Die Europawahl im Juni dieses Jahr hat gezeigt, dass anti-europäische Parteien in ganz Europa Aufwind haben und mehr Einfluss im Europaparlament haben. Nationale Wahlen wie die in Frankreich zeigen, dass es aber weiter starke Bündnisse gegen Rechtspopulisten gibt. Was bedeutet das? Befindet sich die EU im Aufschwung oder wird sie durch nationale Bestrebungen einzelner Mitgliedsstaaten geschwächt? Die EU und ihre Nationalstaaten: Das war noch nie einfach. Aber wie ist das Verhältnis eigentlich gerade, wie stark sind die Fliehkräfte? Werden nun weitere Länder ihre nationalen Interessen vor die der Gemeinschaft stellen und kommt es nach dem Brexit 2016 dadurch zu weiteren Austritten aus der EU? Und wie gut finden die Menschen eigentlich die EU? Diesen Fragen haben wir uns in unserem Gespräch mit Kiran Klaus Patel, Historiker an der LMU, gewidmet und versucht, durch einen Blick in die Geschichte und auf die Anfänge der EU eine Antwort darauf zu bekommen, warum die EU heute so einen schlechten Ruf hat und wie beständig die EU als Staatengemeinschaft eigentlich noch ist.

„Vom europäischen Aufbruch zur Eurosklerose? Rolle und Beitrag der Bundesrepublik zur Entwicklung der Europäischen Gemeinschaft“. So lautet der Vortragstitel von Kiran Klaus Patel, Professor für Neueste Geschichte und Zeitgeschichte an der LMU München. Der Vortrag ist Teil des ersten Panels der Konferenz Kanzlerwechsel 1974, das unter dem Titel „Weltmacht wider Willen? Die bundesdeutsche Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik unter Brandt und Schmidt“ stand. Vor fast 50 Jahren, am 6. Mai 1974, trat Willy Brandt vom Amt des Bundeskanzlers zurück, und zehn Tage später wurde Helmut Schmidt zu seinem Nachfolger gewählt. Aus diesem Anlass veranstalteten die Bundeskanzler-Willy-Brandt-Stiftung und die Bundeskanzler-Helmut-Schmidt-Stiftung am 25. und 26. April 2024 eine internationale Konferenz unter dem Titel „Kanzlerwechsel 1974: Die Bundesrepublik zwischen Reformpolitik und Krisenmanagement“ in den Räumen der Leibniz-Gemeinschaft in Berlin.

Ist die EU ein historisches Friedensprojekt? Dieses brisante Thema besprechen wir mit Kiran Klaus Patel, Geschichtsprofessor an der LMU München.

Der Historiker Kiran Klaus Patel hält es für unwahrscheinlich, dass Großbritannien durch eine stärkere Abkopplung von der EU weltpolitisch mehr Einfluss nehmen kann. Auch die von Premier Boris Johnson vielbeschworene parlamentarische Souveränität sei im Verlauf des Prozesses beschnitten worden.

Project Europe made waves when it was published in German in 2018 (CH Beck) and was soon translated into English as Project Europe: A History (Cambridge UP, 2020). A clue to its crossover appeal can be found in its original subtitle: "A Critical History." Avoiding the traps of euro-'Whig' or eurosceptical histories, Patel rethinks the development of the European Communities and the European Union from first principles. He concludes that they were just one model among many postwar associations but proved the most evolutionarily fit; that they benefited from peace more than they contributed to it; and that "disintegration and dysfunctionality" were embedded in their design. Having taught at Maastricht University and at the European University Institute in Florence, Kiran Klaus Patel is now professor of European history at Ludwig Maximilian University Munich. *Patel's book recommendation is The Capital by Robert Menasse (MacLehose Press, 2019). Tim Gwynn Jones is an economic and political-risk analyst at Medley Global Advisors.

Wie gut halten die europäischen Staaten zusammen? Zu Beginn der Coronakrise wurden die Grenzen geschlossen. Die innereuropäische Solidarität musste plötzlich hinter den nationalen Interessen anstehen. Auch bei internationalen Konflikten wie dem Syrienkrieg hat die EU sich eher diplomatisch weggeduckt. Welche Perspektiven das Bündnis noch hat, diskutiert SPIEGEL-Redakteurin Eva-Maria Schnurr mit Kiran Klaus Patel, Professor für Europäische Geschichte, und dem Diplomaten und Leiter der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz Wolfgang Ischinger. Das Gespräch wurde im November 2019 in Kooperation mit dem KörberForum aufgezeichnet. Mehr Infos: www.spiegel-live.de

In der Coronakrise steht die EU heftig in der Kritik. Kein gemeinsames Handeln, mangelnde Solidarität: Wenn die EU jetzt nicht liefert, "hat sie für viele ihre Daseinsberechtigung verloren", sagt Kiran Klaus Patel, Professor für Europäische Geschichte. Aber ist diese Kritik berechtigt? Was kann die EU angesichts der Pandemie überhaupt tun? Und was tut sie bereits? Auf all diese Fragen versuchen wir in unserer ersten Podcastfolge der Reihe Visions4EU Antworten zu finden. Musik: „Windows“ von Chad Crouch. Quelle: Free Music Archive. CC BY-NC 3.0

This podcast features an interview with Prof. Dr. Kiran Klaus Patel of Maastricht University. He speaks about his research on cooperation and integration in Europe post-WWII, and their effects on current events in Europe.

Mit der Europäischen Union verbindet sich eine Vielzahl von Narrativen, die bislang nie empirisch auf ihren Wahrheitsgehalt überprüft wurden: war die EU in ihrer Geschichte wirklich immer Garant für Frieden und Sicherheit? Haben wir ihr unseren Wohlstand zu verdanken? Hält die Rede von der Union als Wertegemeinschaft der kritischen Überprüfung stand? Der Historiker Prof. Dr. Kiran Klaus Patel gibt im Gespräch mit Gregor Papsch Antworten auf Fragen, die vor den Europawahlen im Mai 2019 einen ernüchternden Blick auf das „Projekt Europa“ eröffnen.

There are as many New Deals as there are books on the subject. Yet only recently have historians begun to dig into the international dimensions of the New Deal. Kiran Klaus Patel is one of those historians, and his book, The New Deal: A Global History (Princeton University Press, 2016), is an impressive crack at showing the transnational intertwinements and comparisons that made up the New Deal's moment. Patel locates the United States in a vast network of modernizing states who experienced a shared crisis in the years after 1929, developed national policies to address the crisis, and looked to other states in search of inspiration or out of fear. As late as 1938, for instance, Roosevelt was requesting Nazi labor statistics to help refine his own administrations planning. Patel shows how the New Deal shaped the world and, more importantly, was shaped by the world. The book provides fresh contributions to a range of different topics, such as the global Great Depression, the Good Neighbor Policy, the development of the welfare state, interwar international relations, and American post-WWII globalism. Kiran Klaus Patel, Professor of European and Global History at Maastricht University, achieves this with a knowledge of secondary literature in a variety of languages and rich archival evidence. The result of Patel's work is a New Deal that looks a lot less exceptional, yet no less important to global history.
