Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2009Romania and the European Union
How the weak vanquished the strong
by Tom Gallagher
According to Tom Gallagher, Romania's predatory rulers, the heirs of the sinister communist dictator Ceausescu, have inflicted a humiliating defeat on the European Union. He argues convincingly that Brussels was tricked into offering full membership to this Balkan country in return for substantial reforms which its rulers now refuse to carry out. This book unmasks the failure of the EU to match its visionary promises of transforming Romania with the shabby reality. Benefiting from access to internal reports and leading figures involved in a decade of negotiations, it shows how Eurocrats were outwitted by unscrupulous local politicians who turned the EU's multi-level decision-making processes into a laughing-stock. The EU's famous 'soft power' turned out to be a mirage, as it was unable to summon up the willpower to insist that this key Balkan state embraced its standards of behaviour in the political and economic realms. The book unravels policy failures in the areas of justice, administrative and agricultural reform and shows how Romania moved backwards politically during the years of negotiations. ;

October 2018Krieg im Kaukasus
Die kaukasische Prosa
by Lew Tolstoj, Rosemarie Tietze, Rosemarie Tietze, Rosemarie Tietze
Vom Leben auf dem Landgut der Familie angeödet, begleitete der junge Lew Tolstoi 1851 seinen ältesten Bruder Nikolai, der im Kaukasus dient, an seinen Einsatzort – Starogladkowskaja, eine Kosakensiedlung am Terek. Seit Jahrzehnten führte das russische Imperium in der Region Krieg. Erst 1859 gelingt es, die von Imam Schamil geeinten muslimischen Kaukasusfürstentümer zu besiegen. Doch um welchen Preis! Tolstoi, der als Fähnrich an Gefechten teilnahm und verwundet wurde, kennt den Krieg und seine Akteure aus eigener Anschauung. Er beschreibt die Tragödie aus allen Perspektiven: an der Seite russischer Soldaten, die zum Freizeitvergnügen ein tschetschenisches Dorf zerstören, und neben den untröstlichen Überlebenden, die in den Trümmern ihrer Behausungen hocken. Mit scharfer Beobachtungsgabe und ethnographischem Blick schildert er die Faszinationsgeschichte der »Kaukasier«, der russischen Abenteurer, die sich, bestrickt von der stolzen Schönheit und Unbezwingbarkeit der Bergbewohner, auf ein Leben einlassen, an dessen Fremdheit sie scheitern. Ein Werk mit dem Titel »Krieg im Kaukasus« hat Tolstoi nie geschrieben. Aber er hat sein Leben lang über den Kaukasus geschrieben. Der Band konfrontiert den frühen mit dem späten Tolstoi. Von der nüchtern protokollhaften frühen Prosa von Überfall (1852) und Holzschlag (1855) bis zu den romanhaft farbigen Kosaken (1863), dem harten mündlichen Duktus des Gefangenen im Kaukasus (1872) und dem in Montagetechnik verfassten Hadschi Murat (postum 1912) – in Rosemarie Tietzes Neuübersetzung werden sie erstmal in ihrer stilistischen Bandbreite und ihrem sprachlichen Reichtum erfahrbar.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2013Britain and Africa Under Blair
In pursuit of the good state
by Julia Gallagher
Africa was a key focus of Britain's foreign policy under Tony Blair. Military intervention in Sierra Leone, increases in aid and debt relief, and grand initiatives such as the Commission for Africa established the continent as a place in which Britain could 'do good'. Britain and Africa under Blair: in pursuit of the good state critically explores Britain's fascination with Africa. It argues that, under New Labour, Africa represented an area of policy that appeared to transcend politics. Gradually, it came to embody an ideal state activity around which politicians, officials and the wider public could coalesce, leaving behind more contentious domestic and international issues. Building on the story of Britain and Africa under Blair, the book, now available in paperback, draws wider conclusions about the role of 'good' and idealism in foreign policy. In particular, it discusses how international relationships provide opportunities to create and pursue ideals, and why they are essential for the well-being of political communities. It argues that state actors project the idea of 'good' onto idealised, distant objects, in order to restore a sense of the 'good state'. The book makes a distinctive and original contribution to debates about the role of ethics in international relations, and will be of particular interest to academics, policy-makers and students of international relations, Africa and British foreign policy, as well as anyone interested in ethics in international affairs. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2020Europe's path to crisis
Disintegration via monetary union
by Tom Gallagher
The EU's single currency crisis and the ensuing human costs have led to Europe's biggest disaster since 1945. This book examines each of its stages and the political and social impact, and reveals the longer-term origins of the crisis, particularly the failure of elites to promote a genuine European partnership grounded in democratic values and a desire to co-exist with a national outlook. The author defends an orderly retreat from the existing model of monetary union, arguing that an alternative is needed in order for countries enduring a prolonged slump to recover, and recommending that EU chiefs should also treat the nation-state as a partner in a common emergency that needs to be overcome. This jargon-free, insightful and long-term analysis of a dangerous crisis is an invaluable book for academics and students alike. It is also an effective tool for policy-makers, citizens and business people who require an accessible and in-depth appraisal of a continuing catastrophe.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2013The Black Death
by Rosemary Horrox
This series provides texts central to medieval studies courses and focuses upon the diverse cultural, social and political conditions that affected the functioning of all levels of medieval society. Translations are accompanied by introductory and explanatory material and each volume includes a comprehensive guide to the sources' interpretation, including discussion of critical linguistic problems and an assessment of recent research on the topics covered. From 1348 to 1350 Europe was devastated by an epidemic that left between a third and one half of the population dead. This source book traces, through contemporary writings, the calamitous impact of the Black Death in Europe, with a particular emphasis on its spread across England from 1348 to 1349. Rosemary Horrox surveys contemporary attempts to explain the plague, which was universally regarded as an expression of divine vengeance for the sins of humankind. Moralists all had their particular targets for criticism. However, this emphasis on divine chastisement did not preclude attempts to explain the plague in medical or scientific terms. Also, there was a widespread belief that human agencies had been involved, and such scapegoats as foreigners, the poor and Jews were all accused of poisoning wells. The final section of the book charts the social and psychological impact of the plague, and its effect on the late-medieval economy.

October 2007Das Puschkinhaus
Roman
by Andrej Bitow, Rosemarie Tietze, Rosemarie Tietze
Leningrad, November 1961. Am Morgen nach den Revolutionsfeierlichkeiten tobt der Wind durch die ausgestorbene Stadt, reißt das Fenster eines kleinen Palais auf und entdeckt den Philologen Ljowa Odojewzew tot am Boden seines verwüsteten Arbeitszimmers liegend, eine Duellpistole Puschkins in der Hand. Mit dieser Szene beginnt Andrej Bitows legendärer Roman, der neben Nabokovs Gabe, Bulgakows Meister und Margarita und Jerofejews Moskva – Petuški zu den prägenden Büchern einer neuen Autorengeneration in Rußland gehörte. Ljowa, Sproß eines Adelsgeschlechts, ein indifferenter „Held unserer Zeit“, zwischen verschiedenen Frauen hin- und hergerissen, hat sich in der Gelehrtenexistenz eingerichtet. Erschüttert von der Begegnung mit dem Großvater, der dreißig Jahre in Arbeitslagern zugebracht hat, wählt Ljowa dennoch den Weg seines Vaters. „Väter und Söhne“ verbindet die Einsicht, daß Flucht, Untreue und Verrat lebensnotwendig sind…
