Britannia and the Bear
A compelling new narrative about how two Great Powers of the early twentieth century did battle, both openly and in the shadows Decades before the Berlin Wall went up, a Cold War had already begun raging.

Jewish Studies and Israel Studies in the Twenty-First Century
Jewish studies has been a vibrant academic discipline for many decades, and since the establishment of the Association for Israel Studies in 1985 to engage in research on the history, politics, society, and culture of the modern state of Israel, the two disciplines have worked along parallel tracks in universities. This book focuses on the vibrant academic field of Israel studies and its complex and dynamic relations and intersections with its “older sibling” Jewish studies. Scholarly contributions from around the globe illustrate that the ongoing and growing interest in Israel studies, in particular since the early 2000s, must be analyzed and understood in its relationship to Jewish studies. Only this will allow scholarship to reflect on not only the intersections between the two fields but also on the prospects of cross-pollination between the disciplines for research and teaching. This will become ever more vital in an increasingly globalized world with shifting concepts, borders, and identity concepts.
Israel's 70th Anniversary: Insights and Perspectives
The aim of the volume is to offer interdisciplinary insights unknown to many into the interior of the religious, cultural and political laboratory that is Israel. Europe can learn a lot from Israel: The handling of religious diversity within the country; the meaning of the Hebrew language; the integration of more than a million Jewish immigrants; the development of a dynamic economy; a flourishing education and science system; a rich culture in the field of literature and above all film; and last but not least the lively, constant and conflictual struggle for democracy. Additionally, the question of Israel-related anti-Semitism is debated from the perspective of Jewish studies, social sciences and Catholic theology.
Verehrter Feind
Rechtsintellektuelle Netzwerke versuchten bereits in der frühen Bundesrepublik, das Stigma der NS-Vergangenheit abzulegen und Einfluss zu erlangen. Amerikabilder erwiesen sich hierfür als wirkmächtiges und etabliertes Instrument: Kapitalismus, Individualismus oder Demokratie waren bereits in der Weimarer Republik als Folgen einer erzwungenen »Amerikanisierung« abgelehnt worden. Im Kalten Krieg standen solch stereotype Feindbilder im ideologischen Spannungsfeld mit dem identitätsstiftenden Antikommunismus. Darius Harwardt blickt auf die wichtigsten Personen, Medien und Gruppierungen der »Neuen Rechten« sowie auf deren Weltbilder und Widersprüche – von ihren Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart des Rechtspopulismus.
