Salvation and Catastrophe
The Greek-Turkish War of 1919–1923—also known as the Western Front of the Turkish War of Liberation and the Asia Minor Campaign—was one of the key aftershocks of the First World War. Internationally better known for its aftermath, the Compulsory Population Exchange between Greece and Turkey, the Catastrophe of Ottoman Greeks, and the foundation of the Republic of Turkey under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the war has never been given a holistic treatment in English, despite its long shadow over the Greek-Turkish relationship. The contributors in this volume address this gap by brining to the fore, on its centenary, aspects of the onset, conduct, and aftermath of this war. Combining insights from the study of international relations, political science, strategic studies, military history, migration studies, and social history the contributions tell the story of leaders and decisions, battles and campaigns, voluntary and involuntary migration, and the human stories of suffering and resilience. It is aspects of the story of the last gasp of the Great War in Europe, brought to its final end with Treaty of Lausanne of 1923.
International Conflict and Security Law
This unique two-volume book covers virtually the whole spectrum of international conflict and security law. It proceeds from values protected by international law (Part I), through substantive rules in which these values are embodied (Part II), to international and domestic institutions that enforce the law (Part III). It subsequently deals with current challenges in the application of rules of international conflict and security law (Part IV), and crimes as the most serious violations of those rules (Part V). Finally, in the section on case studies (Part VI), lessons learnt from a number of conflict situations are discussed. Written by an international team of experts representing all the m...

Auf den Spuren alter Kulturen - Band IV
Entstehung und Ausbreitung der menschlichen Zivilisation sowie Entwicklung von Kunst, Kultur, Wissenschaft und Technik alter Völker und Kulturen stehen seit 1973 im Mittelpunkt der Vereinstätigkeit des Freundeskreises Alte Kulturen Freiberg. Im Oktober 2023 begeht der Freundeskreis Alte Kulturen sein 50-jähriges Bestehen. Aus diesem Anlass erscheint der vierte Band der Vereinschronik. In bislang über 550 Veranstaltungen "führte" der Verein seine Mitglieder und Gäste zu den Schauplätzen alter Kulturen in über 80 Ländern auf allen Kontinenten und ließ so Geschichte lebendig werden. Namhafte Referenten haben diesen Weg begleitet. Vorliegender Band knüpft unmittelbar an die bisher erschienenen Bände an und widerspiegelt im Teil I insbesondere die Vereinstätigkeit von 2019 bis 2023. Im Teil II führen Referenten und Vereinsmitglieder in ihren Beiträgen erneut weltweit zu den Schauplätzen alter Kulturen und spannen so zeitlich und geographisch einen weiten Bogen. Insoweit richtet sich auch dieser Band erneut an alle archäologisch und geschichtlich Interessierte und nicht nur an die Mitglieder und Referenten des Freundeskreises Alte Kulturen.
Imperial Matter
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s new open access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. What is the role of the material world in shaping the tensions and paradoxes of imperial sovereignty? Scholars have long shed light on the complex processes of conquest, extraction, and colonialism under imperial rule. But imperialism has usually been cast as an exclusively human drama, one in which the world of matter does not play an active role. Lori Khatchadourian argues instead that things—from everyday objects to monumental buildings—profoundly shape social and political life under empire. Out of the archaeology of ancient Persia and the South Caucasus, Imperial Matter advances powerful new analytical approaches to the study of imperialism writ large and should be read by scholars working on empire across the humanities and social sciences.
Greece, Turkey, NATO and the Cyprus Issue 1973–1988
The volume examines one of the most sensitive issues in the contemporary diplomatic history of the eastern Mediterranean, namely, the nexus between Greece, Turkey, the Cyprus problem and NATO in the crucial period between 1973 and 1988. Beginning with the emergence of the Aegean dispute in 1973 and ending with the most comprehensive attempt to date to solve the Greek–Turkish conflict in the wake of the Davos rapprochement process in 1988. The analysis in this book goes back to developments that occurred in the first half of the 20th century.
Antike Einweihungs-Bilder mit der rituellen verborgenen Geometrie
Die Einweihungswege der Königlichen Kunst antiker Mysterien sind in antiken Kunst-Bildwerken in deren Bildhintergrund in einer geheimen Verborgenen Geometrie dargestellt. Die bildgegenständlichen Darstellungen (etwa vom Gigantenkampf, von Marsyas, der Athenas weggeworfene Flöten aufgreift, oder etwa von Laokoons Kampf gegen zwei Schlangen) erhalten so einen tieferen Sinn: Athena kämpft nicht gegen den Giganten Alkyoneus, sondern sie erhebt ihn aus seinen tierischen Leidenschaften zu geistiger Besinnung. Oder der Flötenspieler Marsyas wird nicht von Athena verflucht, sondern von ihr zur Selbsterkenntnis geführt. Auch wird Laokoon nicht von den Schlangen erwürgt, sondern diese öffnen a...
The Greek Gastarbeiter in the Federal Republic of Germany (1960–1974)
Was migration to Germany a blessing or a curse? The main argument of this book is that the Greek state conceived labor migration as a traineeship into Europeanization with its shiny varnish of progress. Jumping on a fully packed train to West Germany meant leaving the past behind. However, the tensed Cold War realities left no space for illusions; specters of the Nazi past and the Greek Civil War still haunted them all. Adopting a transnational approach, this monograph retargets attention to the sending state by exploring how the Greek Gastarbeiter’s welfare was intrinsically connected with their homeland through its exercise of long-distance nationalism. Apart from its fresh take in postwar migration, the book also addresses methodological challenges in creative ways. The narrative alternates between the macro- and the micro-level, including subnational and transnational actors and integrating a diverse set of primary sources and voices. Avoiding the trap of exceptionalism, it contextualizes the Greek case in the Mediterranean and Southeast European experience.
