Security Strategies in International Business History
This edited volume explores how German companies managed security challenges in Asia from the late 19th to the late 20th century. Through case studies in Japan, China, India, Malaysia, and Southeast Asia, it examines how firms in sectors like pharmaceuticals, electronics, banking, and trade adapted to colonial legacies, decolonization, and Cold War tensions. The book adopts a security- focused framework that goes beyond standard risk analysis, highlighting how businesses responded to political instability, cultural differences, and regulatory shifts. Drawing from rarely used German and Asian archives, contributors uncover the strategies companies used to maintain stability in uncertain envir...
Communist Parties Revisited
The ruling communist parties of the postwar Soviet Bloc possessed nearly unprecedented power to shape every level of society; perhaps in part because of this, they have been routinely depicted as monolithic, austere, and even opaque institutions. Communist Parties Revisited takes a markedly different approach, investigating everyday life within basic organizations to illuminate the inner workings of Eastern Bloc parties. Ranging across national and transnational contexts, the contributions assembled here reconstruct the rituals of party meetings, functionaries’ informal practices, intra-party power struggles, and the social production of ideology to give a detailed account of state socialist policymaking on a micro-historical scale.
Decision Taking, Confidence and Risk Management in Banks from Early Modernity to the 20th Century
This book offers 14 contributions that examine key questions in bank decision-taking,constitution of confidence in banks and risk management practices from Early Modernity to the twentieth century. It explores how the various mechanisms of bank decision taking changed over time. Chapters also analyse the types of risk management techniques used, the contributory factors to the constitution of confidence and the methods that banking historians can use to analyse and describe bankers ́ risk management and decision taking - from system theory to behavioural finance, new institutional economics to praxeology and convention theory to network analysis. The different methodological approaches are put to the test in case studies based on archive material from four hundred years of banking in order to connect banking history more closely to political and cultural history.
The Routledge Handbook of 1989 and the Great Transformation
This cutting-edge collection of essays analyzes the pivotal year of 1989 and the transformation processes that resulted from a historical perspective. It takes the events of that momentous year as a pivot to explore longer-term processes of economic, social, political, and cultural transformation linked to the rise of neoliberalism and globalization since the 1970s and enduring until now. Referencing the work of Karl Polanyi, the handbook advances four main arguments: that the “great transformation” presented here started earlier than 1989; that its legacies linger in spaces, practices, and objects; that in order to grasp the scale of what happened around 1989, it is important to bring E...

Stalin and the Cold War in Europe
The Cold War was a unique international conflict partly because Josef Stalin sought socialist transformation of other countries rather than simply the traditional objectives. This intriguing book, based on recently accessible Soviet primary sources, is the first to explain the emergence of the Cold War and its development in Stalin's lifetime from the perspective of Soviet policy-making. The book pays particular attention to the often-neglected "societal" dimension of Soviet foreign policy as a crucial element of the genesis and development of the Cold War. It is also the first to put German postwar development into the context of Soviet Cold War policy. Stalin vainly tried to mobilize the G...
Die Christengemeinschaft und die ökumenische Perspektive
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Theologie - Sonstiges, Note: Sehr gut, Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den folgenden drei Hypothesen: Die Christengemeinschaft hat zwar keine offizielle dogmatische Lehre, doch sehr viele Mitglieder dieser Religionsgemeinschaft folgen der anthroposophischen Lehre von Steiner. Wenn man davon ausgeht, dass die Christengemeinschaft anthroposophisch inspiriert ist, dann gehört diese Religionsgemeinschaft gemäß der Strang-Theorie zum gnostischen Strang. Das heißt nicht, dass die Anthroposophie zu 100 Prozent mit dem Gnostizismus übereinstimmen muss. Die Hypothese ist, das...
