The Transatlantic Summer Academy (TASA)
For more than ten years, the University of Bonn has been host to students and
graduates from North America and Europe participating in the annual
T RANSATLANTIC S UMMER A CADEMY (TASA). Founded in 1994 by Prof. Lothar
Hönnighausen, then director of the North American Studies Program at the
University of Bonn, the T RANSATLANTIC S UMMER A CADEMY has always been
dedicated to fostering an understanding of the importance of the transatlantic
relations amongst future leaders and decision makers. The academy’s aim is
to develop an understanding of the common heritage of the people on both
continents and of the common challenges they are facing.
With its focus on “Alliances in the Past and in the Present,” the 12th
T RANSATLANTIC S UMMER A CADEMY once again offers an interesting and intensive
interdisciplinary program. Participants will find a supportive and stimulating
environment in which to explore their academic interests, and they will have
plenty of opportunities to gain first-hand insights in their field of study. The
practical experience and theoretical knowledge gained in the course of the
summer academy will foster an understanding both of the nature and the
importance of transatlantic relations and the European integration process in
the 21st century.
Such an understanding is needed more than ever in a world of rapid social
change and new security challenges for the transatlantic community. In the
aftermath of 9/11, the member states of NATO invoked the famous Article 5 of
the Washington Treaty for the first time in the history of the alliance. Only three
years after this pointed gesture of unity there are signs of a transatlantic rift.
In the recent past, the United States and Europe sometimes seemed to have
lost the fragile knowledge that
“[t]here is no alternative to the transatlantic community of values and action; there is
no replacement for the North Atlantic Alliance. The major security problems of our
time are international terrorism, failed states and the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction. These are challenges on a global scale. Just for that reason they
can only be resolved if North America and Europe are pulling in the same direction. If
the events of recent times have taught us anything, it is that neither America nor
Europe are able alone to overcome these new problems. American action without
allies is just as much a dead end as illusions about Europe as counterweight to the
USA. Perhaps these mind games can sell books. But they don’t make for successful
security policy.”
(“The Future Of the Atlantic Alliance”, NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop
Scheffer at the Manfred Wörner Lecture, Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation, 7 Oct. 2004)

In the Focus of this Year: Alliances
From the days of the Peloponnesian War to the formation of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and beyond, alliances have always played a crucial role in
the field of international relations. Yet, despite this obvious observation
alliances as such have not received much attention in the historiography nor in
the political analysis of international relations. Alliances are not only clear-cut
treaty systems, but they also evoke certain expectations among their member
states which can reach far beyond the original contractual commitments.
These expectations sometimes create invisible forces of enormous power. Also,
alliances are ambivalent political structures because they can be – in the words
of Paul W. Schroeder – used as “weapons of power and tools of management.”
This is why the 12th T RANSATLANTIC S UMMER A CADEMY will focus on alliances
and alliance politics as a historical phenomenon in its own right.
Since their development are subject to personal as well as to structural
influences, the analysis and discussion of alliances and alliance politics will be
guided by several central questions. One central complex will be the role
alliance politics play for political decision makers: are their decisions guided by
a sort of unwritten set of rules, an ‘alliances’ code of conduct’? The personal
influence on an alliance system is complemented by a number of factors which
are conditioned by a given organization as much as they in turn form these
structures. These structural influences constitute another central complex of
questions: Do alliances generate certain modes of expectation? Do these
expectations go beyond the purely contractual obligations? How do
consultations within the alliance work? Do the forms of communication allow
for conclusions regarding the balance of power within the alliance? Do
members of an alliance perceive threats homogeneously or is their threat
perception heterogeneous? How do the members deal with the so-called
‘Alliance Security Dilemma’ – the tension between fear of being forced to take
part in an armed conflict by an aggressive partner on the one hand and of
being abandoned by one’s partners during a crisis? Is there a reciprocal effect
between a state’s allicance policy and its domestic policies?
These and related questions will be analyzed and discussed in the course of a
four-week-long interdisciplinary program of lectures, tutorials, panel
discussions and briefings in the fields of politics, economics, law, history and
culture. The program is developed and conducted by a wide range of experts
from government, politics, economics, academia and the media. The schedule
allows for a sustained contact with those experts and for the opportunity of
discussing issues of particular interest to the participants.
4
Briefings, Lectures, Panel Discussions
The program is made up of a series of lectures, panel discussions, and
briefings. Lectures focus on specific issues in the areas of politics, economics,
law, history or culture. After a short introduction the participants will have the
opportunity to discuss with the distinguished speakers issues of particular
concern to them. In a panel discussion a specific issue will be discussed from
different political perspectives. In briefings government officials will discuss,
after a brief introduction, a specific issue with the participants.
The academy will end with three simulation games in the areas of politics,
economics and law. In the course of these simulations, participants will get an
opportunity to apply the knowledge they have gained during the summer
cademy in practice: put into the shoes of decision makers, they are asked to
provide proper advice to their national governments or international
organizations about how to manage an emerging international crisis.
Excursions and Field Trips
Excursions are a central pillar of the program. Participants of the 12th
T RANSATLANTIC S UMMER A CADEMY will travel to Berlin, Strasbourg, Luxembourg,
and Brussels to visit political institutions of Germany and the EU. Participants
will meet officials of the Council of Europe, the European Parliament, the Court
of Justice of the European Communities, the EU Commission, NATO and the
German government.
The excursions are supplemented by field trips to Cologne, Aachen and
Düsseldorf during which the Rhineland will be explored. In Düsseldorf,
participants will also meet with representatives of the state government of
Northrhine-Westfalia and of the German Bundesbank.
Participants
Participants are graduate and Ph.D. students from North America and Europe
with a strong background in European Studies, International Relations,
Political Science, History, Sociology, Economics, Law, or Cultural Studies. In
exceptional cases, senior year undergraduate students will be accepted if they
can demonstrate exceptional academic achievements and a sound knowledge
in the subject areas of the summer academy.
As in previous years, a particular effort will be made to give students from
Central and Eastern Europe the opportunity to meet and discuss the challenges
facing Europe and North America in the age of globalization and
interdependence with their counterparts from North America and Western
Europe.
