European Identity and Culture
As the EU continues its integration process, the concepts of culture and transnational European belonging remain ambivalent, whether in the realm of socio-historical representation or mass politics. Engaging with recent scholarly debates surrounding the formation of collective transnational identities, this collection draws on the latest empirical case studies to explore the meaning and composition of European identity, the mechanisms that create and shape it and the question of whom it includes. Each author pays close attention to the cultural aspects of identity formation, whether manifested in official, institutional articulations, such as symbols, coinage, ceremonies and discursive manif...
The €uro and the Dollar in a Globalized Economy
The dollar has been the dominant currency of the world economy for almost a century; since 2002, the euro has gained widespread international acceptance resulting in important institutional, economic and financial changes both for the euro zone, the United States and the world economies, affecting foreign exchange and financial markets as well as economic activities around the world. In years to come, the international role of the euro will hinge on the validity of the fundamental idea underlying its creation, namely that important components of sovereignty can be pooled and shared among nations in the pursuit of common economic and political objectives. This key book assesses the international role of the euro, discusses its impact on global financial markets, shifting global exchange rate relationships and their implications. With input from various disciplines (economics, business and political science), it foments discussions intended to facilitate an exchange of ideas among academics, practitioners and the local business community.
Whiteness and Postcolonialism in the Nordic Region
This book examines the influence of imperialism and colonialism on the formation of national identities in the Nordic countries, exploring the manner in which contemporary discourses in Nordic society are rendered meaningful or obscured by references to past events and tropes related to the practices and ideologies of colonialism. Against the background of Nordic 'exceptionalism', it explores the manner in which the interwoven racial, gendered and nationalistic ideologies associated with the colonial project form part of contemporary Nordic identities. An important challenge to national identities that can become increasingly inward looking, Whiteness and Postcolonialism in the Nordic Region...
Supranational Governance of Europe’s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice
This book examines the evolution towards increased supranational governance in the EU’s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ). At the end of 2009, a successor programme to the Tampere and Hague Programmes was developed under the Swedish Presidency. Called the ‘Stockholm Programme’, it was adopted at a special EU Council Summit on 10-11 December 2009. The new agenda covers the period 2010-2014 and emphasises six areas of priority. In the context of these priorities, as well as the innovations introduced by the Lisbon Treaty, this edited book analyses policy change in the AFSJ, especially as it has been affected by the rise of supranational governance in this domain. From police c...

Oper raus!
Gesellschaftliche Widersprüche treiben die Oper aus der Komfortzone. Ihr stehen massive strukturelle Transformationen und ästhetische Neuformatierungen ins Haus – und bisherige Gewissheiten über Werk, Raum und Repräsentation werden grundlegend auf den Prüfstand gestellt. Das vorliegende Buch spürt diesem Spannungsfeld von Struktur und Ästhetik nach, porträtiert künstlerische Positionen und zugespitzte Diskurslagen und zeigt, wie die Oper den Verhältnissen ihre eigene Melodie vorsingt: auch am Beispiel des Staatstheaters Kassel zwischen Raumbühne, Theater des Erlebnisses und spartenübergreifendem Labor des zeitgenössischen Musiktheaters. Mit künstlerischen Positionen von Paul-Georg Dittrich, Sebastian Hannak, Florentine Klepper, Lulu Obermayer, Kerstin Steeb und Beiträgen von Dietmar Dath, Ulrike Hartung, Marie-Anne Kohl, Felix Linsmeier, Teresa Martin, Kornelius Paede, Willem Strank, Tillmann Triest sowie Gesprächen mit Melanie Fritsch, Florian Lutz und Wolfgang M. Schmitt.
