Central Europe (re-)visited by Marija Wakounig,Ferdinand Kühnel Pdf
During the 1970s the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy supported the founding of the Center for Austrian Studies at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and the Austrian Chair at Stanford University in California. These foundings were the initial incentives for the world wide 'spreading' of similar institutions; currently eight Centers for Austrian and Central European Studies exist in seven states on three continents. The financial funding of the Ministry enabled these, to connect senior with young scholars, to help the latter, to participate and benefit from the scientific connection of the former, as the Austrian say 'to sniff the scientific air'. A major reason for the founding of these Centers was the need of the Ministry, to conduct research abroad and to get in touch with the respective national scientific community, to avoid prejudices, and to spread a better understanding and knowledge about Austria and Central Europe. This volume contains the annual reports (2014/2015) of the Center Director's and the presented papers of the PhDs, which deal with/discuss various topics on Central European History in Modern Times. The Centers for Austrian and Central European Studies, founded by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Sciences, Research and Economy since the 1970s play an important role for the Austrian and international scientific community. Their tasks are to promote studies on Austrian and Central Europe in their host nations as well as to offer Austrian and Central European students the opportunity to conduct research abroad and to get in touch with the local scientific community. This anthology contains reports on the activities of the Centers in the Academic Year 2014/2015 and papers of their most promising PhD-students. Mag.

Divisive integration. The triumph of failed ideas in Europe — revisited by Steffen Lehndorff Pdf
This book is a follow-up to the ETUI 2012 volume 'The triumph of failed ideas'. The focus of the book is the weight attributed to the different economic and social development paths in ten individual EU countries, and their interaction with the austerity regime established at EU level which in fact is deepening the crisis rather than paving ways out of it. The most dangerous implication of this policy approach is, according to this study, that it is driving countries apart - misleadingly in the name of 'Europe', hence the title of the book 'divisive integration'. The main message of the book is that a gradual recovery is possible only if there is a change of course in individual countries that then triggers reactions in the policies of other countries and perturbations at the EU level. However, these changes in individual countries is no longer feasible without a green light or at least toleration from the level of the European institutions.
The Future of Europe, Revisited by Peter Coffey Pdf
Europe is at a major crossroads in its post-World War II history. The European Union (EU) has not only successfully adopted the euro as a common currency, but it also stands upon the threshold of including 12 more member states. In this comprehensive volume, Peter Coffey examines the major issues and challenges facing Europe and presents a concise and up-to-date analysis of the economic, political and social issues facing the EU on the eve of its impending enlargement. surrounding the enlargement of the EU including criteria for membership, negotiations with candidate countries and possible implications. Part two covers the euro and EMU. In part three, the author examines the major areas of reform - institutional as well as policy - and sets forth his own proposals for future policy changes. Part four reviews the European Convention, while part five looks to the future of Europe. Also included are official documents on European unification that are often difficult to obtain. In conclusions, the author foresees that the EU will, at least for some time, become a confederation of nation states, rather than a federation as desired by some EU members.

Deals with the period of takeover and of 'high Stalinism' in Eastern Europe (1945–1955). These years are considered to be fundamentally characterized by institutional and ideological transfers based upon the premise of radical transformism and of cultural revolution. Both a balance-sheet and a politico-historical synthesis that reflects the archival and thematic novelties which came about in the field of communism studies after 1989.

The Fur Trade Revisited by Jennifer S. H. Brown,William John Eccles,Donald P. Heldman Pdf
The Fur Trade Revisited is a collection of twenty-eight essays selected from the more than fifty presentations made at the Sixth North American Fur Trade Conference held on Mackinac Island, Michigan, in the fall of 1991. Essays contained in this important new interpretive work focus on the history, archaeology, and literature of a fascinating, growing area of scholarly investigation. Underscoring the work's multifaceted approach is an introductory essay by Lily McAuley titled "Memories of a Trapper's Daughter." This vivid and compelling account of the fur-trade life sets a level of quality for what follows. Part one of The Fur Trade Revisited discusses eighteenth-century fur trade intersections with European markets. The essays in part two examine Native people and the strategies they employed to meet demands placed on them by the market for furs. Part three examines the origins, motives, and careers of those who actually participated in the fur trade. Part four focuses attention on the indigenous fur-trade culture and subsequent archaeology in the area around Mackinac Island, Michigan, while part five contains studies focusing on the fur-trade culture in other parts of North America. Part six assesses the fur trade after 1870 and part seven contains evaluations of the critical historical and literary interpretations prevalent in fur-trade scholarship.
This text demonstrates that the Biafran War, 1967-1970, was the second phase of the Igbo genocide, following the initial massacre of 100,000 Igbo across the principal towns and cities of northern Nigeria. It shows how the slaughter was sanctioned and organised by the State, with its leading institutions - the military, police, religious, media and academia - implicated therein.
