The Return of Religious Antisemitism?
The most violent American and European anti-Semites in the 21st century, including not only Jihadists but also white (and black) supremacist terrorist, made some reference to religion in their hatred of Jews. This is surprising. Religious antisemitism is often seen as a relic of the past. It is more associated with pre-modern societies where the role of religion was central to social and political order. However, at the end of the 19th century, animosity against Judaism gave way to nationalistic and racist motives. People, such as Wilhelm Marr, called themselves anti-Semites to distinguish themselves from those who despised Jews for religious reasons. Since then, antisemitism has gone throug...
Promised Lands North and South
This book puts two of the most significant Jewish Diaspora communities outside of the U.S. into conversation with one another. At times contributor-pairs directly compare unique aspects of two Jewish histories, politics, or cultures. At other times, they juxtapose. Some chapters focus on literature, poetry, theatre, or sport; others on immigration, antisemitism, or health. Taken together, the essays in Promised Lands North and South offer sparkling insight and new depth on the modern Jewish global experience.

Crimea Going East - A Clash of Great Power Strategies
This article recounts the economical, political, military events that led to the current crisis in Ukraine. It analyzes the main moral, legal and historical arguments that were put forward by Russia and the West in defense or condemnation of their actions in Ukraine, especially with regard to the secession of Crimea - which was either called an (illegal) annexation or an (legal) incorporation. A strategic outlook assesses the long-term effects this crisis will have on Moscow's political and economic integration concept in Eurasia aimed at countervailing US “hegemony” and on the relations between East and West.
Über Grenzen hinweg
Terroristische Netzwerke operieren global, »foreign fighters« schließen sich dem »Islamischen Staat« an und kehren teilweise wieder in ihre westlichen Ursprungsländer zurück. Anhand von Fallstudien aus der Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts bietet dieses Buch eine theoriegestützte Annäherung an das Phänomen grenzüberschreitender politischer Gewalt, wobei es erstmals überhaupt den Aspekt der Transnationalität selbst ins Zentrum rückt. Was sind die Ursachen und Triebkräfte von Transnationalisierungsprozessen? Wie beeinflusst Transnationalität die Akteure, Formen und Ausübung von politischer Gewalt? Und mit welchen Methoden können Historiker transnationale Strukturen und Prozesse untersuchen?
Terrorism in the Cold War
Accounts of the relationships between states and terrorist organizations in the Cold War era have long been shaped by speculation, a lack of primary sources and even conspiracy theories. In the last few years, however, things have evolved rapidly. Using a wide range of case studies including the British State and Loyalist Paramilitaries in Northern Ireland, as well as the United States and Nicaragua, this book sheds new light on the relations between state and terrorist actors, allowing for a fresh and much more insightful assessment of the contacts, dealings, agreements and collusion with terrorist organizations undertaken by state actors on both sides of the Iron Curtain. This book presents the current state of research and provides an assessment of the nature, motives, effects, and major historical shifts of the relations between individual states and terrorist organizations. The articles collected demonstrate that these state-terrorism relationships were not only much more ambiguous than much of the older literature had suggested but are, in fact, crucial for the understanding of global political history in the Cold War era.
Il conflitto senza fine
Il 7 ottobre 2023 un'operazione del Movimento della Resistenza islamica, meglio conosciuto con il suo acronimo arabo «Hamas», insanguina il territorio israeliano. È un attacco senza precedenti, per la violenza con la quale viene condotto, ma anche per il numero di vittime provocate e di ostaggi catturati. Ed è la miccia che fa deflagrare un conflitto mai sopito. La risposta israeliana, infatti, basata su una massiccia offensiva militare, non tarda ad arrivare: la Striscia di Gaza viene pesantemente bombardata e, dopo poche settimane, attaccata via terra con l'obiettivo di estirpare una volta per tutte Hamas. Oltre ad aver suscitato un inevitabile e fortissimo impatto emotivo, questi dram...
