Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Autorität durch Beziehung: Gewaltloser Widerstand in Beratung, Therapie, Erziehung und Gemeinde
Haim Omers erstes Werk »Autorität ohne Gewalt« erschien 2002 auf Deutsch, das kurze Zeit später veröffentlichte Buch »Autorität durch Beziehung« wird nun auch schon seit nahezu zwanzig Jahren nachgefragt. Das Konzept, die Prinzipien des gewaltlosen Widerstands in Therapie und Beratung einzuführen, ist inzwischen theoretisch und empirisch besser fundiert und hat Eingang in eine Vielzahl neuer Anwendungsfelder gefunden. All dies ist genug Anlass für ein Update zur Entwicklung des Ansatzes, der heute knapp mit dem Begriff »Neue Autorität« gefasst wird. Haim Omer legt in seinem zehnten Buch bei Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, in bewährter Co-Autorenschaft mit Arist von Schlippe, ein Werk vor, das dezidiert die Entwicklung von »elterlicher Präsenz« bis hin zur »Ankerfunktion« nachzeichnet. Die Bandbreite der Anwendungsfelder wird dargestellt, Forschungsergebnisse sowie Wirksamkeitsnachweise werden referiert. So wird der Anspruch eines Handbuchs ganz und gar erfüllt. Haim Omer legt eine inspirierende Zusammenschau seines Ansatzes vor, der sich in der konkreten Praxis seiner Teams über Jahrzehnte immer weiter ausdifferenziert hat. Der »aktuelle Stand« zeigt einmal mehr den hohen Anspruch Omers an die Achtung vor den Problemen von Eltern, Kindern, Jugendlichen, jungen Erwachsenen, aber auch anderen Erziehungspersonen bis hin zu Problemkonstellationen in gemeinwesenorientierten Zusammenhängen, sowie den Respekt vor der Autonomie derjenigen, die im Fokus von Hilfsangeboten stehen. Es gibt kein grundlegenderes Werk zur „Neuen Autorität“ in allen Facetten der Entwicklung und Anwendung.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Handeln und Uberleben: Judische Unternehmer aus Frankfurt am Main 19241964
Benno Nietzel traces the history of Jewish entrepreneurs from Frankfurt am Main from the 1920s to the 1960s. He examines the prerequisites, characteristics and consequences of the socio-economic upheaval represented by the destruction of Jewish commercial activity under Nazi rule. What business assertion and survival strategies did Jewish entrepreneurs develop? What processes of exclusion and persecution have you been exposed to? What happened to your companies during the war and in the post-war period?

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Werner Conze: Ein deutscher Historiker im 20. Jahrhundert
Text in German. Werner Conze (19101986) is one of the most important, but also most controversial German historians of the 20th century. With his pioneering work in social and conceptual history, he contributed significantly to broadening the perspective of West German historical studies after 1945. As a young historian he had worked against National Socialism, which he never commented on publicly after the war. On the basis of a newly opened estate and other sources that have not been taken into account so far, the biography traces the historian's scientific and political metamorphoses between the Third Reich and the Federal Republic.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Mojzesz Schorr und Majer Balaban: Polnisch-judische Historiker der Zwischenkriegszeit
The study examines the life and work of the Polish-Jewish historians Mojżesz Schorr and Majer Balaban, who both were active primarily in Lvov and Warsaw during the Second Polish Republic. Against the backdrop of a then pluralistic environment of multinational and multiethnic empires caught up in change and reeling towards ultimate collapse, they developed a perspective on Jewish history combining the long tradition of Jewry in Poland with Polish general history. Both historians shared the conviction that a Jewish consciousness of history could increasingly supplant religion in a world that was in the process of secularization.For the first time, Maria Gotzen-Dold connects a broad assessment of the works by Schorr and Balaban, and subsequent studies by their pupils following in their footsteps, with findings from extensive archival research conducted in Poland and Ukraine. In doing so, she draws a picture of the expectations and perspectives arising from the decline and eventual fall of the old imperial order and its transition to cultures of history grounded in the nation state at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Herkunft und Textkultur: Uber judische Erfahrungswelten in romanischen Literaturen 14991627
Using five basic texts written in early modern Europe between 1499 and 1627, Susanne Zepp examines the role of Jewish culture in the process of the development of modernity in Romanticism: "La Celestina", the "Dialoghi d'amore" by Leone Ebreo, the first picaresque novel in world literature "Lazarillo de Tormes", the "Essais" by Michel de Montaigne and João Pinto Delgado's poetic adaptations of the Bible. It presents the change in genres and the literary evidence of that time against the background of the history of the 16th century and shows how the emergence of early modern subject consciousness can also be explained from a literary perspective as a universalization of originally particular Jewish experiences.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Jahrbuch des Simon-Dubnow-Instituts / Simon Dubnow Institute Yearbook X (2011)
The Yearbook of the Simon Dubnow institute for 2011 has as one of its major themes the Jewish presence in the local governments of Central Eastern Europe, particularly during the time between World War I and World War II and especially in Poland. A further theme considers matters of literary history after 1945 based on iconic texts as well as approaches determined by our knowledge of history.The general section and the other sections contain contributions on urban life in Eastern Europe, on the history of Jewish newspaper production, on the early studies of the Holocaust, on intellectual circles in the study of Judaism, and on the history of the transfer and effect of continental theories in America.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Die Zeugen Jehovas im Dritten Reich und in der DDR: Feindbild und Verfolgungspraxis
In the fifty years in which representatives of two ideological messages of salvation ruled in Germany, the religious community of Jehovah's Witnesses was banned. Both regimes believed they saw an imminent threat to their rule in the refusal of required gestures of loyalty, in the denial of any military or military service, and in the illegal continuation of the religious life. Many of the believers died, thousands were imprisoned, lost their jobs, or otherwise harassed. Neglected for many years by the public and by historical research, the Jehovah's Witnesses are no longer "forgotten victims".

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Totalitarismus und Transformation: Defizite der Demokratiekonsolidierung in Mittel- und Osteuropa
The focus of the volume is on the negative factors for the establishment and consolidation of democratic constitutional states resulting from previous autocratic regimes with totalitarian features. The fall of the Iron Curtain and the collapse of the one-party regimes in Central and Eastern Europe favored democratic developments in many countries. But they went different ways, and some of them abandoned the path of democratic transformation that had been taken initially after a short time. The great differences in the eastern transformations raise the question of why, at first glance, very similar starting conditions led to very different results. What role did the totalitarian hereditary burden of "actually existing socialism" play in this?

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Hannah Arendt weitergedacht: Ein Symposium
Few philosophers and social scientists of the 20th century are likely to have had an intellectual influence on the debates in science and the public as much as Hannah Arendt. At the same time, only a few were so controversial, only a few were so polarized and only a few saw themselves exposed to such intense hostility as they did. A number of their theses and considerations met with energetic opposition and triggered downright hateful debates, some of which are still carried on today. Hannah Arendt is rightly regarded as a stimulating thinker - who will possibly continue to have an effect in the future, especially through her problems. In this volume, philosophers, political scientists, sociologists and historians take up Hannah Arendt's ideas, problems and considerations and continue them critically.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Ethnische Gewissheiten: Die Ordnung des Regionalen im bayerischen Schwaben vom Kaiserreich bis zum NS-Regime
Small-scale living environments shaped existence from the German Empire to the Nazi era. For the contemporaries, everyday activities in a small room were a matter of course. In a changing world, one's own community, city and region created identity and meaning. What was the relationship between regional identity and other identitary reference systems, what ideas were associated with the design of the regional and what influence did it exert on society and politics? Using the example of Bavarian Swabia, Martina Steber follows the mental construction of the regional and assesses its function and relevance in the very period in which the ambivalence of modernity was so dazzling and horrific at the same time.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Von einer Freundschaft, die es nicht gab: Das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit der DDR und das polnische Innenministerium 1974-1990
The relationship between the Ministry of State Security and the Polish Ministry of the Interior or its secret service was one of the most difficult within the Warsaw Pact. The volume describes the coexistence and opposition of the two secret services on the basis of extensive source research and a detailed consideration of their diverging interests. Behind the facade of an officially prescribed and contractually agreed friendship, there was abysmal mistrust. The Polish perspective also reveals surprising weaknesses of the Stasi. The time focus is on the years 1974 to 1990, but the study also looks at the early years since 1949. In the frosty relationship of the allied secret services, the problematic relationship between the two 'brother states' is always reflected.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Stoff fur Konflikt: Fortschrittsdenken und Religionskritik im naturwissenschaftlichen Materialismus des 19. Jahrhunderts, 1847--1881
For many people in German-speaking countries, the natural sciences in particular seemed to promise social progress after the revolution of 1848/49. The most radical representatives of this interpretation were the so-called natural scientific materialists Carl Vogt (18171895), Jacob Moleschott (18221893) and Ludwig Büchner (18241899). In a mixture of scientific popularization, anti-clericalism and progressive thinking, the materialists turned against religious interpretations of life and celebrated the natural sciences as the central authority of modernity. These positions sparked decades of debate. The study asks what conceptions of the relationship between science, religion and society manifested themselves in the discussion of materialism.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Das wilde Subjekt: Kleine Poetik der Neuen Welt
The New World was at the center of a variety of interests. Only slowly, however, did it become a space of the imaginary, the utopian, and the experience of others and oneself. Christian Kiening describes for the first time coherently how the two Americas are discovered as objects of aesthetic, literary and scientific meaning, how complex processes of exchange and intersections arise and figures of transition - the feral European and the Europeanized savage - emerge. The diverse stories of alterity and mimesis, of utopian and literary islands are dealt with. Kiening's brilliant study offers a prehistory of exoticism and a longing for nature and reveals the cultural and historical conditions under which the foreign is represented as the foreign.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Deutsche Konigspfalzen. Band 7: Zentren herrschaftlicher Reprasentation im Hochmittelalter: Geschichte, Architektur und Zeremoniell
The contributions are devoted to various manifestations of the formation of rule and the regional consolidation of rule in the Middle Ages from the areas of medieval art and building history, from literary studies and source studies, from archeology and the comparative interpretation of Palatinate research as well as from the analysis of outpatient rulership practice. The focus of the volume is on the representative side of the travel kingdom in the buildings connected to it, as well as the literary representation of actions and places. All in all, the result is a balance sheet of the Palatinate research as well as the opening of new perspectives for future studies on Palatinate, residences and court culture in the early Middle Ages.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Die Aufklarung und ihre Weltwirkung
The Enlightenment revolutionized consciousness by stretching it into the Kantian polarity of "Age of Enlightenment" and "Enlightened Age". Enlightenment means on the one hand a clearly delimited historical epoch, on the other hand a universal process that continues to this day. The Enlightenment accelerated modernization processes like the rationalization of statehood. With her progressive thinking she established the belief in inner-worldly happiness realization and thus gave all cultural, social and political processes a new dynamic. The Enlightenment has European origins, but it worked and works worldwide. The current world contrast between Islamism and Western civilization can therefore be understood as a result of the effects of the Enlightenment.

Nach der Aufarbeitung der Fruhgeschichte des Bundesnachrichtendienstes und des Bundesamtes fur Verfassungsschutz folgt die Geschichte des dritten Nachrichtendienstes der Bundesrepublik, der Militarische Abschirmdienst der Bundeswehr (MAD). Dieser ist fur die Sicherheit der Bundeswehr zustandig. Erstmals liegt eine aktengestutzte Geschichte der Organisation und ihrer Mitarbeiter von 1956 bis 1990 vor. Dabei werden die personellen Kontinuitaten innerhalb der Aufbaugeneration ebenso in den Blick genommen, wie die Hauptarbeitsfelder personeller und materieller Geheimschutz, Spionage- und Sabotageabwehr und der Kampf gegen politischen Extremismus und Terrorismus. Daruber hinaus wird das schwierige Verhaltnis des MAD zu den Medien thematisiert. Wie bei den anderen Nachrichtendiensten auch, gibt es beim MAD Kontinuitaten und Bruche. Insgesamt hat sich der MAD gegen einen personell und materiell stets uberlegenen Gegner trotz einiger Pannen und Skandale meist durchsetzen konnen.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Die Lehrer an den Schulen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 1949--2009
Teachers are one of the largest academic professional groups in German society today, although the sharp contrast that has long prevailed between high school teachers and non-high school teachers has only been a thing of the past since around 1970/80. The first, introductory chapter of the data manual is dedicated to this traditional prehistory as well as to the standardization that is so important from a professional point of view. In three additional chapters, the data manual presents statistical findings on the development of the teaching profession, with numerous illustrations and interpretive texts. The statistical results are documented in 400 tables and can be accessed on an enclosed CD. The manual contains a selection of the tables as well as numerous diagrams to illustrate the changes over time. The data for the long time series on which this book is based come from the relevant annual publications of the Federal Statistical Office.

Es gibt Mythen des Entscheidens, die immer wieder erzählt werden, wie beispielsweise die Entscheidung von Adam und Eva im Paradies, vom Baum der Erkenntnis zu essen, das Urteil des Paris, Herakles am Scheideweg oder Buridans Esel, der sich zwischen zwei Heuhaufen nicht entscheiden kann und deshalb zugrunde geht. Der aus dem Münsteraner Sonderforschungsbereich 1150 "Kulturen des Entscheidens" hervorgegangene interdisziplinäre Tagungsband untersucht das Verhältnis von Mythos, Narration und Entscheiden.

Welche Rolle spielten die Verhandlungen über eine englisch-russische Marinekonvention in der Vorgeschichte des Ersten Weltkriegs? Haben die geheim geführten Gespräche, die im Frühjahr 1914 durch einen deutschen Agenten verraten wurden, die Berliner Risikopolitik im Juli 1914 beeinflusst und somit zum Ausbruch des Krieges beigetragen? Wie erheblich ist ihre Einflussnahme einzuschätzen? Wie kam es überhaupt zur Aufnahme der Verhandlungen?

Die bisherige Forschung vertritt die Auffassung, dass der Deutsche Bund eine mit der deutschen Nationsbildung grundsätzlich unvereinbare politische Ordnung gewesen sei. Diese Studie zeigt dagegen, dass der Bund ein entwicklungsfähiges Gebilde darstellte, das durch seine Politik auf den Prozess der deutschen Nationsbildung im 19. Jahrhundert erheblich einwirken konnte und dies nicht nur in negativer Hinsicht. Vor allem nach der Revolution von 1848/49 versuchten die wiederhergestellte Bundesversammlung in Frankfurt sowie zahlreiche einzelstaatliche Regierungen, durch eine umfassende Reform der Bundesverfassung dem Deutschen Bund eine nationale Funktion zu geben und ihn als eine föderative Ordnung zu profilieren.

Angesichts der zentralen Bedeutung, die der Deich innerhalb der küstennahen Lebenswelt hatte, verwundert es nicht, dass er Gegenstand zahlreicher Konflikte war.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Religion und Gewalt: Konflikte, Rituale, Deutungen (1500--1800)
Dem Zusammenhang von Religion und Gewalt in der Moderne ist die Geschichtswissenschaft der letzten Jahre systematisch nachgegangen. Für die europäische Geschichte der Frühen Neuzeit hingegen sind bisher nur Einzelfragen untersucht worden. Dieser Band bietet nun eine Reihe von Perspektiven auf religiös motivierte, legitimierte oder gedeutete Gewalt im frühneuzeitlichen Europa. Analysiert werden Phänomene wie das Martyrium, die frühneuzeitlichen Religionskriege, die Rolle der Inquisition, militante religiöse Lieder und andere symbolische Formen der Gewalt, konfessionelle Zwänge durch Autoritäten sowie individuelle Erfahrungen und Deutungen von Gewalt. Mit der systematisierenden Zusammenschau dieses Bandes erhält die historische Analyse religiöser Gewalt im frühneuzeitlichen Europa wichtige Impulse.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Szenen der Wiener Moderne: Drei Artefakte und ihre Vorstellungswelten des Judischen
The essay tells the story of three artefacts from Vienna, starting with the silent film Die Stadt ohne Juden (1924) through the theatrical sensation at the turn of the century Die Klabriaspartie (1890) back to the year of the world exhibition in 1873, in which a type photograph of a Jewish peddler was made. With their respective specifics, they can only be understood in the local context, but the artifacts are nevertheless woven into European contexts of experience and traditions of thought. Her investigation provides insights into the world of ideas of the Jewish in Viennese modernism and reveals processes of authentication and deconstruction.

Die Orte der Herrschaft zeigen sich als Stätten in einem sozialen, strukturellen und geographischen Umfeld, dessen systematische, breit angelegte Erforschung unter Berücksichtigung der dynamischen Entwicklungen und der vergleichbaren Komponenten erst am Anfang steht: Welche Rolle spielen Plätze und Landschaften für Menschen? Gab es Möglichkeiten zur Wahl der Orte der Herrschaft? Was sind die Gründe für die fortschreitende Verdichtung von Herrschaft hin zur Bildung von Zentren und schließlich Hauptstädten? Und wo liegen die kulturübergreifenden Elemente, die spezifischen Besonderheiten und Unterschiede, wo die wechselseitigen Beeinflussungen?

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Macht und Kontrolle im Unternehmen: Die politische okonomie des Aktionarsschutzes im Deutschen Reich, 1870--1945
Between 1870 and 1937, the corporate control system in the German Reich changed fundamentally. While the German Empire emphasized the protection of shareholders and minority shareholders, shareholders lost their rights of codecision in the 1920s. At the same time, the corporation changed from an owner-operated company to a large, manager-run company. Felix Selgert examines the political and social conditions of this change. He shows that this was influenced by environmental conditions such as financial and economic crises as well as by coalitions of advocates.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Zukunft entscheiden: Optionalitat in vormodernem Erzahlen
Against the background of Christian-determined visions of the future, decision-making processes represent a form of literary appropriation and shaping of the future. The anthology poses the question of the relationship between decision-making processes and drafts of the future in pre-modern narration: what is the significance of telling decisions against the background of 'closed' conceptions of the future? The collected contributions cover a broad spectrum of pre-modern storytelling and for the first time measure the scope for optionality in the literature of the Middle Ages and the early modern period.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Staatsburgerschaft und Nation: Ausschließung und Integration in der Schweiz 18481933
Text in German. Regula Argast's study examines the development of Swiss citizenship between the founding of the federal state in 1848 and the anchoring of a restrictive naturalization and settlement policy in the interwar period. The focus of their investigation is the inclusion and exclusion of changing population groups as a citizen and the question of the causes for the granting or denial of Swiss citizenship. It becomes clear that the rules of granting between the federal government, cantons and municipalities had to be negotiated and coordinated again and again. It was only during and after the First World War that a nationalized and ethnicized fear of "foreign infiltration" was combined with the traditional defensive attitude of the civil communities.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Katholische Kirche und Sozialwissenschaften 19451975
Since 1945 the Catholic Church has resorted to a number of sociological methods in rapid succession. These should help to fill areas of church removal with new missionary zeal, to observe the attitudes of the faithful through demoscopy and to adapt the church's organizational structure to the changed conditions of pastoral care. Group dynamic and therapeutic concepts opened up new possibilities for the religious self-thematization of the individual. With the help of the social sciences, the consequences of functional differentiation as "secularization" could be observed without a greater rationality of church action being easily achieved. The reception and practical application of these methods in the church is a vivid example of the increasing "scientification of the social". The social sciences should help preach the gospel message in new ways. But at the same time they threatened to drain the faith. The historical analysis of this process enables fascinating insights into the religious and church history of the 20th century. At the same time, it is a criticism of the success stories of the Federal Republic that have turned out too smooth, and rather interprets them as a period of "dangerous modernity".

Wissenschaftlicher Austausch und Vernetzung in der Forschung waren schon zur Eröffnung der Universität Göttingen im Jahr 1737 kaum zu überschätzen. Während in Büchern und Aufsätzen in der Regel nur das Destillat eines langen, steinigen Weges zu finden ist, bieten Briefwechsel die Möglichkeit, den Forschungsprozess selbst zu analysieren.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Vom Ende der Emanzipation: Judische Philosophie und Theologie nach 1933
Text in German. One of the philosophical self-understanding texts of the 20th century that has so far received little attention is the fundamental debate that Jewish philosophers and theologians led after the National Socialists came to power. In newspapers, magazines and books, until the violent end of Jewish public life in Germany in 1938, there was still a passionate argument about contemporary and "true" Judaism for half a decade. Central interpretations beyond the much invoked "German-Jewish symbiosis" came mainly from the theological side. While the law-abiding Rabbi Alexander Altmann (19061987) clung to halachic Judaism as the central meaning for Jews, the young religious historian Hans-Joachim Schoeps (19091980) favored the content of Karl Barth's Christian dialectical theology. The common point of reference in these discussions was not infrequently Franz Rosenzweig (18861929), whose work had received a remarkable reception since 1933. In view of the existential threat, philosophers also participate in the controversy over the question "What is Judaism?" The essay mainly examines the polemic by Leo Strauss (18991973), whose book Philosophy and Law from 1935 had become a manifesto for contemporaries. His sharp criticism of the turning away from the sources of Judaism, as Maimonides (11381204) had canonized in his writings, resulted in a redefinition of the Enlightenment and tradition in Judaism. Among other things, the philosopher Julius Guttmann (18801950) and his student Fritz Bamberger (19021984) responded with a defense of liberal Judaism.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Ovids Epos und die Tradition des Lehrgedichts: Mythos und Elementenlehre in den 'Metamorphosen'
The study offers a comprehensive insight into Ovid's relationship to his predecessors from the tradition of the didactic poem in the Metamorphoses. While the references to Lucretius have been studied many times, the influence of Empedocles has so far hardly been researched. His teaching of a changing cosmos through the two cosmic actors love (concordia) and strife (discordia) is already evident in the cosmogony in which Ovid describes the change from chaos (discordia) to cosmos (concordia). The reminiscences testify to the admiration of the teaching poets, but Ovid questions their authority with innovative modifications.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Geschichtsoptimismus und Katastrophenbewusstsein
Current controversies about the "singularity of the Holocaust" often overlook the fact that it took some time after 1945 for the murder of European Jews to penetrate the consciousness of European societies. This anthology investigates the reasons for this by presenting the memory history of the Holocaust with the political history and history of ideas of the Cold War. The German and English-language contributions do not simply trace the belated history of reception or the official culture of remembrance in various European countries. Rather, they focus on the question of the latent effect of the event, which was essentially determined by national peculiarities, and approach these country-specific constellations via paradigmatic biographies of the political left.The volume thus not only offers an innovative approach to the historicization of the 1950s and 1960s, but also achieves one Contribution to the current discussion about the possibility of a multi-perspective memory.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Sei also ohne Sorge, Liebling: Briefe uber Liebe und Schrecken im Dritten Reich
Text in German. Lilo and Ernst get to know each other during the country year in 1935 and fall in love. They make plans for the future, move in together and finally get married. Both are convinced of National Socialism and its values. Then the war breaks out and Ernst is drafted. They write letters to each other that show with an incomparable intensity the clash of their personal dreams with the political and military realities of the Third Reich. Seventy years later, her daughter Heinke deciphered the letters written in Sütterlin and asked the next generation: What did her parents know? Why did they believe in Hitler? The book is not an indictment against the parents. Rather, it is a painful argument and a historical analysis of one's own family history in the Third Reich.

How can the mobilizing power of the "right-wing populist" parties represented in the European Parliament be explained and how can they be effectively countered? This study aims to contribute to this by analyzing the ideological-programmatic aspects of these parties. The most popular among them provide "modernization services" that distinguish them from the old extreme right. They propagate anti-anti-Semitism, reject biological racism and orientate themselves on the model of a coexistence of separated ethno-cultural communities.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Entscheidungsfindung in spatmittelalterlichen Gemeinschaften
The contributions in the volume investigate how late medieval communities prepared, made and conveyed decisions in the context of their social structures, social rule constellations and cultural patterns of interpretation. Formal groups that have had long-term historical effects are examined: municipal councils, guilds, the Hanseatic League, cathedral chapters and monastic convents, masters and scholars before and during the emergence of universities as well as inquisitions and councils. Social forms, structures and logics of decision-making are more informative than individual motives of historical actors for the understanding of collective decisions. By concentrating on the social, communicative practice of decision-making, the selected case studies make it clear that collective decision-making is more than the sum of individual decisions.
