Exploring Betty A. Reardon’s Perspective on Peace Education
This book presents commentaries by a leading international group of peace education scholars and practitioners concerning Reardon’s peace education theory and intellectual legacy. The guiding question throughout the book is: How can her foundational work be used to advance the theory and practice of peace education? In an attempt to find answers, the contributing authors explore three general areas of inquiry: (1) Theoretical Foundations of Peace and Human Rights Education; (2) Feminism and the Gender Perspective as Pathways of Transformation Toward Peace and Justice; and (3) Peace Education Pedagogy and Practices. A contemplative commentary by Reardon herself rounds out the coverage
Historical Justice in International Perspective
This book makes a valuable contribution to debates on redress for historical injustices by offering case studies from nine countries on five continents. The contributors examine the problems of material restitution, criminal justice, apologies, recognition, memory and reconciliation in national contexts as well as from a comparative perspective. Among the topics discussed are the claims for reparations for slavery in the United States, West German restitution for the Holocaust, the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the efforts to prosecute the perpetrators of the Khmer Rouge's mass murders in Cambodia and the struggles of the indigenous people of Australia and New Zealand. The book highlights the diversity of the ways societies have tried to right past wrongs as the demand for historical justice has become universal.
Refugees and Migrants in Law and Policy
Refugees and migration are not a new story in the history of humankind, but in the last few years, against a backdrop of huge numbers of migrants, especially from war-torn countries, they have again been a topic of intensive and contentious discussion in politics, the media and scientific publications. Two United Nations framework declarations on the sustainable development goals and on refugees and migrants adopted in 2016 have prompted the editors – who have a background in international criminology – to invite 60 contributors from different countries to contribute their expertise on civic education aspects of the refugee and migrant crisis in the Global North and South. Comprising 35 ...
Remembering Asia's World War Two
Over the past four decades, East and Southeast Asia have seen a proliferation of heritage sites and remembrance practices which commemorate the region’s bloody conflicts of the period 1931–45. Remembering Asia’s World War Two examines the origins, dynamics, and repercussions of this regional war “memory boom”. The book analyzes the politics of war commemoration in contemporary East and Southeast Asia. Featuring contributions from leading international scholars, the chapters span China, Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Singapore, covering topics such as the commemoration of the Japanese military’s “comfort women” system, forms of "dark tourism" or commemorative pilgrimages (e.g...
Sowjetische Militärtribunale
Mit der Besetzung Ostdeutschlands 1945 exportierte die Sowjetunion unter Stalin auch ihr Justizsystem nach Deutschland. Etwa 55.000 Zivilisten wurden zwischen 1945 und 1955 in der SBZ/DDR von sowjetischen Tribunalen wegen Staats-, Kriegs- und Alltagsverbrechen zu hohen Strafen verurteilt, über eintausend hingerichtet. Der Zugang zu den sowjetischen Akten dieser Prozesse war bis in die 1990er Jahre hinein versperrt, Tätigkeit und Motive der sowjetischen Richter blieben im Dunkeln. In diesem 2. Band werden die Prozesse und die Urteile erstmals auf breiter Quellengrundlage aus historischer und juristischer Sicht untersucht. Die Beiträge russischer und deutscher Autoren belegen, dass die UdSSR von Beginn an nicht nur der Bestrafung von nationalsozialistischen Kriegs- und Gewaltverbrechen, sondern auch der repressiven Absicherung ihrer Besatzungspolitik grosse Bedeutung beimass.
Prisoners of War and Local Women in Europe and the United States, 1914-1956
This book brings together historians from Great Britain, the United States, Germany, France, Canada, Austria, and Latvia who have worked and published on fraternisation between Prisoners of War and local women during either the First or Second World War, providing the first comparative study of this multi-faceted phenomenon in different belligerent countries. By focusing on prisoners as wartime migrants and studying the nature and impact of their interactions with the local female population, this book expands the existing framework on prisoner of war studies. Its substantial scope and comparative approach make it an important point of reference in the growing research field of POW studies.
