Three Plays About Doctors
DRAMA; WAR AND PSYCHOANALYSIS is the story of Freud's efforts to learn if a famous patient, the Rat Man, was circumcised. THE FAMILY DOCTOR is Dr. Eduard Bloch, the Jewish poor people's doctor, who cared for Adolf Hitler's mother in 1907, in Linz, as she was dying of breast cancer. Thirty years later, after Hitler had annexed Austria, Hitler protected Bloch. But Bloch was reluctant to give up Klara's medical record and two postcards Hitler had sent him in 1907. Would Bloch, the only Jew that Hitler protected from Hitler, be murdered for his disobedience? THE ABORTIONIST is the drama of an abortion doctor, his new wife, and the anti-abortion activists trying to shut him down and murder him: a battle over abortion fought to the death.

Resistance and Change in World Politics
This edited volume analyses different forms of resistance against international institutions and charts their success or failure in changing the normative orders embodied in these institutions. Non-state groups and specific states alike advocate alternative global politics, at the same time finding themselves demonized as pariahs and outlaws who disturb established systems of governance. However, over time, some of these actors not only manage to shake off such allegations, but even find their normative convictions accepted by international institutions. This book develops an innovative conceptual framework to understand and explain these processes, using seven cases studies in diverse policy fields; including international security, health, migration, religion and internet politics. This framework demonstrates the importance of coalition-building and strategic framing in order to form a successful resistance and bring change in world politics.

Before the Holocaust
As the Nazis staged their takeover in 1933, instances of antisemitic violence began to soar. While previous historical research assumed that this violence happened much later, Hermann Beck counteracts this, drawing on sources from twenty German archives, and focussing on this early violence, and on the reaction of German institutions and the elites who led them. Before the Holocaust examines the antisemitic violence experienced in this period - from boycotts, violent attacks, robbery, extortion, abductions, and humiliating 'pillory marches', to grievous bodily harm and murder - which has hitherto not been adequately recognized. Beck then analyses the reactions of those institutions that stil...

Europe without Borders
The contested creation of free movement—for people and goods—in the Schengen area of Europe Europe is a place of free movement among nations—or is it? The Schengen area, established in 1985 and today encompassing twenty-nine European countries, allows people, goods, and capital to cross borders without restraint. Schengen transformed European life, advancing both a democratic project of transnational citizenship and a neoliberal project of international free trade. But the right of free movement always excluded non-Europeans, especially migrants of color from former colonies of the Schengen states. In Europe without Borders, Isaac Stanley-Becker explores the contested creation of free ...
