Book Synopsis Deutschlands östliche Nachbarschaften by : Edmund Dmitrów
Download or read book Deutschlands östliche Nachbarschaften written by Edmund Dmitrów and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Wendung Deutschlands östliche Nachbarschaften trägt der Tatsache Rechnung, dass die Geschichte der deutsch-österreichischen, deutsch-polnischen oder deutsch-tschechischen Beziehungen keineswegs auf ihre staatsrechtlichen, politischen, nationalen oder ethnischen Merkmale reduziert werden sollte und sich nicht mit Hilfe gängiger historischer Zäsuren erfassen und zusammenfassend beschreiben läßt. Die Beiträge dieses Sammelbandes veranschaulichen nicht nur die historische Vielfalt jener Beziehungen, in denen Deutsche seit Jahrhunderten im östlichen Teil Europas mit Menschen anderer nationaler Zugehörigkeit gelebt haben und bis heute leben. Dieses Buch dokumentiert auch die mentale Welt einer solchen Nachbarschaft jener Wissenschaftler und Intellektuellen vor allem aus Deutschland, Polen und Tschechien, mit denen Hans Henning Hahn seit den 1970er Jahren zusammenarbeitet. Sie verbindet die Zugehörigkeit zu einer spezifischen kulturhistorischen Tradition: der Tradition all jener Menschen, die es vermögen, sich über kulturelle Unterschiede und politische Konfliktlagen hinweg miteinander zu verständigen.
Book Synopsis Rampart Nations by : Dr. Liliya Berezhnaya
Download or read book Rampart Nations written by Dr. Liliya Berezhnaya and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “bulwark” or antemurale myth—whereby a region is imagined as a defensive barrier against a dangerous Other—has been a persistent strand in the development of Eastern European nationalisms. While historical studies of the topic have typically focused on clashes and overlaps between sociocultural and religious formations, Rampart Nations delves deeper to uncover the mutual transfers and multi-sided national and interconfessional conflicts that helped to spread bulwark myths through Europe’s eastern periphery over several centuries. Ranging from art history to theology to political science, this volume offers new ways of understanding the political, social, and religious forces that continue to shape identity in Eastern Europe.
Book Synopsis Transregional versus National Perspectives on Contemporary Central European History by : Michal Baran, Magdalena M. Vit
Download or read book Transregional versus National Perspectives on Contemporary Central European History written by Michal Baran, Magdalena M. Vit and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume compares different regional perspectives on the national and democracy-building aims of individual states. It confronts discourses about national states to regional perspectives on the past as well as the current political and social landscape. Why are we observing calls for national identity right now? What are the roots of this development? How can a Central European identity be shaped when national perspectives are prevalent? The book’s first part analyses social and political processes that shaped nation-states in the Central European region and shows divergent trends of individual states when it comes to defining a regional approach of the Visegrád Group (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary = V4). The second part focuses on key personalities of the 20th century history of individual V4 countries in the light of their perception in the neighbouring states and how they shaped national states as well as identities after the end of World War II. Similar aims and approaches implemented by individual countries often led to anything but raising regional understanding. The book’s third part reflects upon activities of various initiatives aiming to approach this challenge from the perspective of civil society, and Central Europe’s young generation. The collection brings together leading historians of Central Europe from the V4 countries. It also offers external perspectives on historical developments in Central Europe from the perspective of the 21st century and on political cooperation as well as its roots. Lastly, it includes practitioners of Central European cooperation from both academia and civil society, and their reflection on their countries’ political cooperation after 1989.
Book Synopsis Antisemitism in Eastern Europe by : Samuel Salzborn
Download or read book Antisemitism in Eastern Europe written by Samuel Salzborn and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe is expanding - and therewith remembers its historical basis, which was hidden beneath the shadow of the Cold War for a long time. This return of a common history which is mostly narrated as a history of success today, however contains the perception of transnational traditions at the same time which by contrast should give reason for a critical self-reflection. This volume gives an impulse through a comparative examination of the still highly actual forms of antisemitism in Europe. The focus will be on the developments in the countries from the Baltic States to South Eastern Europe, which usually are little known in Western Europe. At the same time, the specifities of antisemitism in Eastern Europe are incorporated in the theoretical insights of antisemitism research, thus filling a gap that has existed until now.

Book Synopsis Germany and the European East in the Twentieth Century by : Eduard Mühle
Download or read book Germany and the European East in the Twentieth Century written by Eduard Mühle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did German society perceive the European East during the short twentieth century? What were the mental maps Germans constructed as their images of the European East? How did these images alter over time due to changing political systems and to what extent did those mental perceptions influence political action and the relationship between Germany and Eastern Europe?Tackling questions such as these, this book looks at the complicated relationship between Germany and the European East. Politically significant, this relationship was often fraught with tension, always delicate and never easy. The book looks at the social, cultural and political contexts that shaped the German image of the East during the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich and the Federal Republic. In addition, it charts the mental maps that German society constructed with respect to single constituent parts of Eastern Europe, such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Baltic States and the Soviet Union.The contributors consider how the relationship was transformed from one of hostility to one more conciliatory in character by the end of the twentieth century.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Der Band entwirft u. a. ein europäisches Konzept der direkten Nachbarschaft zwischen der erweiterten EU und ihren künftigen östlichen Anrainerstaaten. Der Beitritt der mittel- und osteuropäischen Staaten in die Europäische Union ist eine Entscheidung gesamteuropäischer Reichweite, die die Beziehungen zu den künftigen östlichen Nachbarstaaten der erweiterten Union tiefgreifend verändern wird. Um die Stabilität und äußere Sicherheit der EU vor allem durch schwach ausgebildete Demokratien, instabile Marktwirtschaften, Minderheitenprobleme und ungeklärte Grenzfragen sowie den ungelösten Status der Kaliningrader Enklave nicht zu gefährden, muss die Gestaltung der politischen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Beziehungen dieser Staaten zu ihren Nachbarn als europäische Aufgabe betrachtet werden."--Verlag.
Book Synopsis The Kaliningrad Challenge by : Hanne-Margret Birckenbach
Download or read book The Kaliningrad Challenge written by Hanne-Margret Birckenbach and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2003 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kaliningradskaya Oblast, Russia's Baltic enclave which soon will turn into an island amid the enlarged EU and NATO, constitutes a twofold challenge to European politics: Due to its economic, social, historical, geographical, strategic, and cultural peculiarities the detached region may become a source of instability. However, due to the same peculiarities the region also bears the potential to serve as a pilot-region for an EU-Russian partnership. To meet the latter perspective all actors concerned need to engage in a dialogue-based, coordinated, and problem-solving approach. This study provides recommendations to a wide range of actors on how to approach the Kaliningrad challenge in a proactive manner. It presents a policy paper drafted by a group of Kaliningrad experts from eight countries and is complemented by fourteen issue-oriented chapters which provide in-depth reasoning on the suggestions made by the group. Hanne-Margret Birckenbach is professor of political sciences at the University of Giessen, Germany. Christian Wellmann is deputy director of SHIP--The Schleswig-Holstein Institute for Peace Research, Germany.
Book Synopsis The Heimat Abroad by : K. Molly O'Donnell
Download or read book The Heimat Abroad written by K. Molly O'Donnell and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-02-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germans have been one of the most mobile and dispersed populations on earth. Communities of German speakers, scattered around the globe, have long believed they could recreate their Heimat (homeland) wherever they moved, and that their enclaves could remain truly German. Furthermore, the history of Germany is inextricably tied to Germans outside the homeland who formed new communities that often retained their Germanness. Emigrants, including political, economic, and religious exiles such as Jewish Germans, fostered a nostalgia for home, which, along with longstanding mutual ties of family, trade, and culture, bound them to Germany. The Heimat Abroad is the first book to examine the problem of Germany's long and complex relationship to ethnic Germans outside its national borders. Beyond defining who is German and what makes them so, the book reconceives German identity and history in global terms and challenges the nation state and its borders as the sole basis of German nationalism. Krista O'Donnell is Associate Professor of History, William Paterson University. Nancy Reagin is Professor of History, Pace University. Renete Bridenthal is Emerita Professor of History, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York.

Download or read book Die deutsche Präsenz in den USA written by Josef Raab and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2008 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas the cultural and political influence of the U.S. on Europe and Germany has been researched extensively, the impact of more than 6 million German immigrants on U.S.-American history and culture has received far less scholarly attention. Therefore this volume addresses a wide range of areas in which a German presence has been manifesting itself in the U.S. for more than three centuries. Among the disciplines involved in this broad analysis are linguistics, literary studies, history, economics, musicology as well as media studies and cultural studies.
