Polish-German Relations
The book constitutes a sociological analysis of the origins of the Polish-German antagonism in the nineteenth and twentieth century and of the process of overcoming it. The author discusses the role played by the religious and political leaders as well as intellectuals of both nations and presents survey research data showing the marked improvement in mutual relations. After a long history of alternating relations, things between Poland and Germany were as bad as never before after World War II. The Nazi attack on Poland in 1939 and the atrocities committed during the occupation resulted in intense Polish hostility towards Germany. On the German side, the loss of territories created a feelin...
What is Asia to Us? (Routledge Revivals)
This book, first published in 1990, considers the uneasy relationship between Russia and Soviet Central Asia. Chapters examine both the significance of Asia to the Russian mind and the place that Asia has occupied in Russian geopolitical thinking in the last hundred years, showing that outbreaks of violence are simply a manifestation of a long-standing tension. This is a remarkable and comprehensive study, which will be of great value to those concerned with the history and future of Central Asia and Siberia.
The Political Economy of Transitions to Peace
How is peace actually achieved, reinforced, and made permanent? This is the question that this book tackles as the author examines the outcomes of a series of conflicts in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe from 1945 to the present. The insights and lessons emerging from these cases and drawn out by Press-Barnathan's analysis will help scholars and decision-makers to better understand and more skillfully manage transitions to peace in present-day conflicts.
Pendelmigration aus Oberschlesien
Das Konzept »transnationaler Räume« hat der Migrationssoziologie neue Impulse gegeben. Wenig Beachtung hingegen fand bisher die Pendelmigration deutsch-polnischer Doppelstaatler aus Oberschlesien - einer Region, die aus der ehemaligen Peripherie Deutschlands wie Polens inzwischen mitten in ein vereintes Europa gerückt ist. Dabei macht die wechselvolle Geschichte dieser historischen Grenzregion sie geradezu zu einem Paradebeispiel für das Phänomen »Transnationalismus«. Die hier analysierten Lebensgeschichten ihrer Einwohner_innen werfen Schlaglichter auf europäische Diskurse über soziale und politische Partizipation sowie auf individuelle und kollektive Identitätsbildung.

Nazi Empire-Building and the Holocaust in Ukraine
On 16 July 1941, Adolf Hitler convened top Nazi leaders at his headquarters in East Prussia to dictate how they would rule the newly occupied eastern territories. Ukraine, the "jewel" in the Nazi empire, would become a German colony administered by Heinrich Himmler's SS and police, Hermann Goring's economic plunderers, and a host of other satraps. Focusing on the Zhytomyr region and weaving together official German wartime records, diaries, memoirs, and personal interviews, Wendy Lower provides the most complete assessment available of German colonization and the Holocaust in Ukraine. Midlevel "managers," Lower demonstrates, played major roles in mass murder, and locals willingly participate...
Festive Ukrainian Cooking

Auf der Suche nach politischer Gemeinschaft
Aus der Erfahrung einer Krise der spätsozialistischen Gesellschaft heraus suchten Oppositionelle in Polen, der Tschechoslowakei und Ungarn nach neuen Konzepten politischer Ordnung und Gemeinschaft. In der Untergrundliteratur des Samizdat verbanden sie die diskursive Realität Nation mit oppositionellen Kernthemen wie Freiheit und Menschenrechte und entwickelten auf diese Weise einen eigenen Nationsbegriff. In vergleichender und transnationaler Perspektive analysiert Gregor Feindt Dynamiken und Grenzen politischen Denkens sowie Konsequenzen für das Handeln der heterogenen Opposition in Ostmitteleuropa. Indem sie außerdem die Verflechtung Oppositioneller mit dem Westen einbezieht, erweitert die Arbeit situativ die ostmitteleuropäische Perspektive.
