Political Consumerism
Political Consumerism captures the creative ways in which consumers and citizens turn to the market as their arena for politics. This book theorizes, describes, analyzes, compares, and evaluates how political consumers target corporations to solve globalized problems. It demonstrates the reconfiguration of civic engagement, political participation, and citizenship.

The Oxford Handbook of Social Movements
The Handbook presents a most updated and comprehensive exploration of social movement research. It not only maps, but also expands the field of social movement studies, taking stock of recent developments in cognate areas of studies, within and beyond sociology and political science. While structured around traditional social movement concepts, each section combines the mapping of the state of the art with attempts to broaden our knowledge of social movements beyond classic theoretical agendas, and to identify the contribution that social movement studies can give to other fields of knowledge.

Wirtschaftsgeschichte als Kulturgeschichte
Wirtschaftsbeziehungen sind Tauschbeziehungen und beruhen auf kulturell geprägten Regeln, die durch Werte oder Emotionen Verbindlichkeit gewinnen - etwa dadurch, dass die Partner sich vertrauen. Umso erstaunlicher, dass Wirtschafts- und Kulturgeschichte einander kaum zur Kenntnis nehmen. In diesem Band werden klassische Themen der Wirtschaftsgeschichte aus kulturgeschichtlicher Perspektive behandelt. Die Autorinnen und Autoren gehen davon aus, dass die Wirtschaft (von ökonomischen Theorien bis hin zur Managementkultur) von der Kultur beeinflusst wird. Zugleich wirkt die Ökonomie bis in das Alltagsleben der Menschen hinein. Die Ergebnisse des Bandes reichen von der Erkenntnis, wie wichtig etwa Vertrauen in der Wirtschaft ist, bis zur Entdeckung nationaler bzw. religiöser "Wirtschaftskulturen" und spezifischer Ausprägungen der Konsumgesellschaft. Beiträge u. a. von Christoph Conrad, Sebastian Conrad, Georg Elwert, Friedrich Wilhelm Graf, Martina Heßler, Dirk van Laak, Birger Priddat, Jakob Tanner, Adam Tooze, Frank Trentmann und Thomas Welskopp.
