The Archaeology of Xenitia: Greek Immigration and Material Culture
edited by Kostis Kourelis
Between 1900 and 1915, a quarter of the working-age male Greek population immigrated to the United States, Canada, and Australia. This profound demographic phenomenon left an indelible mark on Greek society, but also created new diasporic communities in the host countries. Greek immigration is a phenomenon of modern trans-nationalism that shares features with other migration stories despite its unique ethnic manifestations. Xenitia, as a ...

Roads to Nowhere: A South Arabian Odyssey, 1960-1965
by John Harding
Today part of the Republic of Yemen, Aden has long passed from British consciousness. Yet it was Queen Victoria's first imperial acquisition and, for 128 years, a vitally important British strategic base and commercial staging post. In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, Britain was still the predominant foreign power in the Middle East, but in 1967, overwhelmed by an acute sterling crisis and a failure of political will, the Labour ...

The Glorious First of June 1794: A Naval Battle and Its Aftermath
edited by Michael Duffy and Roger Morriss
The Glorious First of June 1794 was the first great naval engagement of the Great War with France (1793-1815). Participants on both sides considered it the hardest-fought battle between them in the eighteenth century and both sides felt they attained their objectives: the British captured or sank seven French battleships, the French saved their big grain convoy from America.
In this book experts explore the naval campaign from both ...

by Otmar Issing
English summary: In his presentation, Otmar Issing highlights the crisis of the European Monetary Union, which for him is not equivalent to a crisis of the Euro. He describes the current situation with a critical eye and urges people to see the crisis as an opportunity. Other than a brief description of Europe - Where does Europe begin, where does it end? - the book includes notes on European integration and the monetary union, as well as ...

L'America Latina tra Guerra fredda e globalizzazione
edited by Cricco, Massimiliano; Guasconi, Maria Eleonora and Napolitano, Matteo Luigi
English summary: United States intervention in Latin America has its roots in the nineteenth century, but the Cold War provided a new face to American hegemony there. These collected studies examine U.S. politics in Latin America in the second half of the twentieth century, demonstrating that North-South relations in an increasingly globalized world are as relevant as the Cold War in examining relations between Washington and Latin ...

Ein deutsches Jahrhundert 1848-1945. Hoffnung und Hybris: Aufsätze und Vorträge
by Günter Wollstein
English summary: As the geographic center, Germany has always played a special role in Europe. Even the St. Paul's Church had good reasons for Germany's claim to a leadership role and stressed its bridging function. Both Bismarck's policies and German-Poland relations during the 19th Century showed this goal as an opportunity to the other powers rather than a threat. Only during the era of high imperialism did Germany's ambition for power ...

Ethnic Foreign Policy und Identitätsbildung: Die Griechisch-Amerikaner (1964-1978)
by Maria Alexopoulou
English summary: In the wake of the crisis in Cyprus of 1974-75, the so-called Greek lobby established itself in the U.S., and has long been considered the second largest lobbying group after the Jewish-American lobby. But what is the role of ethnic interest groups within the American foreign policy system, and how can one explain the commitment to the homelands of the parents or grandparents of those involved' Maria Alexopoulou analyzes ...

English summary: Currently the EU is trying to refocus its relations with Africa. The author casts an eye back on the history of these relations. He analyzes the motives, objectives, assumptions, and methods of European development policy towards Sub-Saharan Africa during the 1960s. The beginnings of European policy in Africa lie in the creation of the EEC, which incorporated the African colonies of the Member States in the common market. ...

Nationalsozialistische Satire und Deutscher Humor: Politische Bedeutung und Oeffentlichkeit populärer Unterhaltung 1931-1945
by Patrick Merziger
This dissertation was awarded the Ernst Reuter Prize of the Free University of Berlin. Comedy and Nazism - these two concepts may at first seem irreconcilable. At best, one associates vicious satires of the regimes and secretly passed-on Whisper Jokes with the period from 1933 to 1945. But laughter was also found in the Nazi era, and in all media - theater, books, film, press, and radio - dominated by a form that contemporaries called the German ...

Vivre et penser la coopération transfrontalière (Volume 1) - les régions frontalières françaises: Contributions du cycle de recherche sur la coopération transfrontalière de l'Université de Strasbourg et de l'Euro-Institut de Kehl
edited by Birte Wassenberg
Borders are the scars of history; to overcome them is the aim of regional crossborder cooperation in Europe since the late 1950s. French border regions are indeed exemplary: the frontiers of France with Germany, Luxemburg, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and Spain provide us with a wide range of crossborder experiences. Following an interdisciplinary approach, researchers attempt to find answers to three major questions: where are the origins of this ...
