Der Deutsche Sozialstaat: Entfaltung Und Gefahrdung Seit 1945
by Hockerts, Hans Gunter       
(Hardcover - German - 9783525370018)
English summary: Liberal democracy is paradoxically constructed: the market economy produces incessantly social inequality, while the democratic order is based on the idea of political equality. For the balancing of these structural stresses, the welfare state is of fundamental importance. Hans Gunter Hockerts analyzes the changes in the German welfare state since 1945: the development and expansion in the early years of the Federal Republic and the zenith of public welfare production in the social-liberal reform era. This volume keeps the GDR in mind as a collapsed welfare state and failed alternative. It also asks: What will continue to happen to the welfare s ..

by Leemann, Ramon       
(Hardcover - German - 9783847100393)
How did the developing states try to harness the UN-platform for human rights to bring about change in the international economic order during the cold war? This study delivers answers to that question. It examines the bitter quarrel about the formulation of and the connection between the two most relevant human rights in that perspective: the right of all peoples to self-determination and the right to development. Drawing from the methodology of conceptual history, this international history interfaces with international law, practical philosophy and international political economy. It questions the setting of international human rights about the relationship b ..

Deutschlands Drang Nach Sudosten: Der Mitteleuropaische Wirtschaftstag Und Der Erganzungsraum Sudosteuropa 1931-1945
by Freytag, Carl       
(Hardcover - German - 9783899719925)
In 1931, the heavy industry at Rhine and Ruhr took over the Berlin-based German section of the Mitteleuropaischer Wirtschaftstag (MWT). The president of the association, Tilo von Wilmowsky, was a protagonist of engineered and economically organized agriculture. He was also the brother-in-law of Gustav Krupp, giving him the ability to bring about a marriage between amanor and furnace and to discover - later with the help of IG-Farben director Max Ilgner and Ulrich von Hassell - a way out of the German crisis of export and agriculture. With distance to the racist policies of the NS-regime and partly in opposition to its foreign trade policies, 1931-1945 the MWT to ..

Von Der Herrschaft Zur Gefolgschaft: Die Von Westernhagens Im Dritten Reich
by Von Westernhagen, Dorte

English summary: Leading companies are opening up their archives to historians to investigate their history during the Third Reich. The same cannot be said of aristocratic families. Their reputations must not be tarnished. The present study of ten biographies shows how the von Westernhagen family, of ancient noble descent but already largely impoverished by 1900, compensated its demise - the disintegration of the aristocratic order, loss of status and social decline after 1918 - by turning away from monarchic conservatism, becoming politically radical and regaining a stable identity and self-esteem as followers of Hitler and the organisations of the NS and the S ..

Failed States and Fragile Societies: A New World Disorder?
by Trauschweizer, Ingo    Miner, Steven M.   
(Hardcover - English - 9780821420904)
Since the end of the Cold War, a new dynamic has arisen within the international system, one that does not conform to established notions of the state's monopoly on war. In this changing environment, the global community must decide how to respond to the challenges posed to the state by military threats, political and economic decline, and social fragmentation. This insightful work considers the phenomenon of state failure and asks how the international community might better detect signs of state decay at an early stage and devise legally and politically legitimate responses. This collection of essays brings military and social historians into conversation with ..

Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq
by Defense, Department of       
(Paperback - English - 9781470149611)
This report to Congress, Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq, includes specific performance indicators and measures of progress toward political, economic, and security stability in Iraq, as directed by legislation. This is the twentieth report in this series of quarterly reports. The most recent report was submitted in May 2010. As a consequence of the movement of U.S. combat forces out of Iraqi cities on June 30, 2009, the United States has reduced visibility and ability to verify Iraqi reports. Without a robust U.S. presence, United States Forces-Iraq (USF-I) metrics include host nation reports that are not independently verifiable. The overall trends be ..
