One Law for All?
Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert traten weltweit Gesetzgeber mit der Absicht auf, lokale Rechtsordnungen nach westlichem Muster umzubilden. Aber welche Modelle sollten als Vorbilder dienen, da doch die rechtliche Realität bereits in Westeuropa uneinheitlich war? Zudem wurde das importierte Recht vor Ort unterschiedlich aufgenommen, umformuliert und interpretiert. Der Band untersucht das Spannungsfeld zwischen den universellen Ansprüchen verschiedener imperialer und post-imperialer Gesetzgeber und der lokalen Umsetzung und Anwendung neuer Rechtsformen, von Lateinamerika und Afrika über Russland bis nach Ostasien.
Trust
Trust, as Simmel noted, is a hypothesis regarding future behavior that is certain enough to serve as a basis for practical conduct. To trust another person (or collectivity or institution) is intermediate between knowledge and ignorance. Simmel was one of many social scientists (e.g., Tonnies, Durkheim, Parsons) who have contended that trust is one of the most important integrative forces within society. Modernization and its attendant social isolation, in the face of massive global changes, underscore the need to reexamine trust in all its multivariate and multidisciplinary character. This anthology presents twelve studies of trust. Some are conceptual, theoretical analyses, while others use historical data on societies, national surveys or cross-national comparative studies to test hypotheses.
The Charisma of World Revolution
That the idea of world revolution was crucial for the Bolshevik leaders in the years following the 1917 revolution is a well-known fact. But what did the party’s rank and file make of it? How did it resonate with the general population? And what can a social history of international solidarity tell us about the transformation of Soviet society from NEP to Stalinism? This book undertakes the first in-depth analysis of the discourses and practices of internationalism in early Soviet society during the years of revolution, civil war and NEP, using forgotten archival materials and contemporary sources.

Notting Hill Carnival
Migration und Multikulturalismus, Integration und Identität – bis heute lösen diese Themen in westlichen Gesellschaften Kontroversen aus. Die Begegnung mit dem Anderen hat in der Geschichte wiederholt vertraute Ordnungen und Vorstellungen herausgefordert. Sebastian Klöß analysiert diese Debatten am Beispiel des Notting Hill Carnivals in London. Die mehrtägige Großveranstaltung gilt als Kontaktzone, in der Afrokariben und Briten ihre eigene Identität und die Abgrenzung zum Anderen konflikthaft aushandeln. Die Analyse des multikulturellen Festes leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Verständnis von Migrations- und Integrationsprozessen.
