The Inverted Mirror
It is hard to imagine nowadays that, for many years, France and Germany considered each other as "arch enemies." And yet, for well over a century, these two countries waged verbal and ultimately violent wars against each other. This study explores a particularly virulent phase during which each of these two nations projected certain assumptions about national character onto the other - distorted images, motivated by antipathy, fear, and envy, which contributed to the growing hostility between the two countries in the years before the First World War. Most remarkably, as the author discovered, the qualities each country ascribed to its chief adversary appeared to be exaggerated or negative versions of precisely those qualities that it perceived to be lacking or inadequate in itself. Moreover, banishing undesirable traits and projecting them onto another people was also an essential step in the consolidation of national identity. As such, it established a pattern that has become all too familiar to students of nationalism and xenophobia in recent decades. This study shows that antagonism between states is not a fact of nature but socially constructed.

For Peace in Europe
Le processus d'union européenne voit aujourd'hui un point d'arrêt sur le plan politique et institutionnel, malgré les étapes décisives réalisées après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il reste en effet à affronter des thèmes et des problèmes qui, pendant l'entre-deux-guerres, animèrent le débat entre les pionniers de l'européanisme. Si, à l'époque, leurs propositions restèrent sans suite, ayant une issue destructrice pour la paix et l'Europe, cet héritage idéal si précieux a permis une continuité et de germer par la suite. Ce livre a pour but de présenter une série d'idées, d'initiatives, de programmes, qui entre les deux guerres entendirent promouvoir le maintien d'un ord...
Die S„kularisation in Bayern im Jahr 1803: Von der zeitgen”ssischen Wahrnehmung bis in die Gegenwart
Die S„kularisation von 1803 war ein Prozess mit dauerhaften Folgen, die selbst ber 200 Jahre sp„ter noch immer kontrovers diskutiert werden. Durch den Reichsdeputationshauptschluss vom 25. Februar 1803, der Ende April des Jahres durch kaiserliche Ratifikation in Kraft trat, begann die revolution„re Umgestaltung der traditionellen, territorialen und politischen Strukturen. Die Paragraphen 35 und 36 bildeten die rechtliche Grundlage fr die ?in Rastatt und Lun‚ville getroffenen Vorentscheidungen? fr die bis dahin gr”áte territoriale Umw„lzung in Deutschland. 112 rechtsrheinische Reichsst„nde, 19 Reichsbistmer, 44 Reichsabteien, 41 Reichsst„dte, viele hundert lands„ssi...
Oxford History of Modern German Theology
From the closing decades of the eighteenth century, German theology has been a major intellectual force within modern western thought, closely connected to important developments in idealism, romanticism, historicism, phenomenology, and hermeneutics. Despite its influential legacy, however, no recent attempts have sought to offer an overview of its history and development. Oxford History of Modern German Theology, Vol. I: 1781-1848, the first of a three-volume series, provides the most comprehensive multi-authored overview of German theology from the period from 1781-1848. Kaplan and Vander Schel cover categories frequently omitted from earlier overviews of the time period, such as the place...
Bildung als Aufklärung
Was ist Aufklärung? Die Frage scheint aktueller denn je. Viel spricht für eine weite Perspektive, die über das 18. Jahrhundert hinausblickt, den eurozentrischen Rahmen überschreitet und 'Aufklärungen' kultur- und epochenübergreifend fasst. Die 30 Beiträge des Bandes verstehen 'Aufklärung' als anthropologische Kategorie, gehen dem engen Zusammenhang mit Bildung und Religion nach und diskutieren historisch-kulturelle Differenzen und Kontinuitäten. Thematisiert werden verschiedene Spielarten von 'Aufklärung' im klassischen 'pädagogischen Jahrhundert', die Frage nach 'Aufklärung' im Mittelalter, 'aufklärerische' Bildungskonzepte seit dem 19. Jahrhundert, die Spannungsfelder Islam und Gender sowie Varianten von 'Aufklärung' als 'Kulturtransfer' oder eigenständiger Entwicklung mit den Beispielen Island, Turkestan, Mongolei und Japan.

At Europe's Service
The European People's Party, the largest political party in Europe, has roots that run deep in history. Founded in 1976 as a Christian Democratic federation, the European People's Party is now a strong centre-right movement and a leading European political family. It has member parties in almost all European countries, and it is very well represented in the institutions of the European Union. This book tells the story of the European People's Party: why it was founded, how it is currently organised and what its guiding ideas, values and principles are. It gives an up-to-date account of the party's contribution to European integration, its work with its member parties and its central role in organising the centre-right in Europe. Above all, this book is for everyone who wants to know what a European-level political party looks like, how it is structured and how it acts.
