Handbuch Lokale Integrationspolitik
Dieser Band bietet eine umfassende und problemorientierte Bestandsaufnahme der kommunalen Integrationspolitik in Deutschland sowie ihrer aktuellen Stärken und Problemzonen. Ihre Politikfelder, Themen und Akteure werden im Detail vorgestellt. Ein Blick auf internationale Erfahrungen erweitert den Möglichkeitshorizont. Die Beiträge dieser Veröffentlichung haben einen doppelten Anspruch. Sie informieren einerseits zuverlässig über den Stand der wissenschaftlichen Debatte und halten andererseits Reflexions- und Praxiswissen für die verschiedenen Akteure des Integrationsgeschehens bereit.Für die ökonomische, soziale und kulturelle Integration von Migrantinnen und Migranten sind Städte und Gemeinden als Orte des alltäglichen Zusammenlebens von zentraler Bedeutung. Die Erkenntnis, dass die Bundesrepublik zu einer Einwanderungsgesellschaft geworden ist, die von gelingender Zuwanderung profitieren kann, hat auf der kommunalen Ebene früh eingesetzt. Was oft als pragmatisches Improvisieren begann, wurde inzwischen an vielen Orten zu integrationspolitischen Gesamtkonzepten weiterentwickelt, in die alle kommunalen Handlungsfelder einbezogen sind.
Industry and Politics in West Germany
Dynamic technological developments in industrial production, the rise of new social movements in national politics, and great changes in the international political economy have left a deep imprint on the Federal Republic. A compelling explanation of West Germany's success in maintaining economic prosperity and political stability under such challenging conditions has continued to elude observers. Under the editorship of Peter J. Katzenstein, thirteen distinguished scholars from both sides of the Atlantic here provide an original interpretation of the political economy of the Bonn Republic during the forty years since its founding, and explore in particular its extraordinary capacity for accommodating change. Whereas studies in political economy have typically focused on one level of political action—either the shop floor, or national politics, or the international system—this innovative account analyzes the interaction of change at all three levels, bringing together case studies drawn from six manufacturing and service sectors.

In The Non-Aligned Movement: Genesis, Organization and Politics (1927-1992) Jürgen Dinkel examines the history of the NAM since the interwar period as a special reaction of the “Global South” to changing global orders.
Protest Politics in Germany
Roger Karapin examines protest movements of all shades to understand why they became influential & also why different forms of protest come to be used in different circumstances.
Political Conflict in Western Europe
What are the consequences of globalization for the structure of political conflicts in Western Europe? How are political conflicts organized and articulated in the twenty-first century? And how does the transformation of territorial boundaries affect the scope and content of political conflicts? This book sets out to answer these questions by analyzing the results of a study of national and European electoral campaigns, protest events and public debates in six West European countries. While the mobilization of the losers in the processes of globalization by new right populist parties is seen to be the driving force of the restructuring of West European politics, the book goes beyond party politics. It attempts to show how the cleavage coalitions that are shaping up under the impact of globalization extend to state actors, interest groups and social movement organizations, and how the new conflicts are framed by the various actors involved.

Small Town and Village in Bavaria
At the center of this investigation is the great modernization effort of a West German state, Bavaria, in the 1970s and 1980s, by means of a reform of the smaller units of local government. The reforms were meant to abolish all autonomous local governments serving populations of fewer than 3,000, thereby reducing the number of local governments in Bavaria from more than 7,000 to less than 2,000. Based on interviews, surveys, and statistical research, this study chronicles fifteen communities and their challenges, developments, and social changes from post-1945 up to the present. While this book explores the decline of the iconic village community, it also reveals the survival of medieval towns in a contemporary world, and despite the modern desire for comprehensive and well-integrated services, there remains a seemingly perennial appeal of small town and village life.
The Invention of Terrorism in Europe, Russia, and the United States
This book examines key cases of terrorist violence to show that the invention of terrorism was linked to the birth of modernity in Europe, Russia and the United States, rather than to Tsarist despotism in 19th century Russia or to Islam sects in Medieval Persia. Combining a highly readable historical narrative with analysis of larger issues in social and political history, the author argues that the dissemination of news about terrorist violence was at the core of a strategy that aimed for political impact on rulers as well as the general public. Dietze's lucid account also reveals how the spread of knowledge about terrorist acts was, from the outset, a transatlantic process. Two incidents f...
