Decisiveness and Fear of Disorder
Decisiveness and Fear of Disorder examines how democratic representatives make decisions in crisis situations. By analyzing parliamentary asylum debates from Germany’s Asylum Compromise in 1992-1993 and the 2015-2016 refugee crisis, Julius Rogenhofer identifies representatives’ ability to project decisiveness as a crucial determinant for whether the rights and demands of irregular migrants were adequately considered in democratic decision-making. Both crisis situations showcase an emotive dimension to the parliamentary meaning-making process. As politicians confront fears of social and political disorder, they focus on appearing decisive in the eyes of the public and fellow representativ...
The Extreme Right in Europe
The present work deals not only with the well-organized right extremism in modern Europe as well as with its function in proper political parties, but equally includes two additional, broader approaches: the militant branches and subcultures that exist, including some paramilitary phenomena in Eastern Europe; and the broad realm of their political ideas and cultural trends and the influence they exert on European political culture.
Germany’s History Wars
Like no other country’s Germany’s identity is shaped by its history or rather by the critical engagement with this history. The book traces the most important public debates on history since the new millennium thereby adding a mosaic of topics and perspectives to the memorial landscape of the Berlin Republic. The book is divided into five parts, "German Empire and the question of continuity", "National Socialism and World War II", "The Holocaust and Multidirectional Memory", "GDR/BRD/Unification" to "The Berlin Republic. Marginalization and new Master Narratives", and addresses them from different biographical backgrounds, thereby creating a mosaic of topics and perspectives.

The network was armed with explosives, machine guns and high-tech communication equipment hidden in underground bunkers and secret arms caches in forests and mountain meadows. In some countries the secret army linked up with right-wing terrorist who in a ...
Die kurdische Frage in der Türkei
Der Konflikt zwischen der Türkei und der kurdischen Bevölkerung hat eine lange und verwobene Geschichte. Um die gegenwärtigen Spannungen und die Konsequenzen der staatlichen Politik verstehen zu können, ist ein Blick in die Vergangenheit unumgänglich. Ismail Küpeli nimmt sich dieses Komplexes an und analysiert vor dem Hintergrund der historischen Entwicklungen die autoritäre und gewaltsame Durchsetzung von Nationalstaatlichkeit in der Türkei. Auf dieser Grundlage formuliert er darüber hinaus Empfehlungen für eine politische Bildung, die einen Beitrag zur Anerkennung von Pluralität und Diversität sowie zu einem gesellschaftlichen Friedensprozess liefern kann.
