Machiavellian Encounters in Tudor and Stuart England
Taking into consideration the political and literary issues hanging upon the circulation of Machiavelli's works in England, this volume highlights how topics and ideas stemming from Machiavelli's books - including but not limited to the Prince - strongly influenced the contemporary political debate.

In section two, different features of Machiavelli's reading in Tudor literary and political culture are discussed, moving well beyond the traditional image of the tyrant or of the evil Machiavel. Machiavelli's histo...

Models of Religious Freedom
In this thesis, the US, Swiss, and Syrian models of religious freedom are illustrated in legal settings. The Analytical Representation comprises more than statements of positive law or mechanical comparison. Each chapter is introduced by thought-forms predominant in the respective legal culture. The objective of the Methodological Representation is to investigate the logic and legitimate pattern by which the US and Swiss judiciary come to the conclusion that an alleged interference is covered under the right to religious freedom. The last dimension, which is the Eclectic Representation, pursues a dual aim. Firstly, the idea is to develop an actual guideline of religious freedom rules, and secondly, to evaluate how much religious freedom is internalized in the US, Swiss, and Syrian legal systems.

Scandinavia and the Great Powers in the First World War
This study is among the first works in English to comprehensively address the Scandinavian First World War experience in the larger international context of the war. It surveys the complex relationship between the belligerent great powers and Northern Europe's neutral small states in times of crisis and war. The book's overreaching rationale draws upon three underlying conceptual fields: neutrality and international law, hegemony and great power politics as well as diplomacy and policy-making of small states in the international arena. From a variety of angles, it examines the question of how neutrality was understood and perceived, negotiated and dealt with both among the Scandinavian state...
Die Grundlegung der Idee der Staatsräson im politischen Denken Machiavellis
Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Theorie und Ideengeschichte, Note: Sehr Gut, Universität Wien (Institut für Staatswissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit dem Thema Machiavelli verhält es sich so wie mit der Politik, jedermann scheint über ihn und seine Ideen Bescheid zu wissen. Es eilt ihm ein Ruf als Protagonist kaltschnäuziger Machtpolitik voraus, hartnäckig hält sich auch das Vorurteil, Machiavelli habe die Moral sowohl aus dem politischen Denken, als auch aus der Realpolitik verbannt. Dies sei nicht zuletzt auf seine Implementierung der Prämisse der staatlichen Selbsterhaltung zurückzuführen, die sich wie ein roter Faden durch seine W...
