Czechs, Germans, Jews?
The phenomenon of national identities, always a key issue in the modern history of Bohemian Jewry, was particularly complex because of the marginal differences that existed between the available choices. Considerable overlap was evident in the programs of the various national movements and it was possible to change one's national identity or even to opt for more than one such identity without necessarily experiencing any far-reaching consequences in everyday life. Based on many hitherto unknown archival sources from the Czech Republic, Israel and Austria, the author's research reveals the inner dynamic of each of the national movements and maps out the three most important constructions of national identity within Bohemian Jewry - the German-Jewish, the Czech-Jewish and the Zionist. This book provides a needed framework for understanding the rich history of German- and Czech-Jewish politics and culture in Bohemia and is a notable contribution to the historiography of Bohemian, Czechoslovak and central European Jewry.
Urban Mobility in a Global Perspective
For the first time in human history, the majority of the world's population is now no longer living in rural areas, but in cities. Whereas in the industrialised countries urban and transport development has now reached a certain degree of saturation, it is proceeding in other regions of the world with an enormous dynamism. The primary concern of this study is to present for the first time a survey of global urban and transport development in order to gain an overview of the magnitude of the global challenges. Against this background, the study concludes by proposing a direction for future deliberations, in the name of determining an adequate response to the looming problems. Oliver Schwedes has the professorship in Integrated Transport Planning at the Technische Universität Berlin in Germany. His research areas include urban and transport policy and planning.

Leben in Dörfern
Die Frage nach der „Zukunft ländlicher Räume“ erfährt angesichts tief greifender sozialer, ökonomischer und raumstruktureller Veränderungsprozesse zunehmend Bedeutung. Das vorliegende Buch greift diese Frage auf und fokussiert Möglichkeiten einer vermittlungstheoretischen, sozial-ökologischen Konzeptualisierung von Raum. Den Kern der Arbeit bildet eine empirische Dorfstudie. Vor dem Hintergrund eines immer stärker in Auflösung begriffenen Gegensatzverhältnisses von Stadt und Land in der tradierten räumlichen Funktionstrennung und Komplementarität wird deutlich, dass insbesondere hybride Räume Potenziale aufweisen und umgekehrt: die Eigeninitiative und Gestaltungsmacht der Akteurinnen findet in solchen Räumen Ausdruck und wird gestärkt.
