An explosion of little architectural magazines in the 1960s and 1970s instigated a radical transformation in architectural culture, as the magazines acted as a site of innovation and debate. Clip/Stamp/Fold takes stock of seventy little magazines from this period. The book brings together a remarkable range of documents and original research which the project has produced during its continuous travels over the last four years starting with the exhibition at the Storefront in November 2006. The book features transcripts from the “Small Talks” events in which editors and designers were invited to discuss their magazines; a stocktaking of over 100 significant issues that tracks the changing density and progression of the little magazine phenomenon; transcripts of more than forty interviews with magazine editors and designers from all over the world; a selection of magazine facsimiles; and a fold out poster that offers a mosaic image of more than 1,200 covers examined during the research.

In the past decade Europe has seen much change, and at the same time the importance of the regional perspectives has significantly increased. Regional Development Agencies in Europe brings together experiences of Regional and Development Agencies throughout Europe to provide material for the first major comparative study of bottom-up regional policy across the continent. Using an analytical framework developed by editors, the contributors evaluate the long term potential and limitations of the RDAs in terms of promoting regional and economic development. Institutional and other preconditions for successful regional polices are identified, and combined with a broad analytical and geographical coverage that includes Eastern Europe, a clearer picture of the relevance of the RDAs emerges.
Decision-making within the EU has moved to a third (regional) level of government emerging in the EU policy process alongside the first (Union) and second (member state) levels. Multi-level governance can increasingly be identified. These papers describe and analyse this third level.

Die jüdische Geschichte als integralen Bestandteil des Alten Reiches zu verstehen und Gemeinsamkeiten und Differenzen jüdischen Lebens während des Spätmittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit aufzudecken war das Anliegen einer internationalen wissenschaftlichen Tagung am Institut für Europäische Kulturgeschichte der Universität Augsburg. Der daraus hervorgegangene Band untersucht die politischen Rahmenbedingungen, die für die Geschicke der jüdischen Gemeinschaften bestimmend waren. Ebenso widmet er sich Fragen jüdischer politischer Kommunikation und Organisation, der Geschlechtergeschichte sowie den verschiedenen Formen von Mobilität und Überwindung kultureller und politischer Grenzen. Zudem setzt er sich kritisch mit den beiden Überlieferungssträngen selbst, den Urkunden und Akten einer Verwaltungstätigkeit der christlichen Obrigkeit wie den Quellen innerjüdischer Provenienz, auseinander. Das Buch folgt der Überzeugung, dass es für ein tieferes Verständnis jüdischer Geschichte unerlässlich ist, die Perspektiven und Methoden der Judaistik mit der Reichs- und Landesgeschichte, der Geistesgeschichte und der Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte zusammenzuführen.
