50 Jahre Institut für Zeitgeschichte
Mit der Festschrift bilanziert das Institut für Zeitgeschichte seine Forschungstätigkeit in den vergangenen 50 Jahren.

Die Festschrift enthält Beiträge von Institutsmitarbeitern und anderen Autoren. Das Institut und seine Abteilungen sowie seine Außenstellen werden vorgestellt und die einzelnen Forschungsprojekte gewürdigt; Institutschronik, Personalienverzeic...
60 Jahre Institut für Zeitgeschichte München - Berlin
Unter den zeitgeschichtlichen Forschungsinstitutionen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland nimmt das Institut für Zeitgeschichte einen singulären Platz ein. Seit 1949 leistet es einen zentralen Beitrag zur Erforschung der Demokratien und Diktaturen im 20. Jahrhundert. Hierzu dienen wissenschaftliche Projekte und Publikationen, Archiv und eine der großen zeitgeschichtlichen Bibliotheken, Politikberatung und politische Bildungsarbeit: Sie wird vor allem durch die Dokumentation Obersalzberg geleistet. Diese Festgabe enthält einen knappen Abriss der Geschichte des Instituts, sie bilanziert die Forschungsleistung (Bibliographie aller Institutsveröffentlichungen) und sie listet die Personen auf, die als Wissenschaftler oder Gremienmitglieder fungieren oder fungiert haben.
Authoritarian Regimes in the Long Twentieth Century
This special issue of the journal "zeitgeschichte" presents the results of the doctoral theses written within the framework of the "Doctoral College European Historical Dictatorship and Transformation Research" (2009–2012) as selected scholarly essays. The contributions are devoted to authoritarian regimes of the 20th century in Austria, Belarus, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, and the Soviet Union. Using various methods from the humanities and social sciences, diff erent aspects of mainly "small" dictatorships are examined: conditions of emergence, structures, continuities, as well as preceding and subsequent processes of political and social t...
The Memory of Guilt Revisited
The collapse of the communist states is regarded as the starting point of the new Europe. With this turning point, historical narratives have had to be rewritten in the post-socialist countries. Focusing on the little known case of Slovenia, this issue of zeitgeschichte offers a comprehensive survey of the transformations affecting collective memory and the writing of history in one post-communist country. The essays analyze the ways in which Slovenian society has grappled with traumatic historical events and thus give insight into the ongoing struggle over the interpretation of Slovenia's past. Given the proliferating illiberal tendencies in the political culture of numerous European countries, the strategies of historical revisionism described in this issue are likely to be of considerable interest not only to scholars interested specifically in the case of Slovenia.
Migrants and Refugees from the 1960s until Today
One of the oldest phenomena in the history of mankind is migration, whether peaceful or violent, voluntary or forced, barely noticeable outfl ow or mass movements. In the 19th century, regional migration to frontier territories, as for example in the Russian Empire or the United States of America, was a natural object of research. In the 1960s there was renewed interest in migration history in Western Europe due to the increase of immigration. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the so-called Eastern Bloc, the history of borders came again into focus, leading to a new generation in migration history. This development was reinforced by the "summer of migration" of 2015. The history of migration to Austria, especially during the Second Republic, has long been a topic overlooked by historians, but received increased attention since the 1980s. The present volume presents research currently being done on the history of migration to or through Austria.
Fuel and Power
This is a very timely study of Russia's development into a global energy power from the Russian Revolution to the present day. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Russia emerged not only as a key producer but also as one of the world's leading exporters of oil. Russia's transformation into a modern global power was connected to its ability to make use of its vast natural resources and produce energy in increasing quantities. While the development of Russia's energy industry went hand in hand with a profound socio-political and economic transformation, the book also tells the story of international cooperation and competition, transnational exchanges, and transborder interdependencies. Through energy exports, Russia shaped global energy flows and connections; at the same time, the growth of international trade impacted the views and decisions of Russian leaders, affecting the fabric of the country's foreign relations and, ultimately, the course of Russian history.
Working Towards the Führer
Covering issues such as the legacy of the World Wars, the female voter, propaganda, occupied lands, the judiciary, public opinion and resistance, this volume furthers the debate on how Nazi Germany operated. Gone are the post-war stereotypes--instead there is a more complex picture of the regime and its actions, one that shows the instability of the dictatorship, its dependence on a measure of consent as well as coercion.
German Scholars and Ethnic Cleansing, 1919-1945
An analysis of the historical, geographic, ethnographical & ethno-political ideas behind the ethnic clenasing & looting of cultural treasures that hallmarked the Third Reich, this collection describes key figures amongst the German intelligentsia who supported the Nazi regime.
International Handbook of Violence Research
An international manual is like a world cruise: a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All the more reason to consider carefully whether it is necessary. This can hardly be the case if previous research in the selected field has already been the subject of an earlier review-or even several competing surveys. On the other hand, more thorough study is necessary if the intensity and scope of research are increasing without comprehensive assessments. That was the situation in Western societies when work began on this project in the summer of 1998. It was then, too, that the challenges emerged: any manual, espe cially an international one, is a very special type of text, which is anything but routine. ...
