Transitional Justice After German Reunification
An investigation of denunciators for the East German secret police, the Ministry of State Security and the way they have been publicly unveiled.
Justice as Prevention
Countries emerging from armed conflict or authoritarian rule face difficult questions about what to do with public employees who perpetrated past human rights abuses and the institutional structures that allowed such abuses to happen. Justice as Prevention: Vetting Public Employees in Transitional Societies examines the transitional reform known as "vetting"-the process by which abusive or corrupt employees are excluded from public office. More than a means of punishing individuals, vetting represents an important transitional justice measure aimed at reforming institutions and preventing the recurrence of abuses. The book is the culmination of a multiyear project headed by the International Center for Transitional Justice that included human rights lawyers, experts on police and judicial reform, and scholars of transitional justice and reconciliation. It features case studies of Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, El Salvador, the former German Democratic Republic, Greece, Hungary, Poland, and South Africa, as well as chapters on due process, information management, and intersections between other institutional reforms.
Geschichtspolitik in der "Berliner Republik"
Die Politikwissenschaft öffnet sich zunehmend geschichtspolitischen Fragehorizonten. Manuel Becker untersucht die Möglichkeit einer theoretischen Grundlegung der Geschichte als Element des politischen Handelns. Im empirischen Teil werden die gewonnenen theoretischen Erkenntnisse auf drei Fallbeispiele angewendet: In der Debatte um den Beitritt der Türkei zur EU werden die historischen Argumentationsmuster analysiert und einer intensiven Konsistenzprüfung unterzogen. Weiterhin werden die Geschichte der Behörde des Bundesbeauftragten für die Stasi-Unterlagen in ihrer vergangenheitspolitischen Genese und Entwicklung und das erinnerungspolitische Projekt eines Zentrums gegen Vertreibungen analysiert. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse zu zehn Thesen zur Geschichtspolitik in der „Berliner Republik“ zusammengefasst.
Strategies for Peace
How can sustainable peace be achieved? The book identifies potential supranational, state and non-state actors involved in peacebuilding processes. Further - more, it develops strategies to address the problems and dilemmas of international peacebuilding. An important contribution to a highly topical debate. Hopes for a less conflict-prone world after the end of the Cold War were bitterly disappointed. Instead, the international community is faced with protracted wars and violent conflicts today. In addition, social, economic and cultural insecurities as well as fragile statehood challenge the post-Westphalian environment. As a result, scholars and policy-makers alike are trying to develop viable strategies for sustainable peace. The book contributes to this debate, as it illustrates current research results on the topic and addresses the complex problems and dilemmas that various international peace - building actors are confronted with.
Stefan Heym, Socialist, Dissenter, Jew
Stefan Heym (1913-2001) was an important catalyst for the collapse of the Berlin Wall, a writer-politician who from the very beginning of his long and often dangerous career saw himself as a fighter for a better society. The twelve essays in this volume explore his involvement with the major political issues of his age, as well as less well known aspects of his activities - his operations in US psychological warfare, for example, and the attempts by organs of GDR government to obstruct his critical publications. The emphasis is above all on his commitment to aspects of Socialism. The wide geographical range of the contributors (from six different countries) reflects the increasing interest i...
Gauck
1989 charismatische Führungsfigur der Bürgerbewegung der DDR. Unbestechlich als Bundesbeauftragter für die sechs Millionen Stasi-Akten. Bürgernaher Bundespräsident. Was steckt hinter dieser Karriere des Joachim Gauck? Mario Frank sprach mit wichtigen Zeitzeugen – mit Gaucks Cousins, Gaucks zweiter Lebensgefährtin Helga Hirsch, Kollegen im Pfarramt und der Stasi-Unterlagenbehörde bis hin zu IMs wie Gert Wendelborn. Das ermöglichte dem Autor einen Einblick in Gaucks soziale Beziehungen, Charaktereigenschaften und seinen beruflichen Werdegang, wie er sich so detailliert noch nirgends findet. Frank schreibt die erste umfassende Biographie über den Politiker wie Menschen Joachim Gauck.
