Europe Lost Her Sovereignty
CONTENT OF THE BOOK Human history does not proceed like a mechanical construct, the world is too complex for that. And yet, a certain direction and consistency in historical development become visible. Certain decisions made in 1919 by the victorious powers of the First World War led to a new order in the world. We need to know the principles of the shaping of power and domination that underpinned the decisions of that time in order to be able to classify today's events, as well as the actions of political decision-makers. This is the only way to succeed in recognizing a structure in the supposed chaos around us. We want to serve this learning from history with our book. The insights gained ...

The civilization of the modern world takes its origins in the Renaissance in Europe. A Historical reconstruction of the creation of modern Europe since the Renaissance leads to a thorough understanding of the critical and constituent elements that are characteristic of the mindset of Europe and its people. These principal elements are the growing individual consciousness and the role played by the individual in society, the specific European view on progress, and the unique European view on growth. Science and technology are the foundation and basic melody of the Western model of capitalism and life in modern Europe. In their combination, this complex of factors and forces has driven Europe ...
Peacemaking and International Order after the First World War
The Paris peace settlements following the First World War remain amongst the most controversial treaties in history. Bringing together leading international historians, this volume assesses the extent to which a new international order, combining old and new political forms, emerged from the peace negotiations and settlements after 1918. Taking account of new historiographical perspectives and methodological approaches to the study of peacemaking after the First World War, it views the peace negotiations and settlements after 1918 as a site of remarkable innovations in the practice of international politics. The contributors address how a wide range of actors set out new ways of thinking about international order, established innovative institutions, and revolutionised the conduct of international relations. They illustrate the ways in which these innovations were merged with existing practices, institutions, and concepts to shape the international order that emerged out of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919.
The German Right in the Weimar Republic
Significant recent research on the German Right between 1918 and 1933 calls into question received narratives of Weimar political history. The German Right in the Weimar Republic examines the role that the German Right played in the destabilization and overthrow of the Weimar Republic, with particular emphasis on the political and organizational history of Rightist groups as well as on the many permutations of right-wing ideology during the period. In particular, antisemitism and the so-called “Jewish Question” played a prominent role in the self-definition and politics of the right-wing groups and ideologies explored by the contributors to this volume.
The Sovereign Consumer
This book presents a new intellectual history of neoliberalism through the exploration of the sovereign consumer. Invented by neoliberal thinkers in the interwar period, this figure has been crucial to the construction and legimitization of neoliberal ideology and politics. Analysis of the sovereign consumer across time and space demonstrates how neoliberals have linked the figure both to the idea of democracy as a method of choice, and also to a re-invention of the market as the democratic forum par excellence. Moreover, Olsen contemplates how the sovereign consumer has served to marketize politics and functioned as a major driver in a wide-ranging transformation in political thinking, subjecting traditional political values to the narrow pursuit of economic growth. A politically timely project, The Sovereign Consumer will have a wide appeal in academic circles, especially for those interested in consumer and welfare studies, and in political, economic and cultural thought in the twentieth century.
