Struggles for Belonging
This book recounts the history of citizenship in 20th century Europe, focussing on six countries: Great Britain, France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Russia. It is the history of a central legal institution that significantly represents and at the same time determines struggles over migration, integration, and belonging.
Fluid-Structure Interaction
This volume in the series Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering presents a collection of papers presented at the International Workshop on FSI, held in October 2005 in Hohenwart and organized by DFG's Research Unit 493 "FSI: Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization". The papers address partitioned and monolithic coupling approaches, methodical issues and applications, and discuss FSI from the mathematical, informatics, and engineering points of view.
High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering, Munich 2004
Leading-edge research groups in the field of scientific computing present their outstanding projects using the High Performance Computer in Bavaria (HLRB), Hitachi SR8000-F1, one of the top-level supercomputers for academic research in Germany. The projects address modelling and simulation in the disciplines Biosciences, Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Solid-State Physics, High-Energy Physics, Astrophysics, Geophysics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, and Computer Science. The authors describe their scientific background, their resource requirements with respect to top-level supercomputers, and their methods for efficient utilization of the costly high-performance computing power. Contributions of interdisciplinary research projects that have been supported by the Competence Network for Scientific High Performance Computing in Bavaria (KONWIHR) complete the broad range of supercomputer research and applications covered by this volume.
High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering, Garching 2004
This volume of High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering is fully dedicated to the final report of KONWIHR, the Bavarian Competence Network for Technical and Scientific High Performance Computing. It includes the transactions of the final KONWIHR workshop, that was held at Technische Universität München, October 14-15, 2004, as well as additional reports of KONWIHR research groups. KONWIHR was established by the Bavarian State Government in order to support the broad application of high performance computing in science and technology throughout the country. KONWIHR is a supporting action to the installation of the German supercomputer Hitachi SR 8000 in the Leibniz Computing Center of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences. The report covers projects from basic research in computer science to develop tools for high performance computing as well as applications from biology, chemistry, electrical engineering, geology, mathematics, physics, computational fluid dynamics, materials science and computer science.
International Encyclopedia of Civil Society
Recently the topic of civil society has generated a wave of interest, and a wealth of new information. Until now no publication has attempted to organize and consolidate this knowledge. The International Encyclopedia of Civil Society fills this gap, establishing a common set of understandings and terminology, and an analytical starting point for future research. Global in scope and authoritative in content, the Encyclopedia offers succinct summaries of core concepts and theories; definitions of terms; biographical entries on important figures and organizational profiles. In addition, it serves as a reliable and up-to-date guide to additional sources of information. In sum, the Encyclopedia provides an overview of the contours of civil society, social capital, philanthropy and nonprofits across cultures and historical periods. For researchers in nonprofit and civil society studies, political science, economics, management and social enterprise, this is the most systematic appraisal of a rapidly growing field.

Deutsche Freikorps
Mit der systematischen Auswertung bislang wenig beachteter Quellen zu süddeutschen Freikorps liefert der Autor erstmals ein profundes und detailliertes Sozialprofil dieser Einheiten, die so entscheidend die Gewalt des Nachkrieges und damit die Geschichte der Weimarer Republik geprägt haben. Die umfangreichen sozialhistorischen Daten ermöglichen eine Überprüfung gängiger und lange Zeit tradierter Forschungsthesen zu Herkunft, Motivation und Radikalisierung der Paramilitärs sowie eine Analyse personeller Kontinuitäten hin zu NSDAP, SA und SS und damit einen Blick auf die Bedeutung der Freikorps für die Genese der maßgeblichen NS-Herrschaftsorganisationen. Dieser Beitrag zur Frühgeschichte der Weimarer Republik wie auch zur Geschichte des Nationalsozialismus zeigt, dass alte Gewissheiten, die nicht selten einer ideologischen Geschichtsschreibung oder der Selbsthistorisierung ehemaliger Freikorpskämpfer entstammen, deutlicher Korrekturen bedürfen.
Stadtplanung für die Welt?
Grenzübergreifende Expertennetzwerke fungierten im 20. Jahrhundert als Foren für die Entwicklung wissenschaftsbasierter Ordnungskonzepte, mit denen gesellschaftliche Probleme planerisch gelöst werden sollten. Dennoch besaßen diese Zusammenschlüsse keine Sanktionsmittel für die Durchsetzung ihrer Ideen. Außerdem waren sie anfällig für fachliche und politische Konflikte. Doch wie konnten Expertennetzwerke trotz dieser Spannungen als grenzüberschreitende Foren funktionieren? Welchen Beitrag lieferten sie außerdem für die Verbreitung und Durchsetzung szientistischer Ordnungskonzepte? Die Studie untersucht diese Fragen anhand der International Federation for Housing and Town Planning ...
