        A grand strategy of peace

        Britain and the creation of the United Nations Organization, 1939-1945

        by Andrew Ehrhardt

        A grand strategy of peace is the first detailed account of Britain's role in the creation of the United Nations Organization during the Second World War. As a work of traditional diplomatic history that brings in elements of intellectual history, the book describes how British officials, diplomats, politicians, and writers - previously seen to be secondary actors to the United States in this period - thought about, planned for, and helped to establish a future international order. While in the present day, many scholars and analysts have returned to the origins of the post- 1945 international system, this book offers an exhaustive account of how the statesmen and more importantly, the officials working below the statesmen, actually conceived of and worked to establish a post-war world order.

        My Italy with Berlusconi

        And what has become of it. Essays, conversations, reports

        by Michaela Namuth

        The political era of media entrepreneur and multi-billionaire Silvio Berlusconi began in 1994. German journalist Michaela Namuth also arrived in Rome at that time. He became prime minister, she became a freelance correspondent for various newspapers. She spent the long period of his government with him. During this time, the populist Berlusconi not only paved the way for a far-right government, he was also an ice-breaker for other right-wing populists in Europe and elsewhere. What else happened during and after Berlusconi's time in power is told in 20 chapters of articles, reports and interviews. The result is a colourful mosaic of contemporary Italy. It is about publishing, design, crime fiction, the mafia, a women's factory, the south and Nutella. Under Berlusconi, the country has changed. Many speak of “Berlusconisation”, by which they mean the gradual weakening of democracy. It is a critical book, but also a declaration of love to a contradictory country whose name still has a special ring to many ears.

        Soziologie und Nationalsozialismus

        Positionen, Debatten, Perspektiven

        by Michaela Christ, Maja Suderland

        Das Verhältnis der deutschen Soziologie zum Nationalsozialismus ist merkwürdig: Trotz der gesellschaftlichen Bedeutung des Themas gibt es nur vereinzelte soziologische Analysen. Warum ist das so? In welchen Bereichen des Fachs fand überhaupt eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem »Dritten Reich« statt? Was könnte die Soziologie zur Erforschung des Nationalsozialismus und des Holocaust beitragen? Und was wäre der Gewinn für das Fach selbst, wenn es sich mit diesen Themen beschäftigte? Der Band versucht erstmalig, Antworten auf diese Fragen zu finden. Mit Beiträgen von Michael Becker, Henning Borggräfe, Michaela Christ, Helmut Dahmer, Christian Gudehus, Peter Imbusch, Kobi Kabalek, Carsten Klingemann, Beate Krais, Nina Leonhard, Elissa Mailänder, Ludger Pries, Karl-Siegbert Rehberg, Christoph Reinprecht, Gerhard Schäfer, Sonja Schnitzler, Hans-Georg Soeffner, Erhard Stölting und Maja Suderland.

        The Jacobites and the Grand Tour

        Educational travel and small-states' diplomacy

        by Jérémy Filet

        In the first monograph to fully examine the intersecting networks of Jacobites and travellers to the continent, Filet considers how small states used official diplomacy and deployed soft power - embodied by educational academies - to achieve foreign policy goals. This work uses little-known archival materials to explain how and why certain small states secretly supported the Jacobite cause during the crucial years surrounding the 1715 rising, while others stayed out of Jacobite affairs.At the same time, the book demonstrates how early modern small states sought to cultivate good relations with Britain by attracting travellers as part of a wider trend of ensuring connections with future diplomats or politicians in case a Stuart restoration never came.This publication therefore brings together a study of Britain, small states, Jacobitism, and educational travel, in its nexus at continental academies.

        Frankfurt ist anders

        by Eva Demski

        Eine Weltstadt, die aus Dörfern besteht, das ist Frankfurt. Viel gescholten als kalter Bankenplatz, sucht die Stadt andere Rollen und findet sie auch. Sie will zum Beispiel grün sein und glamourös, das eine schafft sie ganz gut, das andere nicht. Frankfurt ist für viele Menschen eine Durchgangsstation, in der sie nach Jahrzehnten plötzlich erstaunt feststellen: Ich bin ja geblieben! Eva Demski ist es genau so gegangen. Aus unzähligen Erkundungen, Wegbeschreibungen, Ortsterminen, Porträts, Pamphleten und Liebeserklärungen ist ein Frankfurt-Buch geworden, ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit, aber mit Überraschungen. Vergessene Parks und das Mainufer mit Max Beckmanns Blick, wenig Goethe, dafür seine Mutter und die Freundin Marianne von Willemer umso eingehender, selbstbewusste Hässlichkeiten und schüchterne Schönheiten, Veränderungswahn und Bewahrungsmühen – all das und mehr kennzeichnet die Stadt, von der Eva Demski einmal gesagt hat, sie liebe sie »wie einen hässlichen Hund« – was nichts anderes heißt als: ganz besonders.

        by Michael Hierholzer, Jean-Christophe Ammann

        Die Kunst fühlt sich, anders als die Philosophie, keinem Begründungszwang unterworfen. Sie argumentiert nicht, sondern behauptet, schert sich nicht um Wahrheit, sondern allenfalls um Wahrnehmung. Die Gedanken, die in die Kunst eingehen und sie manchmal dominieren, sind letztlich an kein System gebunden.
