Trans-Atlantic Relations in a Postmodern World
The fall of the Berlin Wall was a pivotal moment deeply impacting the post-World War II order, with American nuclear might standing sentinel for the preservation of the liberal democratic values of the trans-Atlantic community. The end of the ideological struggle freed the forces shaping the postmodern world. The end of the security trade-off, American nuclear protection against critical but loyal European support, meant that a new partnership based on equality, mutual respect, and legitimate self-interest was needed and that stability and peace on the Eurasian landmass was the overriding goal. Neither the United States nor Europe, the two constituent communities of the Western world, graspe...

Nationalism and Popular Culture
How do nations come to shape our collective imagination so profoundly? This book argues that the power of national identity and national belonging stems, in part, from the ways in which nationalism is embedded in popular culture. Comprised of chapters covering a wide range of cases from both the Global North and Global South (including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Europe, Israel, Pakistan, and the United States), the text unpacks the connections between nationalism and film, television, music, and other facets of everyday culture. In doing so, it demonstrates that popular culture can help us understand why and how nationhood has become so deeply entrenched in modern society. This book will be of interest to scholars of political science, nationalism, sociology, history, media studies, and cultural studies.
Pokračovatel rodu
Rodinná kronika oceněná prestižní cenou Libris v kategorii nejlepší historická kniha roku 2015 líčí strhujícím způsobem historii tří generací Münninghoffů, která se klene přes druhou půli dvacátého století. Bizarní cesty příslušníků této nizozemsko-ruské rodiny vedou z luxusní vily v Lotyšsku do vyhnanství v Haagu, z východní fronty do barabizny v Brabantu, od bohatství k úpadku a někdy zase zpět. Na pozadí velkých evropských dějin se odehrává rodinné drama, jež je plodem dějinných zvratů zmítajících Evropou.
Holding Patterns: Air Transport and Foreign Policy in the Netherlands
Although air transport is indispensable to modern society, we know little about the diplomatic efforts that establish airline services. Nonetheless, aviation features prominently in the spectrum of international relations: in conflicts between states, for example, the suspension of landing rights is one of the first acts to symbolize serious discord. In tracing the unique cooperation between government and industry, this historical study underscores aviation as a prominent, but understudied topic in Dutch foreign relations.

Der Stammhalter
Der findige Großvater mit seiner Firma, ein lebenshungriger Sohn und ein Enkel, der Stammhalter, der entführt werden muss: Zwischen diesen drei Generationen entspinnt sich die wahre Geschichte vom Niedergang einer Familie im 20. Jahrhundert, nicht durch den Krieg, der gut für die Geschäfte ist, sondern weil jeder für den anderen «nur das Beste» will. Alexander Münninghoff hat aus den vielschichtigen Beziehungen einer Familie, aus der versunkenen Welt zwischen Riga und Den Haag, einen zauberhaften, bewegenden Roman geschaffen. Der niederländische Kaufmann Joannes Münninghoff führt im baltischen Riga an der Seite seiner schönen russischen Gattin Erica ein mondänes Leben. Allmähli...
