it usually acts through Europe. West Germany was a founding member of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and of the follow-on European Community (EC), known since late 1993 as the European Union (EU). Germany increasingly makes its international policies in conjunction and consultation with other EU members. More than half of its trade is with other EU states, and the deutsche mark is the anchor of the European Monetary System (EMS) and of its planned follow-on, the European Monetary Union (EMU).

Issues about migration In Germany

0 Germany is a Globalized country 0 Problems of integration: Merkel s declaration 0 Death of multiculturalism

What do you think about multiculturalism in India & In France ?
