Download or read book Writing 20th Century International History written by Carole Fink and published by Wallstein Verlag. This book was released on 2017-02-27 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neue Perspektiven auf die Geschichte der Menschenrechte, der deutsch-israelischen Beziehungen und des Kalten Krieges. Carole Fink zählt seit Jahren zu den produktivsten und profiliertesten Köpfen der International History. Dass diese Teildisziplin der Geschichtswissenschaft weit mehr bieten kann als nüchterne Diplomatiegeschichte, zeigt die Autorin einmal mehr in den innovativen und quellengesättigten Beiträgen dieses Bandes: Wie haben die mannigfaltigen turns der Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften das Profil und die Perspektiven der International History in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten verändert? Wie funktionierte der vom Völkerbund installierte Minderheitenschutz in einer Welt, in der das Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Nationalstaaten weiterhin fast uneingeschränkte Priorität genoss? Mit welchen politischen Maßnahmen unterminierten Großbritannien und Australien Ende der dreißiger Jahre die internationalen Bemühungen um sichere Zufluchtsorte für die europäischen Juden? Welche politischen und persönlichen Faktoren prägten Günter Grass ́ Israelreise im März 1967, die als Vorbote eines fundamentalen Wandels der deutsch-israelischen Beziehungen gelesen werden kann? In einem abschließenden Gespräch reflektiert Carole Fink über ihre eigene Wissenschaftssozialisation und den Wandel ihres Fachs seit den sechziger Jahren.

Book excerpt: Bringing together scholars from the fields of musicology and international history, this book investigates the significance of music to foreign relations, and how it affected the interaction of nations since the late 19th century.

Download or read book History of International Relations and Russian Foreign Policy in the 20th Century (Volume II) written by Anatoly V. Torkunov and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume, focusing on 1945-1991, unpacks the reasons for the Cold War and takes the reader through its ebbs, flows and unexpected end. How did the allies of World War II become enemies? The authors argue that the Cold War controversy could have been avoided, or at least mitigated, had the sides been guided by healthy pragmatism instead of ideology and megalomania. Contradictory relations between the superpowers, regional wars and conflicts, and the scramble to escape a nuclear Holocaustâ "all of this reads sometimes as a good detective story. Perestroika and Glasnost, useful as they might be, came too late to radically improve the poisonous atmosphere of enmity in East-West relations. The end of the Cold War did not mean the end of rivalry. Good will in this case did not guarantee good outcomes. As civilizational, cultural, personal and religious contradictions begin to replace economic and social divides, we need to be fully aware of our past if we are to do our best to resolve these issues.

Book Synopsis Culture and International History by : Jessica C. E. Gienow-Hecht
Download or read book Culture and International History written by Jessica C. E. Gienow-Hecht and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining the perspectives of 18 international scholars from Europe and the United States with a critical discussion of the role of culture in international relations, this volume introduces recent trends in the study of Culture and International History. It systematically explores the cultural dimension of international history, mapping existing approaches and conceptual lenses for the study of cultural factors and thus hopes to sharpen the awareness for the cultural approach to international history among both American and non-American scholars. The first part provides a methodological introduction, explores the cultural underpinnings of foreign policy, and the role of culture in international affairs by reviewing the historiography and examining the meaning of the word culture in the context of foreign relations. In the second part, contributors analyze culture as a tool of foreign policy. They demonstrate how culture was instrumentalized for diplomatic goals and purposes in different historical periods and world regions. The essays in the third part expand the state-centered view and retrace informal cultural relations among nations and peoples. This exploration of non-state cultural interaction focuses on the role of science, art, religion, and tourism. The fourth part collects the findings and arguments of part one, two, and three to define a roadmap for further scholarly inquiry. A group of" commentators" survey the preceding essays, place them into a larger research context, and address the question "Where do we go from here?" The last and fifth part presents a selection of primary sources along with individual comments highlighting a new genre of resources scholars interested in culture and international relations can consult.
