Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Im Marz 2003 feierte der Mediavist Kurt-Ulrich Jaschke seinen 65. Geburtstag. In den langen Jahren seines Wirkens an der Universitat des Saarlandes hat sich Kurt-Ulrich Jaschke in besonderer Weise um die Geschichte des Saar-Lor-Lux-Raumes verdient gemacht, der mit den Luxemburgern eine der bedeutendsten Herrscher dynastien des Mittelalters hervorbrachte. Dabei verlor er jedoch den gesamteuropaischen Bezug seines Faches nie aus dem Auge und wandte sich auch immer wieder einzelnen Aspekten der franzosischen und englischen Geschichte zu. Neue Impulse setzten daneben beispielsweise seine Beitrage zur mittelalterlichen Frauenfor-schung oder zur Stadtgeschichtsforschung. Die vorliegende Festschrift spiegelt den breiten Interessenhorizont des Jubilars wider.

Download or read book Region Regional Identity and Regionalism in Southeastern Europe written by Klaus Roth and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2008 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southeastern Europe is often portrayed as an area plagued by endemic nationalisms, a view that seems to be confirmed by the break-up of Yugoslavia. However, a closer look shows that the nation is not the only territorial unit of identification. Regions play an important role as well, especially those that look back on traditions that differ from those of the national state. Thus, the end of socialism also brought forward regional movements which articulated opposition to the dominance of the centralized state. These developments are furthered by the integration into the European Union, whose policy of a "Europe of the Regions" demands strong regional centres for the administration of structural funds and for the empowerment of the regions. The contributions to this volume address the dynamics of regions, regionalism and regional identities in present Southeast Europe, but also look into the history of individual regions. They provide ample material for understanding the complex nature of territorial identification in this rapidly changing part of Europe.
Download or read book John of Moravia between the Czech Lands and the Patriarchate of Aquileia ca 1345 1394 written by Ondřej Schmidt and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Ondřej Schmidt offers a critical biography of John of Moravia, illegitimate son of the Moravian Margrave John Henry from the Luxembourg dynasty. Earlier research has confused John with another son of the Margrave, but here, the author argues that John actually became provost of Vyšehrad (1368–1380), bishop of Litomyšl (1380–1387), and eventually patriarch of Aquileia (1387–1394). The study provides a detailed account of John’s life and his assassination in the wider context of princely bastards’ careers, the Luxembourg dynasty, and Czech and Italian history. Schmidt also explores the development of the “second life” of John of Moravia in the historical memory of the following centuries. First published in Czech by Vyšehrad Publishers Ltd as Jan z Moravy.

Download or read book Democracy and Rule of Law in the European Union written by Flora A.N.J. Goudappel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present collection of essays offers the reader a broad range of original perspectives on democracy and the rule of law in the European Union, approaching the existing policy area from new points of view. Leading experts from different countries and backgrounds focus on how democracy and the rule of law are related to topics like security, pension rights, judicial cooperation and human rights protection. Their expert views are based on a combination of theory and knowledge acquired in their practice as academics or practitioners in the field of European integration.. The issue of the rule of law and democracy is close to the heart of Professor Jaap de Zwaan, a true European, building bridges between countries and peoples. He has written extensively on the subject of European integration. Therefore, this collection of expert views is not only an original and valuable contribution to the literature and discussion on the development and enlargement of the European Union, but at the same time it is a tribute to Jaap de Zwaan, whose academic and diplomatic career can be characterized as always serving “an ever closer Union”. Flora Goudappel is Jean Monnet Professor of EU Trade Law in the Overseas Territories at the Erasmus University Rotterdam and a consultant on European Union law Ernst Hirsch Ballin is Professor of Dutch and European Constitutional Law at Tilburg University and Professor of Human Rights Law at the University of Amsterdam.

Download or read book Ottonian Queenship written by Simon MacLean and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first major study in English of the queens of the Ottonian dynasty (919-1024). The Ottonians were a family from Saxony who are often regarded as the founders of the medieval German kingdom. They were the most successful of all the dynasties to emerge from the wreckage of the pan-European Carolingian Empire after it disintegrated in 888, ruling as kings and emperors in Germany and Italy and exerting indirect hegemony in France and in Eastern Europe. It has long been noted by historians that Ottonian queens were peculiarly powerful - indeed, among the most powerful of the entire Middle Ages. Their reputations, particularly those of the empresses Theophanu (d.991) and Adelheid (d.999) have been commemorated for a thousand years in art, literature, and opera. But while the exceptional status of the Ottonian queens is well appreciated, it has not been fully explained. Ottonian Queenship offers an original interpretation of Ottonian queenship through a study of the sources for the dynasty's six queens, and seeks to explain it as a phenomenon with a beginning, middle, and end. The argument is that Ottonian queenship has to be understood as a feature in a broader historical landscape, and that its history is intimately connected with the unfolding story of the royal dynasty as a whole. Simon MacLean therefore interprets the spectacular status of Ottonian royal women not as a matter of extraordinary individual personalities, but as a distinctive product of the post-Carolingian era in which the certainties of the ninth century were breaking down amidst overlapping struggles for elite family power, royal legitimacy, and territory. Queenship provides a thread which takes us through the complicated story of a crucial century in Europe's creation, and helps explain how new ideas of order were constructed from the debris of the past.
Download or read book Imperial Ladies of the Ottonian Dynasty written by Phyllis G. Jestice and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In tenth-century Europe and particularly in Germany, imperial women were able to wield power in ways that were scarcely imaginable in earlier centuries. Theophanu and Adelheid were two of the most influential figures in the Ottonian reich along with their husbands, who relied heavily on their support. Phyllis G. Jestice examines an array of factors that produced their power and prestige, including societal attitudes toward women, their wealth, their unction as queens, and their carefully constructed image of piety. Due to their influential positions, Theophanu and Adelheid reclaimed control of the young Otto III despite fierce opposition from Henry the Quarrelsome during the throne struggle of 984. In examining how they successfully secured the regency, this book confronts the outmoded notion of exceptionalism and illuminates the lives of powerful Ottonian women.

Book excerpt: Seit ihrer Grundung spielt die Bundesrepublik eine wichtige Rolle im historisch einmaligen Prozess der europaischen Einigung. Der Sammelband entwickelt eine moderne historische Perspektive auf die bundesdeutsche Europapolitik unter Berucksichtigung sowohl der handelnden Personlichkeiten als auch der gesellschaftlichen, kulturellen, okonomischen und internationalen Triebkrafte und Wandlungen. Nach einer Einfuhrung in die Trends und Kontroversen der Integrationshistoriographie behandeln 28 Beitrage von Historikern und Politologen die Europapolitik der Bundesregierungen von Adenauer bis zur Gegenwart, das Denken und Wirken deutscher Entscheidungstrager in Bonn, Berlin und Brussel sowie das Europabewusstsein ausgewahlter Bundesprasidenten. Im zweiten Teil geht es um gesellschaftliche Krafte und Aspekte wie Mentalitaten, Medien, Industrie und Landwirtschaft. Im dritten und vierten Teil werden Schlusselmomente wichtiger bilateraler Partnerschaften analysiert und die innerdeutschen Sonderbeziehungen von 1949 bis zur deutschen Einheit im Hinblick auf den Integrationsprozess untersucht. Abschliessend wird ein Blick auf die Entwicklung der europaischen Verfassung und das Wechselverhaltnis zwischen nationaler und europaischer Identitat geworfen.

Download or read book Holding the Line written by Ian Townsend Gault and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains contributions from twenty-four scholars concerning the significance and implications of the world’s borderlands in economic, political, and socio-cultural contexts. Together these essays explore the changing role of borders in a global world. Are borders increasingly irrelevant under conditions of globalization, or can a case be made to demonstrate their continuing importance at various levels of spatial activity? Situating itself within a growing border literature, Holding the Line argues that contemporary borders facilitate parallel processes of globalization and localization of political activity. As such, the essays adopt a holistic approach to understanding the impact of boundaries on both society and space. They demonstrate that any attempt to create a methodological and conceptual framework for the understanding of boundaries must be concerned with the process of bounding, rather than simply the means through which the physical lines of separation are delimited and demarcated. This approach renders the notion of a "borderless world" highly problematic, because the latter ignores the important and ongoing relationship between the functional role of borders in the bounding process, and the symbolic role of borders as imagined social, political, and economic constructions embedded within a geographical text. The changing characteristics of political boundaries during an era of globalization has become a great focus of interdisciplinary study, and this book will appeal to scholars of political geography, border studies, and international relations.
