Narrating China and Europe in Uncertain Times
This edited volume examines the crucial, yet overlooked, role narratives play in the rapidly changing relationship between Europe and China. Its contributors analyze the role of narratives in different societies and arenas ranging from economic and foreign policy to history and social media. Emphasizing the social dimension of narrative, the volume challenges traditional state-centric and strategic approaches in international politics. It also engages with the ubiquity of stories about the "other" in present manifold crises, and underscores the need for a heightened awareness of narratives and their consequences in decision-making processes.
Unpacking the Complexity of German Policy towards China
This book presents a fresh perspective on how bilateral relations are shaped not only by national-level diplomacy but by the interplay of various governance levels-including municipal, regional, national, and supranational actors. Through this approach, the book highlights the nuanced and multi-layered nature of diplomacy in the modern era, moving beyond the traditional state-centric model and bringing attention to the significance of subnational and non-state actors in shaping global relationships. This book goes further by exploring how German federal states (Bundesländer) and cities engage directly with their Chinese counterparts, examining the nature of these interactions also within the broader context of European Union integration. These interactions are not limited to economic partnerships but extend into cultural and academic cooperation, showcasing the depth and diversity of German policy towards China.

Postcommunism and the Body Politic
The epidemic of mass rape in the former Yugoslavia has illustrated once again, and in particularly brutal fashion, the inextricable relationship between national politics, sexual politics, and body politics. The nexus of these three forces is highly charged in any culture, at any time in history, but especially so among cultures in which rapid, even cataclysmic, changes in material realities and national self-conceptions are eroding or overwhelming previously secure boundaries. The postcommunist moment in the so-called Second World--Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union--has dramatically exposed the opportunities and dangers that arise when the political, cultural, and econo...
