Traces the early years in the life of Wilhelm II, German emperor before the First World War, focusing on his genealogy, education, and service as an officer in the Prussian Army
The Lander and German Federalism
This book provides a detailed introduction to how the Lander (the 16 states of Germany) function not only within the country itself but also within the wider context of European political affairs. Some knowledge of the role of the Lander is essential to an understanding of the political system as well as of German federalism. This book traces the origin of the Lander. It looks at their place in the constitutional order of the country and the political and administrative system. Their organization and administration are fully covered, as is their financing. Parties and elections in the Lander and the controversial roles of parliaments and deputies are also examined.
Beyond a One-Dimensional State: An Emerging Right to Autonomy?
The beginning of the 21st century is characterized by global structural changes and worldwide concern for the problems surrounding the relationships between states and minority groups. Autonomy has become a code word for an all-purpose means of inclusion of sub-state groups in the three major functions that make for the essence of international law: the allocation of competence, the furtherance of common interest and the maintenance of international peace. Since to be autonomous is to be a law to oneself, and autonomous agents are self-governing agents, the authors of this present volume try give an answer – each from a particular professional perspective- to one overriding question: what ...
Wilhelm II
Wilhelm II (1859–1941), King of Prussia and German Emperor from 1888 to 1918, reigned during a period of unprecedented economic, cultural, and intellectual achievement in Germany. This volume completes Lamar Cecil’s prize-winning scholarly biography of the Kaiser, one of modern history’s most powerful — and most misunderstood — rulers. As Cecil shows, Wilhelm’s private life reflects a deeply troubled and very superficial man. But the book’s larger focus is on Wilhelm as a head of state. Cecil traces the events of the years leading up to World War I, a period that offers ample evidence of the Kaiser’s inept conduct of foreign affairs, especially relations with England. Once wa...
Journey to the Abyss
These fascinating, never-before-published early diaries of Count Harry Kessler—patron, museum director, publisher, cultural critic, soldier, secret agent, and diplomat—present a sweeping panorama of the arts and politics of Belle Époque Europe, a glittering world poised to be changed irrevocably by the Great War. Kessler’s immersion in the new art and literature of Paris, London, and Berlin unfolds in the first part of the diaries. This refined world gives way to vivid descriptions of the horrific fighting on the Eastern and Western fronts of World War I, the intriguing private discussions among the German political and military elite about the progress of the war, as well as Kesslerâ...
Die Verfassungsgarantie kommunaler Selbstverwaltung
English summary: The topicality of challenges to communal self-government stands in clear contrast to the critical development of Article 28 Paragraph 2 of the German constitution. Andreas Engels addresses this issue, and with the help of a critical reconstruction, has developed a credible basis for overcoming the challenges to communal self-government. The newly developed approach does not claim to be able to answer all the issues, of course, but its contribution will help to eliminate those deficiencies which have been viewed as a source of weakness in current interpretive models. The author aims at fostering the rationalization of the discourse concerning communal self-government and to p...
