Technology Transfer out of Germany after 1945
Technology Transfer Out of Germany studies the movement of technology and scientists between East Germany and the Soviet Union, and West Germany and the Western Allies, using documented examples and case studies, and asks whether the confiscation of documents, equipment and scientists can really be considered to be a form of 'intellectual reparation.'
The Rhine
The Rhine River is Europe’s most important commercial waterway, channeling the flow of trade among Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. In this innovative study, Mark Cioc focuses on the river from the moment when the Congress of Vienna established a multinational commission charged with making the river more efficient for purposes of trade and commerce in 1815. He examines the engineering and administrative decisions of the next century and a half that resulted in rapid industrial growth as well as profound environmental degradation, and highlights the partially successful restoration efforts undertaken from the 1970s to the present. The Rhine is a classic example of a “mu...
Enhancing intercultural competence in police organizations
Police practice urgently requires to be changed to meet the needs of a modern multicultural society, and to open up to the perspective of diversity. This book provides an overview about the state of key issues in intercultural police research, and challenges much of the accepted thinking on this controversial topic.
Reconsidering Europeanization
This pertinent and highly original volume explores how ideas of Europe and processes of continental political, socio-economic, and cultural integration have been intertwined since the nineteenth century. Applying a wider definition of Europeanization in the sense of "becoming European", it will pay equal attention to counter-processes of disentanglement and disintegration that have accompanied, slowed down, or displaced such trends and developments. By focusing on the practices, agents, and experience of Europeanization, the volume strives to bring together the history of ideas and the history of human actions and conduct, two approaches that are usually treated separately in the field of European studies.
Weimar Cities
Weimar Cities explores Germany's efforts to come to grips with its great cities after World War I; by extension the book measures the feasibility of the postwar experiment that was the Weimar Republic. The book focuses particularly on the weakness, both local and national, that resulted from the disjunct between the cities’ perceived and actual power.
Regionalism and Modern Europe
Providing a valuable overview of regionalism throughout the entire continent, Regionalism in Modern Europe combines both geographical and thematic approaches to examine the origins and development of regional movements and identities in Europe from 1890 to the present. A wide range of internationally renowned scholars from the USA, the UK and mainland Europe are brought together here in one volume to examine the historical roots of the current regional movements, and to explain why some of them - Scotland, Catalonia and Flanders, among others – evolve into nationalist movements and even strive for independence, while others – Brittany, Bavaria – do not. They look at how regional identi...

Die Aushandlung von Raum
Ab Mitte der 1960er Jahre wurden für die Kommunen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland die Weichen für ihre weitere Entwicklung gestellt. Nur die als »zentrale Orte« eingestuften Gemeinden hatten eine Chance, sich weiterzuentwickeln. Doch nicht alle Kommunen waren damit einverstanden, was das jeweilige Bundesland und Raumplaner für ihre Zukunft vorgesehen hatten. Sechs kleine Gemeinden in Niedersachsen setzten sich mittels eines Zusammenschlusses zur Wehr. Mit der Gründung der Stadt Georgsmarienhütte 1970 konnte ein Industriegebiet ausgewiesen und finanziert werden, das die Zukunft der Region sicherte. Dieses Buch geht dem Zusammenhang zwischen Raumordnung, Strukturpolitik und kommunaler...
