      The Official Record

      Oversight, national security and democracy

      by Peter Finn, Robert Ledger

      The construction, control and preservation of the Official Record is inherently contested. Those seeking greater openness and (democratic) accountability argue 'sunlight is [...] the best of disinfectants', while others seek stricter information control because, to their mind, sound government arises when advice and policy are formulated secretly. This edited volume explores the intersection of the Official Record, oversight, national security and democracy. Through US, UK and Canadian case studies, this volume will benefit higher level undergraduate readers and above to explore the Official Record in the context of the national security operations of democratic states. All chapters are research-based pieces of original writing that feature a document appendix containing primary documents (often excerpts) that are key to a chapter's narrative. As a result, this book interrogates the boundaries between national security, accountability, oversight, and the Official Record.

      Der Berg des bösen Rates

      by Amos Oz, Ruth Achlama

      Amos Oz richtet in der 1976 entstandenen Erzählung Der Berg des bösen Rates sein Augenmerk auf die Zeit unmittelbar vor der Gründung des Staates Israel. Im Mai 1946 werden der aus Schlesien 1932 nach Palästina eingewanderte Veterinärmediziner Hans Kipnis und seine aus Warschau stammende Frau Ruth zu einem Ball im Palast des Britischen Hochkommissars für Palästina eingeladen. Beide nehmen die Einladung zu dem Fest auf dem Berg des bösen Rates an, und im Verlaufe des Abends treffen beide eine existentielle Entscheidung - eine Entscheidung, die Ausdruck ihrer Elinstellung zu der sich abzeichnenden Gründung des Staates Israel ist. In dieser vielstimmigen, nach dem klassischen Muster der Novelle komponierten Erzählung ruft Amos Oz die unterschiedlichen Erwartungen der europäischen Einwanderer in Palästina vor der Gründung des Staates Israel in Erinnerung.

      Protestant devotional identities in early modern England

      by Elizabeth Clarke, Robert W. Daniel

      This international and interdisciplinary volume investigates Protestant devotional identities in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. Divided into two sections, the book examines the 'sites' where these identities were forged - the academy, printing house, household, theatre and prison - and the 'types' of texts that expressed them - spiritual autobiographies, religious poetry and writings tied to the ars moriendi - providing a broad analysis of social, material and literary forms of devotion during England's Long Reformation. Through archival and cutting-edge research, a detailed picture of 'lived religion' emerges, which re-evaluates the pietistic acts and attitudes of well-known and recently discovered figures. To those studying and teaching religion and identity in early modern England, and anyone interested in the history of religious self-expression, these chapters offer a rich and rewarding read.
