Demokratieförderung vs. Politische Bildung?
In den vergangenen Jahren sind Orte wie Clausnitz, Heidenau und Freital als Chiffren für fremdenfeindliche Gewalt deutschlandweit und auch international bekannt geworden, ebenso wie bereits zuvor die PEGIDA-Hochburg Dresden. Zu gewalttätigen Ausschreitungen in Chemnitz kam es im Sommer 2018 nach einer Auseinandersetzung, bei der ein Deutsch-Kubaner durch Messerstiche tödlich und zwei weitere schwer verletzt worden waren. Rechte und rechtsextreme Gruppen hatten aufgrund von Nachrichten zum Migrationshintergrund der mutmaßlichen Täter zu Demonstrationen aufgerufen. Im Internet wurden Falschinformationen verbreitet, wonach der Getötete eine deutsche Frau vor sexueller Belästigung durch M...
Gesellschaftsdiagnosen
Unsere "Gesellschaft der Singularitäten" (Andreas Reckwitz) entsteht am Kreuzungspunkt kultureller, ökonomischer und technologischer Wandlungsprozesse und ist durchzogen von Prozessen der Vereinzelung. Spätestens seit den 1990er Jahren befinden wir uns demnach in einer Spätmoderne, in der Besonderheit und Einzigartigkeit herausragende Rollen erhalten. In den 1970er Jahren findet in den westlichen Ländern – auch beeinflusst durch die Kulturrevolution der Zeit um 1968 (vgl. Journal 4/18) – ein Wandel der leitenden Lebenswerte statt: Anpassung an das Allgemeine verliert an Rückhalt, Entfaltung und Verwirklichung des Selbst gewinnen an Überzeugungskraft – das Streben nach einzigarti...

California Greenin'
A political history of environmental policy and regulation in California, from the Gold Rush to the present Over the course of its 150-year history, California has successfully protected its scenic wilderness areas, restricted coastal oil drilling, regulated automobile emissions, preserved coastal access, improved energy efficiency, and, most recently, addressed global climate change.

Bismarck
This riveting, New York Times bestselling biography illuminates the life of Otto von Bismarck, the statesman who unified Germany but who also embodied everything brutal and ruthless about Prussian culture. Jonathan Steinberg draws heavily on contemporary writings, allowing Bismarck's friends and foes to tell the story. What rises from these pages is a complex giant of a man: a hypochondriac with the constitution of an ox, a brutal tyrant who could easily shed tears, a convert to an extreme form of evangelical Protestantism who secularized schools and introduced civil divorce. Bismarck may have been in sheer ability the most intelligent man to direct a great state in modern times. His brillia...
