Children, Families, and States
Due to the demand for flexible working hours and employees who are available around the clock, the time patterns of childcare and schooling have increasingly become a political issue. Comparing the development of different “time policies” of half-day and all-day provisions in a variety of Eastern and Western European countries since the end of World War II, this innovative volume brings together internationally known experts from the fields of comparative education, history, and the social and political sciences, and makes a significant contribution to this new interdisciplinary field of comparative study.

Domestic Violence in Postcommunist States
Domestic violence has emerged as a significant public policy issue of transnational character and mobilization in the postcommunist era in Europe and Eurasia, as global forces have interacted with the agendas of governments, local and international women's groups, and human rights activists. The result of extensive collaboration among scholars and activist-practitioners -- many from postcommunist countries -- this volume examines the development of state policies, changes in public perceptions, and the interaction of national and international politics.

Imagology
How do national stereotypes emerge? To which extent are they determined by historical or ideological circumstances, or else by cultural, literary or discursive conventions? This first inclusive critical compendium on national characterizations and national (cultural or ethnic) stereotypes contains 120 articles by 73 contributors. Its three parts offer [1] a number of in-depth survey articles on ethnic and national images in European literatures and cultures over many centuries; [2] an encyclopedic survey of the stereotypes and characterizations traditionally ascribed to various ethnicities and nationalities; and [3] a conspectus of relevant concepts in various cultural fields and scholarly disciplines. The volume as a whole, as well as each of the articles, has extensive bibliographies for further critical reading. Imagologyis intended both for students and for senior scholars, facilitating not only a first acquaintance with the historical development, typology and poetics of national stereotypes, but also a deepening of our understanding and analytical perspective by interdisciplinary and comparative contextualization and extensive cross-referencing.
überleben
In diesem Buch erzählen Frauen, die durch einen nahe stehenden Menschen an Körper und Psyche verletzt worden waren, über die schwierige Loslösung aus einer von Gewalt geprägten Beziehung und die Bewältigung der oftmals traumatischen Erfahrungen. Sie alle sind einen langen Weg gegangen, alleine oder mit Unterstützung durch Familie, Freundinnen und/oder Experten/Expertinnen. Zuallererst mussten sie erkennen lernen, dass das, was ihnen angetan wurde, eine wichtige Grenze überschritten hatte, dass ihre Menschenwürde, ihre körperliche und geistige Unversehrtheit verletzt worden war. Was die Frauen eint ist, dass ein nahe stehender Mensch ihnen schwere körperliche, psychische und/oder s...

Enrico Deaglio Ogni biografia nasconde un romanzo, come quella del capitano della Kriegsmarine Rudolf Jacobs, morto sulle colline di Sarzana. È la sua storia a ispirare Il buon tedesco di Carlo Greppi, che contribuisce a gettar luce su questo piccolo esercito di senza patria e senza bandiera. Simonetta Fiori, "la Repubblica" Pochi documenti, molte tracce, molte voci, un lavoro di ricucitura da tessere con pazienza. Un panorama documentario che le ricerche di microstoria hanno insegnato ad affrontare e a risolvere. Anche se fosse ...
Subversion deutscher Herrschaft
English summary: The book examines the activities of British subversive warfare against the Third Reich. It focuses on the Special Operations Executive's Austrian Section. Beginning in 1940, SOE pursued a strategy to separate Austria from Germany and re-establish an independent nation-state in order to prevent long-term German hegemony in Central and Southeast Europe. This study offers a new interpretation of the re-invention of Austria during WWII. Furthermore, the author analyzes the activities of SOE's Austrian Section in Great Britain, USA, Turkey, Switzerland, Sweden, Italy, Slovenia and Austria in organizing resistance among refugees, Wehrmacht soldiers and opponents of the Nazi regime...
Gender, Politics and Institutions

This groundbreaking collection synthesises new institutionalism and gendered analysis using a new approach - feminist institutionalism - in order to answer crucial questions about power inequalities, mechanisms of continuity, and the gendered limits of change.
