Navigating Socialist Encounters
This edited volume firmly places African history into global history by highlighting connections between African and East German actors and institutions during the Cold War. With a special focus on negotiations and African influences on East Germany (and vice versa), the volume sheds light on personal and institutional agency, cultural cross-fertilization, migration, development, and solidarity.
Remembering African Labor Migration to the Second World
This open access book is about Mozambicans and Angolans who migrated in state-sponsored schemes to East Germany in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. They went to work and to be trained as a vanguard labor force for the intended African industrial revolutions. While they were there, they contributed their labor power to the East German economy. This book draws on more than 260 life history interviews and uncovers complex and contradictory experiences and transnational encounters. What emerges is a series of dualities that exist side by side in the memories of the former migrants: the state and the individual, work and consumption, integration and exclusion, loss and gain, and the past in the past and the past in the present and future. By uncovering these dualities, the book explores the lives of African migrants moving between the Third and Second worlds. Devoted to the memories of worker-trainees, this transnational study comes at a time when historians are uncovering the many varied, complicated, and important connections within the global socialist world.
Constraining Democratic Governance in Southern Europe
In this thought-provoking book, José M. Magone investigates the growing political, economic and social divisions between the core countries of the European Union and the southern European periphery. He examines the major hindrances that are preventing the four main southern European countries (Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece) from keeping up with the increasing pace of European integration, and the effects that this is having on democratic governance.

Die Krise in Griechenland
Die Krise in Griechenland ist viel mehr als eine bloße Finanzkrise. Die Autoren dieses Sammelbands widmen sich in 28 Beiträgen allen ihren wesentlichen Aspekten. Sie räumen mit auf die Antike fixierten Vorstellungen über das heutige Griechenland auf, gehen kritisch auf Mentalität und staatliche Strukturen in Griechenland ein und stellen Ansätze zur Lösung der noch nicht überwundenen Krise dar. Ruf und Herkunft der Autoren aus vier Ländern und den Fachrichtungen Geschichte, Soziologie, Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Journalismus und Diplomatie garantieren dabei, dass die verschiedensten Sichtweisen berücksichtigt werden. Die leicht verständlichen Beiträge sind eine unersetzliche Quelle für alle, die sich ernsthaft und fundiert mit der Krise in Griechenland – ihren Gründen, Auswirkungen und Lösungsmöglichkeiten – befassen wollen. Das Buch wurde ausgezeichnet mit dem ITB BuchAward 2016 in der Kategorie "Länderwissen – aktuell".

The Depoliticisation of Greece’s Public Revenue Administration
This book analyses the reform of Greece’s public revenue administration promoted by its international lenders under the successive bailout agreements put in place since 2010. In particular, it shows how an integral part of the finance ministry was converted into an independent agency operating largely outside the direct control of the finance minister. The authors focus on the implementation of this major reform and demonstrate the impact of domestic decisions on the increasing specificity of the international lenders’ demands and the concomitant lack of confidence in the Greek political élite’s commitment to the reform package. This book helps readers understand the response to the eurozone crisis (especially, the conditionality of funding), Greece’s reform capacity with a focus on its tax administration, and the expansion of the scope of non-majoritarian institutions in Western democracies.
Das Leben im Grabe
Das Leben im Grabe erschien zum ersten Mal 1924 auf Lesbos und gehört zum Kanon der neugriechischen Literatur. Bereits im Titel, der sich auf einen populären Psalm aus der Orthodoxen Karfreitagsmesse bezieht, deutet sich die Programmatik des Romans an: Die 57 Kapitel – ›Manuskripte‹ bzw. ›Briefe‹ des Feldwebels Antonis Kostoulas an seine Frau auf Lesbos, die von einem fiktiven ›Herausgeber‹ präsentiert werden, beschreiben das monotone Leben und die Brutalität der Kämpfe in den Schützengraben des Ersten Weltkrieges und Patriotismus und stellen zugleich die nationalen Mythen sarkastisch infrage; lyrische Erinnerungen an das Leben auf der nordägäischen Insel fungieren als ...
