Failings of the International Court of Justice
The International Court of Justice is the principal forum for countries seeking to resolve legal disputes with one another. Failings of the International Court of Justice argues that ICJ decisions - although treated with great respect by international lawyers - are often wrong and do not merit the deference they receive. In this book, A. Mark Weisburd explains the legal basis for the Court's work, and explores the cases where legal errors are prevalent.
Historical Communities
Historical Communities reveals the importance of urban history writing in early modern France, from the 1560s to the 1660s, both for individual towns and the French kingdom. Grounded in published and manuscript works, archival sources, correspondence, and research notes, the book demonstrates how historical traditions mattered to city inhabitants and how local elites combined historical narratives with social and political objectives. Numerous conflicts emerged, including debates regarding city origins, the early French Church, noble genealogies, and the memory of the French Wars of Religion. Simultaneously, provincial scholars maintained active contacts within the Republic of Letters, grounding local research and writing in developing erudite methodologies and making them integral to the ongoing process of forging a French historical identity.
The Flight of Icarus
Exploring autobiographical texts written by European urban craftsmen from the 15th to the 18th centuries, this book studies memoirs, diaries, family chronicles, travel narratives, and other forms of personal writings from Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and England. In the process, it reveals the significance of written self-expression in early modern popular culture.
Anatomy of a Crusade, 1213-1221
James M. Powell here offers a new interpretation of the Fifth Crusade's historical and social impact, and a richly rewarding view of life in the thirteenth century. Powell addresses such questions as the degree of popular interest in the crusades, the religious climate of the period, the social structure of the membership of the crusade, and the effects of the recruitment effort on the outcome.
Räume der Stadt
Lyon, das an Rhône und Saône gelegene Handelszentrum, ist heute die drittgrößte Stadt Frankreichs. Deren Geschichte schreibt Susanne Rau aus einer konsequent räumlichen Perspektive. Neben einer Einführung in die aktuelle Stadtgeschichtsforschung bietet das Buch eine umfassende Bibliografie zur Stadtgeschichte Lyons und Anregungen für Spurensuche in Archiven. Auf der Basis zentraler Quellenbestände erzählt es die Geschichte einer wichtigen Metropole der Neuzeit als einen spannungsreichen Prozess von Veränderung und Verstetigung, in der die Stadt als etwas gesellschaftlich Geschaffenes begriffen wird. Zugleich liegt eine Studie zu der Frage vor, die uns auch heute noch beschäftigt: die nach der Räumlichkeit von Kultur in einer zunehmend globalisierten Gesellschaft. Dieses Buch wurde ausgezeichnet mit dem Wiener Preis für Stadtgeschichtsforschung 2015.
