"The Transformation of European Politics, 1763-1848"
This book takes up a question raised about the nature of the European international system in the late eighteenth-early nineteenth centuries by Paul W. Schroeder's pathbreaking and controversial work, "The Transformation of European Politics, 1763 - 1848" (1994). Schroeder's central claim was that the European states system underwent a fundamental transformation in the revolutionary, Napoleonic, and Vienna eras from a system of competitive, conflictual power politics based purely on a shifting balance of power to a more consensual, stable, and peaceful set of relations based on legality, acknowledged rights and obligations, and shared norms. The contributors to this volume, while examining this claim, primarily extend the debate to the entire history of European and world international politics from the early seventeenth century to the present. If this transformation was real, they ask, was it only a temporary episode, or does it represent an example of other transformations or structural changes in international politics over the centuries down to the present day, and a possible model for change in the future?
Soldatenfrauen in Preussen
Im sozialen Umfeld der preußischen Armee des 18. Jahrhunderts lebten nicht nur Männer. Weit über die Hälfte aller Mitglieder der so genannten Garnisonsgesellschaft Preußens waren Ehefrauen, Soldatenliebste, illegitime Lebenspartnerinnen und Kinder von Soldaten. Auf der Basis neuen Quellenmaterials fragt die Autorin nach den ganz unterschiedlichen Lebensbedingungen preußischer Soldatenfrauen. Viele lebten mit ihren Familien unterhalb des Existenzminimums, andere waren reiche Hausbesitzerinnen und genossen Bürgerrechte. Um soziale Spannungen zu vermeiden, musste der preußische Staat Wege finden, die Frauen und Kinder der Garnisonsgesellschaft zu integrieren und zu versorgen, was letztlich nur in Ansätzen gelang.

German Colonialism in a Global Age
This collection provides a comprehensive treatment of the German colonial empire and its significance. Leading scholars show not only how the colonies influenced metropolitan life and the character of German politics during the Bismarckian and Wilhelmine eras (1871–1918), but also how colonial mentalities and practices shaped later histories during the Nazi era. In introductory essays, editors Geoff Eley and Bradley Naranch survey the historiography and broad developments in the imperial imaginary of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Contributors then examine a range of topics, from science and the colonial state to the disciplinary constructions of Africans as colonial subjects for ...
