Storytelling With Data
This book shows the role data plays in communication and marketing and how it can be used as an important source for storytelling. Because data, as a raw material of the digital age, inspires corporate strategy. Provided it is collected, interpreted and processed properly, it provides new and sometimes surprising insights into contexts and offers the opportunity to develop exciting stories from it. Stories that also create relevance with regard to corporate goals, spark dialogues and make communication effective. The author explains in an easy-to-understand way how data-based communication strategies can be turned into gripping stories. He also provides useful tools and shows why data can lie, how important its visual processing is, where its use meets ethical limits and why data protection is also a business opportunity. Using practical examples, the book offers marketing and communication experts - but also interested managers from other disciplines - numerous inspirations and new perspectives.
Culture and International History
Combining the perspectives of 18 international scholars from Europe and the United States with a critical discussion of the role of culture in international relations, this volume introduces recent trends in the study of Culture and International History. It systematically explores the cultural dimension of international history, mapping existing approaches and conceptual lenses for the study of cultural factors and thus hopes to sharpen the awareness for the cultural approach to international history among both American and non-American scholars. The first part provides a methodological introduction, explores the cultural underpinnings of foreign policy, and the role of culture in internati...
The Conservative Human Rights Revolution
The Conservative Human Rights Revolution reconsiders the origins of the European human rights system, arguing that its conservative inventors, foremost among them Winston Churchill, conceived of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) as a means of realizing a controversial political agenda and advancing a Christian vision of European identity.
The Lure of Fascism in Western Europe
This book breaks new ground by analyzing the reciprocal relationship between a fascism that had reached the power phase (Nazi Germany) and fascist movements in two neighbouring countries which were attempting to come to power in their respective societies.
RSHA Reich Security Main Office
During the Nazi regime in Germany, all police forces were centralised under the command of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler. The political police (Gestapo), the criminal police (Kripo), and the security service (SD) were all brought together under the RSHA umbrella in 1939, commanded by SS-General Reinhard Heydrich. Using RSHA in Berlin as the centre, the web of Heydrich’s control extended into every corner of Nazi-occupied Europe. British and American intelligence agencies tried to get to grips with RSHA departments at the end of the war, knowing who was who and what they did, relying on what captured RSHA personnel told them along with intercepted documentation. To provide Allied intelligence officers in the field with accurate knowledge, the Counter Intelligence War Room (CIWR) was established to provide this information and list further Gestapo, Kripo, SD, and Abwehr officials to be arrested and interrogated. The informative CIWR reports used here give a precise examination of the RSHA by department, some detailing how Nazi jealousies and rivalries were more helpful to the Allied war effort than the Nazi cause - a portrayal of how Nazi Intelligence agencies went wrong.
The Age of Catastrophe
Characterized by global war, political revolution and national crises, the period between 1914 and 1945 was one of the most horrifying eras in the history of the West. A noted scholar of modern German history, Heinrich August Winkler examines how and why Germany so radically broke with the normative project of the West and unleashed devastation across the world. In this total history of the thirty years between the start of World War One and the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Winkler blends historical narrative with political analysis and encompasses military strategy, national identity, class conflict, economic development and cultural change. The book includes astutely observed chapters on the United States, Japan, Russia, Britain, and the other European powers, and Winkler’s distinctly European perspective offers insights beyond the accounts written by his British and American counterparts. As Germany takes its place at the helm of a unified Europe, Winkler’s fascinating account will be widely read and debated for years to come.
Neo-Tories
The danger to British democracy in the interwar period came from a different source to that which has thus far been assumed. It came from a network of radical conservatives who challenged the political system and sought to replace it with an authoritarian corporate state. In this book, Bernhard Dietz provides the first systematic analysis of this network and its members, which are called Neo-Tories. With strong links to the European right, yet a minority back home, this group of British conservatives are all the more fascinating today because it is on their ultimate failure that the success of British democracy rested.
Die Erzählgemeinschaft der Neuen Rechten
Was ist rechte Ideologie? Anknüpfend an Karl Mannheims Studie zum konservativen Denkstil zeigt Felix Schilk, dass es ein spezifisches Muster gibt, wie rechte Akteure Geschichte und Gesellschaft erzählen: Mensch und Welt sind schon immer entzweit, die dekadente Gegenwart ist ein andauernder Verfallsprozess und in der Zukunft droht die unvermeidliche Apokalypse. Ein Beispiel dafür ist die sogenannte Neue Rechte, die diese konservativen Krisennarrative für ihren Kampf um Diskursverschiebungen und kulturelle Hegemonie nutzt. Da sie ihre Identität aus der Wiederholung der immer gleichen Untergangsballaden schöpft, ist sie als Erzählgemeinschaft zu verstehen.
Geschichte des Westens
Kriege, Krisen, Katastrophen – die Jahre zwischen 1914 und 1945 erscheinen manchen Zeitgenossen wie ein zweiter dreißigjähriger Krieg. Sie sind das «deutsche Kapitel» in der Geschichte des Westens und das schrecklichste Kapitel in der Geschichte der Menschheit. Heinrich August Winkler schildert mit meisterhafter Darstellungskunst die dramatischsten Jahrzehnte des 20.Jahrhunderts – vom Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs bis zur deutschen Kapitulation im Mai 1945 und den Atombomben von Hiroshima und Nagasaki drei Monate später. «Der zweite Band dieses epischen Werkes ist eine außergewöhnliche Tour de force – ein ebenso gewaltiges wie kenntnisreiches Panorama der westlichen Welt im Zeitalter ihrer größten Katastrophe.» Ian Kershaw «Eine ineinander verwobene Politikgeschichte der europäischen Großmächte und der Vereinigten Staaten. (...) Eine Darstellung, wie man sie klüger, genauer und umfassender kaum denken kann.» Ulrich Herbert, FAZ «Heinrich August Winkler ist mit dem zweiten Band seiner ‚Geschichte des Westens’ über die Zeit von 1914 bis 1945 eine große Erzählung gelungen.» Peer Steinbrück, Der Spiegel
Swansong 1945
Swansong 1945 chronicles four significant days in the last three weeks of WWII: 20 April, Hitler's last birthday; 25 April, when American and Soviet troops first met at the Elbe; 30 April, the day Hitler committed suicide; and 8 May, the day of the German surrender. Side by side in these pages, we encounter the voices of civilians fleeing on foot to the west, British and American POWs dreaming of home, concentration camp survivors, loyal soldiers from both sides of the conflict and national leaders including Churchill, Hitler and Mussolini. A monumental account of survival, suffering, hope and despair, Swansong 1945 brings vividly to life a conflict whose repercussions are felt today.
