The Law of Nations and Natural Law 1625–1800
The Law of Nations and Natural Law 1625-1800 offers innovative studies on the development of the law of nations after the Peace of Westphalia. This period was decisive for the origin and constitution of the discipline which eventually emancipated itself from natural law and became modern international law. A specialist on the law of nations in the Swiss context and on its major figure, Emer de Vattel, Simone Zurbuchen prompted scholars to explore the law of nations in various European contexts. The volume studies little known literature related to the law of nations as an academic discipline, offers novel interpretations of classics in the field, and deconstructs ‘myths’ associated with the law of nations in the Enlightenment.
Wir sind Portius
Wir sind PORTIUS. Der Schäfer Christoph PORTIUS heiratet 1656 und wird anfangs in Löpitz ansässig und wechselt danach berufsbedingt häufig seinen Wohnort. Seine Nachkommen sind vorwiegend im Halleschen Raum anzutreffen. Mit der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung und Industriealisierung gehen aber auch einzelne Familien-Linien in entferntere Regionen. Die Darstellung beginnt mit dem ältesten aufgefundene Ur-Ahn und schließt all seine aufgefundenen Nachkommen unter Beachtung des Datenschutzes ein. Sofern möglich, werden Angaben zum Probanten, weitere Hinweise zum Ehepartner, zum Lebensort, zu den Eltern und zu den Kindern gegeben. Die Darstellung erfolgt in drei Generationsebenen, so dass für den zur Familie interessierten Leser die Möglichkeit besteht, eine beachtliche Hilfe bei der eigenen Ahnenermittlung zu erhalten. Die gegebenen Quellenhinweise werden dabei eine enorme Hilfe darstellen, den Spuren der Familienlinie zu folgen.
A Magnificent Faith
The first comprehensive history of the Reformation origins and flourishing of Lutheran baroque; while the Protestant reform movements are generally associated with iconoclasm, this book studies art, religion, and politics to show that in Lutheran Germany a rich visual culture developed, despite theologians' ambivalent attitude towards images.
The Nazification of an Academic Discipline
Contributors examine the establishment of folklore departments at German and Austrian universities during the National Socialist era; the perversion of the discipline for political ends by the government; and the attempt to establish a pan-German Reich Institute as an instrument of a fascist ideology.

Germany's Foreign Policy of Reconciliation
Since World War II, Germany has confronted its own history to earn acceptance in the family of nations. Lily Gardner Feldman draws on the literature of religion, philosophy, social psychology, law and political science, and history to understand Germany's foreign policy with its moral and pragmatic motivations and to develop the concept of international reconciliation. Germany's Foreign Policy of Reconciliation traces Germany's path from enmity to amity by focusing on the behavior of individual leaders, governments, and non-governmental actors. The book demonstrates that, at least in the cases of France, Israel, Poland, and Czechoslovakia/the Czech Republic, Germany has gone far beyond banishing war with its former enemies; it has institutionalized active friendship. The German experience is now a model of its own, offering lessons for other cases of international reconciliation. Gardner Feldman concludes with an initial application of German reconciliation insights to the other principal post-World War II pariah, as Japan expands its relations with China and South Korea.
