Věda a politika
Kniha představuje unikátní síť německých společenskovědních a humanitních ústavů v zahraničí, jak se utvářela a vyvíjela od osmdesátých let 19. století do poslední zásadní reformy v roce 2009. Předmětem zájmu je patnáct pracovišť působících v Evropě, USA nebo Asii, která provádějí výzkum především v oboru historie, ale i dějin umění, archeologie, ekonomie či orientalistiky. Analýza se soustředí jak na vývoj, publikační produkci a vůdčí osobnosti jednotlivých ústavů, tak na jejich kooperaci s vědci a institucemi hostitelských zemí. Badatelská pracoviště jsou zároveň sledována z perspektivy německé zahraniční kulturní politiky, v níž hrají sice nenápadnou, ale trvale velmi významnou roli.
Soudobé dějiny v pohybu
Rakouský výzkum dějin 20. století (Zeitgeschichte in Bewegung. Die österreichische Erforschung des 20. Jahrhunderts) popisuje vývoj a situaci rakouské historiografie soudobých dějin a klade si za cíl nabídnut širšímu okruhu zájemců vhled do rakouské „krajiny“ výzkumu zejména dějin nacistického a poválečného období. Jiří Pešek stručně načrtl kontury vývoje oboru. Následující dvě studie (Hanns Haas a Maria Mesner) věnují pozornost relativně novým tematickým polím výzkumu: regionálním soudobým dějinám a historiografii žen. Druhou část publikace tvoří tři interview s výraznými, přitom zaměřením badatelských zájmů odlišnými – vídeňskými – protagonisty oboru (Gerhard Botz, Gernot Heiss, Oliver Rathkolb).

Liberalism, Nationalism and Design Reform in the Habsburg Empire
Liberalism, Nationalism and Design Reform in the Habsburg Empire is a study of museums of design and applied arts in Austria-Hungary from 1864 to 1914. The Museum for Art and Industry (now the Museum of Applied Arts) as well as its design school occupies a prominent place in the study. The book also gives equal attention to museums of design and applied arts in cities elsewhere in the Empire, such as Budapest Prague, Cracow, Brno and Zagreb. The book is shaped by two broad concerns: the role of liberalism as a political, cultural and economic ideology motivating the museums’ foundation, and their engagement with the politics of imperial, national and regional identity of the late Habsburg Empire. This book will be of interest for scholars of art history, museum studies, design history, and European history.

Healthcare Access
Adequate healthcare access not only requires the availability of comprehensive healthcare facilities but also affordability and knowledge of the availability of these services. As an extended responsibility, healthcare providers can create mechanisms to facilitate subjective decision-making in accessing the right kind of healthcare services as well various options to support financial needs to bear healthcare-related expenses while seeking health and fulfilling the healthcare needs of the population. This volume brings together experiences and opinions from global leaders to develop affordable, sustainable, and uniformly available options to access healthcare services.
Political Opposition in Theory and Central European Practice
This book offers interpretations of different forms of political opposition in political theory and also in the contemporary development of politics and government in Central Europe. The problem is analyzed through a comparative approach. The first part of the book targets the question of definitions and typologies of political opposition, above all, in democratic, but partly also in non-democratic regimes. The second part deals with the question of models of political opposition in Central Europe after the fall of communism in the late twentieth century and in the present.
Imagining Bosnian Muslims in Central Europe
As a Slavic-speaking religious and ethnic “Other” living just a stone’s throw from the symbolic heart of the continent, the Muslims of Bosnia and Herzegovina have long occupied a liminal space in the European imagination. To a significant degree, the wider representations and perceptions of this population can be traced to the reports of Central European—and especially Habsburg—diplomats, scholars, journalists, tourists, and other observers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This volume assembles contributions from historians, anthropologists, political scientists, and literary scholars to examine the political, social, and discursive dimensions of Bosnian Muslims’ encounters with the West since the nineteenth century.
