April 2004Die europäische Stadt
by Walter Siebel
In den kurzen goldenen Jahren nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg schien die europäische Stadt der Modellfall eines sozial ausgeglichenen, kulturell integrierten und prosperierenden Gemeinwesens. Heute wird ihr Ende vorhergesagt. Ihre Gestalt verliert sich in einem gesichtslosen Siedlungsbrei. Der öffentliche Raum wird privatisiert. Leerstehende Wohnungen und Industriebrachen reißen Lücken in das städtische Gefüge. Es entstehen abgeschottete Quartiere der Armen und der Einwanderer. Die Globalisierung, die Macht der Immobilienentwickler und die Finanzmisere stellen die europäische Stadt als eine Bastion des Wohlfahrtsstaats in Frage. Aber es gibt auch soziale, kulturelle, ökonomische und politische Gegentendenzen. Sie werden in diesem Band diskutiert, der sich an Stadtplaner, Stadtpolitiker und alle stadtpolitisch Interessierten ebenso richtet wie an Architekten und Sozialwissenschaftler. Beiträger sind u. a. Dieter Läpple, Peter Marcuse, Enzo Mingione, Claus Offe, Saskia Sassen, Thomas Sieverts und Erika Spiegel.

Literature & Literary Studies2021Bad Roads
by Nataliia Vorozhbyt
Nataliia Vorozhbyt became famous when she worked as a screenwriter on the cult TV series To Catch the Kaidash, based on the life of the Ukrainian classic writer Nechuy-Levytsky, and even played a role in it as a supporting actress. Her play Bad Roads was written for the Royal Court Theatre in London; it was also staged by the Kyiv Academic Theatre of Drama and Comedy and later adapted into a hit film. Bad Roads consists of six episodes: they are the stories of ordinary men and women whose fate brought them to Donbas during the Russo-Ukrainian war. Some episodes have even shocked audiences, like the episode where a naked eighth-grade schoolgirl is found in a military dugout. Disputes over Bad Roads are still raging, but they only manage to increase interest in Vorozhbyt’s work.

Biography & True StoriesJune 2023Love, Dad
by Valeriy Puzik
He could have been showing his son the world, and just stayed by his side. Instead, he joined the army to protect his country in the Russo-Ukrainian war. Despite the exhausting days of combat, the main character doesn’t forget that he is a father, too. This book came to be as a conversation with the son who remains far away, yet always close — in his father’s heart. The book doesn’t include battle scenes or combat descriptions. Valeriy Puzik tries to demonstrate that even at the time of the most ruthless wars, a human remains at the center of everything. He leads readers through fragments of memories, reflections about today, and dreams about the future, creating his own battlefield reality. This book is about the here and now that thousands of soldiers experience during the war. It’s a raw nerve that leaves no space for feelings of indifference towards the world around. It’s a narrow path over the precipice that must be crossed to finally see the light — children, loved ones, and a peaceful homeland.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2022Germany's Russia problem
The struggle for balance in Europe
by John Lough
The relationship between Germany and Russia is Europe's most important link with the largest country on the continent. But despite Germany's unparalleled knowledge and historical experience, its policymakers struggle to accept that Moscow's efforts to rebalance Europe at the cost of the cohesion of the EU and NATO are an attack on Germany's core interests. This book explains the scale of the challenge facing Germany in managing relations with a changing Russia. It analyses how successive German governments from 1991 to 2014 misread Russian intentions, until Angela Merkel sharply recalibrated German and EU policy towards Moscow. The book also examines what lies behind efforts to revise Merkel's bold policy shift, including attitudes inherited from the GDR and the role of Russian influence channels in Germany.
