»Der Ausgangspunkt dieses Buches war eine Elegie für meine Großmutter, die vor drei Jahren starb und die sich weder für den Talmud noch das Internet besonders interessierte. Dennoch weckten ihr Leben und ihr Tod Gedanken in mir, die weit in die dunkle Vergangenheit des Talmuds zurückführen wie auch hinein in die schwer zu fassende technologische Zukunft.« Jonathan Rosens bewegende »Geschichte von zwei Welten« verbindet Reflexionen und persönliche Erinnerungen; sie wird zu einer intellektuellen Reise, die überraschende Parallelen zwischen Talmud und Internet zutage bringt.Die unerschöpfliche Fülle der rabbinischen überlieferung, die Seiten des Talmud, wie auch das World Wide Web machen die Chance eines Diskurses sichtbar, zu dessen Wesen es gehört, mit Ungewißheiten und Paradoxien zu leben, anstatt sie mit autoritären Sinnstiftungen aufzuheben. Der Talmud mit seinen die Grenzen von Zeit und Ort übergreifenden Debatten sicherte das überleben des Judentums nach der Zerstörung des Tempels. Die Exilsituation, die über Jahrhunderte jüdische Existenz geprägt hat, wird in Rosens Deutung transparent für eine hoffnungsvolle Wahrnehmung der Gegenwart. Indem er die Geschichte der eigenen Familie erzählt, gelingt ihm eine exemplarische Positionsbestimmung jüdischen Lebens in unserer Zeit.
Die USA sind die älteste (Medien-)Demokratie der Welt. Franklin D. Roosevelt unterhielt sich in den dreißiger Jahren bei den »Fireside Chats« per Radio mit den Wählern, John F. Kennedy war der erste Präsident des TV-Zeitalters, 2008 kommt die nächste Medienrevolution: Barack Obama und John McCain kämpfen vor allem im Internet um Stimmen, werben auf MySpace und sammeln so Millionen an Spendengeldern und rekrutieren eine Armee von Graswurzelaktivisten. Tobias Moorstedt erkundet in seiner Reportage, wie die politische Software den demokratischen Prozeß verändert. Er trifft junge Texaner, die durch das Netz mit liberalen Gedanken in Kontakt kommen, begleitet Bürgerjournalisten und spricht mit Internetstrategen und Bloggern – den Meinungsführern des 21. Jahrhunderts.

This book examines how Ireland's relationship with the EU was affected by a succession of crises in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The financial crisis, the Brexit crisis and the migration crisis were not of equal significance on the island of Ireland. The financial crisis was a huge issue for the Republic but not Northern Ireland, Brexit had a major impact in both polities, the migration and populism issues were less controversial, while foreign policy challenges had a minimal impact. The book provides a summary of the main features of each of the crises to be considered, from both the EU and the Irish perspective. Ireland and the European Union is the first volume of its kind to provide a comprehensive analysis on British-Irish relations in the context of Brexit. It assesses the Withdrawal Agreement and Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, the devolution settlement and the 1998 Agreement, as well as the European dimension to Northern Ireland's peace process. The contributors explore a number of policy areas that are central to the understanding of each of the crises and the impact of each for Ireland. Chapters examine issues such as security, migration and taxation as well as protest politics, political parties, the media, public opinion and the economic impact of each of these crises on Ireland's relationship with the EU.

During the first half of the twentieth century, world politics was reshaped in pursuit of a new international order. The ideological foundations of the 'new diplomacy' (and its fate during the interwar period) are well known. This book instead examines the practices of internationalism and diplomacy from the First Hague Conference of 1899 to the aftermath of the Second World War. By focusing on these practices, such as disarmament regimes or public diplomacy, and their use as instruments to build international order(s), it emphasises the constructed, contested, and experimental character of what subsequently became a standard repertoire of international politics. Essays from a range of interdisciplinary scholars address well-established principles such as self-determination, and also less prominent practices such as small arms control or parliamentary inquiry. The book makes a major contribution to the growing historiography on twentieth-century internationalism.

This highly original book constitutes one of the first attempts to examine the problem of distributive justice in the European Union in a systematic manner. João Labareda argues that the set of shared political institutions at EU level, including the European Parliament and the Court of Justice of the EU, generate democratic duties of redistribution among EU citizens. Furthermore, the economic structure of the EU, comprising a common market, a common currency and a free-movement area, triggers duties of reciprocity among member states. The responsibilities to fulfil these duties, Labareda argues, should be shared by the local, national and supranational levels of government. Not only should the EU act as a safety net to the national welfare systems, applying the principle of subsidiarity, but common market and Eurozone regulations should balance their efficiency targets with fair cooperation terms. The concrete policy proposals presented in this book include a threshold of basic goods for all EU citizens, an EU labour code, a minimum EU corporate tax rate and an EU fund for competitiveness. Labarada argues that his proposals match the political culture of the member states, are economically feasible, can be translated into functioning institutions and policies and are consistent with the limited degree of social solidarity in Europe. This book is a major contribution to the understanding of what a just Europe would look like and what it might take to get us there. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10, Reduced inequalities

"Flowing Ideologies" is a detailed and unexpected history of ideas in Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries. The book is about how the concepts and metaphors born in the era of the French Revolution continued to live in the totalitarian ideologies of the 20th century, how the concepts of going through death, the holy criminal, the victim-messiah, the renewing catastrophe feed the history of the last two centuries, inspiring ideological allies and antipodes. It is also a detailed and ruthless analysis of the main ideological monsters of our time: racism, communism, Nazism, fascism, and their mixtures. The book is written on the crossroad of different disciplines: philosophy, history of ideas, political science and history of literature.
