Book excerpt: Die Ostseemetropole Riga ist in der außerlettischen, insbesondere der deutschsprachigen historischen Forschung lange Zeit vor allem als ein Phänomen der mittelalterlichen Stadt-, Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte untersucht worden. Dagegen hat die neuere Geschichte Rigas, seine Entwicklung von der vormodernen, von einer deutschsprachigen Kaufmannschaft geprägten, sich in überschaubaren und festgefügten Bahnen bewegenden Handelsstadt zu einer multiethnischen, von kultureller und sozialer Vielfalt, wirtschaftlicher Dynamik und industrieller Beschleunigung erfüllten Metropole bislang deutlich weniger Aufmerksamkeit gefunden. Erst in jüngster Zeit sind die hinter den grundlegenden Wandlungen des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts stehenden Modernisierungsprozesse und die parallel und verzahnt mit diesen abgelaufenen Prozesse des modernen nation-building auch für Riga stärker in den Blick genommen worden. Dabei erweist sich Riga, das in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts binnen weniger Jahrzehnte von knapp 100.000 auf über 500.000 Einwohner expandierte und zu einem der wichtigsten Industrie- und Handelszentren des Russischen Reiches aufstieg, als ein besonders lohnendes und interessantes Fallbeispiel zum Studium des Wandels von einer vormodernen zu einer modernen Metropole. Die 21 deutsch- und englischsprachigen Aufsätze lettischer, litauischer, russischer, polnischer, englischer und deutscher Autorinnen und Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes werfen daher nicht nur Licht auf ein historisch einmaliges, individuelles Phänomen, das es als solches in seiner politischen, wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und kulturellen Eigenheit zu erfassen und zu beschreiben lohnt, sondern bieten in diesem Sinne auch Beiträge zu einer vertieften Erkenntnis der vielfältigen Probleme von Migration, Industrialisierung, sozialer Mobilität oder ethnisch-nationaler Pluralität, Integration und Identität. Sie sind Erträge einer internationalen Tagung, die vom 11. bis 16. September 2001 anlässlich des 800. Jahrestages der Gründung Rigas in der lettischen Hauptstadt veranstaltet wurde.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “forgotten majority” of German merchants in London between the end of the Hanseatic League and the end of the Napoleonic Wars became the largest mercantile Christian immigrant group in the eighteenth century. Using previously neglected and little used evidence, this book assesses the causes of their migration, the establishment of their businesses in the capital, and the global reach of the enterprises. As the acquisition of British nationality was the admission ticket to Britain’s commercial empire, it investigates the commercial function of British naturalization policy in the early modern period, while also considering the risks of failure and chance for a new beginning in a foreign environment. As more German merchants integrated into British commercial society, they contributed to London becoming the leading place of exchange between the European continent, Russia, and the New World.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In European Cities in the Modern Era, 1850-1914 Friedrich Lenger analyses the demographic and economic preconditions of European urbanization, compares the extent to which Europe’s cities were characterized by heterogeneity with respect to the social, national and religious composition of its population and asks in which way differences resulting from this heterogeneity were resolved either peacefully or violently. Using this general perspective and extending the scope by including Eastern and Southern Europe the dominant view of Europe’s prewar cities as islands of modernity is challenged and the ubiquity of urban violence established as a central analytical problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before democracy becomes an institutionalised form of political authority, the rupture with authoritarian forms of power causes deep uncertainty about power and outcomes. This book connects the study of democratisation in eastern Europe and Russia to the emergence and crisis of communism. Wydra argues that the communist past is not simply a legacy but needs to be seen as a social organism in gestation, where critical events produce new expectations, memories and symbols that influence meanings of democracy. By examining a series of pivotal historical events, he shows that democratisation is not just a matter of institutional design, but rather a matter of consciousness and leadership under conditions of extreme and traumatic incivility. Rather than adopting the opposition between non-democratic and democratic, Wydra argues that the communist experience must be central to the study of the emergence and nature of democracy in (post-) communist countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European integration is one of the most ambitious and socially far-reaching developments in world politics and in world economics. Against growing opposition and despite increasing social heterogeneity, the European Union continues to expand and to acquire new competences. But to what extent is the self-proclaimed "ever closer union among the peoples of Europe" a social reality? In which ways is the political European project anchored in social developments? How does social change impinge upon political integration? Societal trends in multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and socially diverse Europe have never been studied systematically. Handbook of European Societies: Social Transformations in the 21st Century sets to rectify this neglect of societal developments in Europe, providing a groundwork for the sociology of European integration. The book portrays social life and social relations in the enlarged Europe, and gives a perspective on the European Union as an evolving social entity. Handbook of European Societies is a pioneering source book analyzing the current social patterns on the continent. It covers a representative selection of major topics of social concern and sociological relevance, such as Collective Action, Consumption, Identity, Power Structure, Sexuality, Stratification and Well-being. Each contribution probes key developments in a strictly comparative manner. The Handbook thus offers a detailed look into the intricacies of the national societies of Europe and into the prospect of an emerging European society. The Editors have enlisted leading researchers to synthesize existing knowledge and to make use of many different data sources in a straight-forward style. The contributions stay away from jargon, simple labeling and sweeping assertions. Instead, they provide solid and accessible information on a wide variety of social trends and processes within and across European societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of modernist architects in East Central Europe The first half of the twentieth century witnessed the rise of modernist architects. Brokers of Modernity reveals how East Central Europe turned into one of the pre-eminent testing grounds of the new belief system of modernism. By combining the internationalism of the CIAM organization and the modernising aspirations of the new states built after 1918, the reach of modernist architects extended far beyond their established fields. Yet, these architects paid a price when Europe’s age of extremes intensified. Mainly drawing on Polish, but also wider Central and Eastern European cases, this book delivers a pioneering study of the dynamics of modernist architects as a group, including how they became qualified, how they organized, communicated and attempted to live the modernist lifestyle themselves. In doing so, Brokers of Modernity raises questions concerning collective work in general and also invites us to examine the social role of architects today. Ebook available in Open Access. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).

Book excerpt: An exchange on education ideas has shaped the transatlantic discourse in education for a long time. Over the past two decades education science has increasingly become networked internationally. Since 2015, the Office for International Cooperation in Education at DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education has organized international sessions on education research at the Annual Meetings of the American Educational Research Association, thus providing a floor for transatlantic exchange on current research topics. The volume gives an overview of the transatlantic activities in education research with regard to these sessions representing a collection of topics ranging from school development over the use of large scale assessment and digital data in education to questions related to migration and public education or the economization of education. At the same time the volume offers a reflection on the assets and obstacles of international exchange.

The picture that emerges from this collection is a depressing one and raises many questions about why "ordinary men" got involved as perpetrators and bystanders in an unprecedented program of extermination of "racially inferior" men, women, and children in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union during the Second World War."--Pub. desc.
