View Rights PortalConservatism, Christian Democracy, and the Dynamics of Transformation compares the centre-right political traditions of Britain, the Nordic countries, France, West Germany, and Austria and looks for evidence of political cooperation and influence across borders during the period 1945-90. The book explores howa variety of intellectuals, politicians, and political parties transformed their politics in response to major economic, social, and political challenges and seeks to explain why conservatives and Christian democrats came to feel that they belonged to a wider centre-right political family by the end of this period. It also examines why these political traditions found it difficult to cooperate with each other after the Second World War and why they decided to invest more political capital in inter-party relations and wider transnational projects from the 1960s. As the book shows, these developments resulted in two new centre-right internationals: the European Democrat Union and the International Democrat Union.
Ihre Hoheit Maria Carolina in Bangs Erzählung ist eine unglückliche Prinzessin im goldenen Käfig. Von Kindheit an wird sie auf die ihr vorgezeichnete Rolle als adlige Repräsentatin gedrillt. Die aufkeimende Liebe zu einem jungen Schauspieler bleibt unerfüllt. Vorbild für Maria Carolina ist Prinzessin Marie Elisabeth aus der thüringischen Residenzstadt Meiningen, deren ritualisiertes öffentliches Leben Bang 1886 beobachtet hat. Zum 100. Todestag von Herman Bang am 29. Januar 2012 erscheint "Ihre Hoheit" in einer neuen, aktuellen Übersetzung.
Governance is among the most used of new ideas in the social sciences, most notably in the fields of political science, public administration, sociology, social and political theory. As ever, debates within disciplines rarely transcend disciplinary boundaries. This volume, newly available in paperback, brings together authors from these fields to elaborate on the development of governance analysis in new conceptions of political and democratic communication. It not only seeks to identify, describe and evaluate the contribution of each discipline to a theory of communicative governance, but also lays the foundation of a multidisciplinary framework for studying the mediation in communicative governance of societal concerns for effectiveness, order and participation. The book is theoretical and comparative, drawing on authors and research in Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the US. It adopts an anti-foundational approach to deconstruct the essentialist discourses endemic in each discipline and the disciplinary traditions of each country. Notions such as steering and control in public administration, identities and domination in sociology, and the community and self in social and political theory are analysed in depth. The book will demonstrate clearly how the distinctive traditions of each discipline lead them to construct overlapping, loosely coupled, and sometimes incommensurable ideas about the institutions, politics and policies of governance. ;
Herman Bang (1857–1912), als Pfarrerssohn in der dänischen Provinz aufgewachsen, versuchte sich als Schauspieler, Regisseur und Feuilletonist, ehe er sich ganz der Literatur zuwandte. Lesereisen führten ihn durch ganz Europa. Bang gilt als Vollender der impressionistischen Erzählkunst, stilistisch wie thematisch gehört er zur künstlerischen Avantgarde seiner Zeit. »Bang war ein Zauberer impressionistischer Tableaus.« Neue Zürcher Zeitung
Herman Bang, der große dänische Erzähler, wurde 1857 als Sohn eines Pfarrers geboren. Seine Kindheit im weißen Haus verklärt sich in seiner Erinnerung zum Zustand reinen, lichtdurchfluteten Glücks, eng verbunden mit der Beziehung zur Mutter. Das graue Haus hingegen steht für Alter, Verfall und Unglück und ist mit der Person des Großvaters verknüpft. Man kann die beiden autobiographischen Romane, es sind Bangs bekannteste Werke, jeden für sich lesen, aber sie gehören zusammen.
