Collaborative Civil Society Organizations and Sustainable Cities
Sustainability issues are characterized by their relational nature and so require stakeholders working across sectors to integrate their interests. This article conducts an empirical examination across seven convening organizations we describe as “Collaborative Civil Society Organizations” to understand the intentional leadership activities that catalyze cross-sector social partnerships in the context of regional sustainability initiatives. Our r…
Eastern Europe in 1968
Stibbe provides a detailed analysis of East German reactions to the Prague Spring and Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. His main emphasis is on the ideological challenge that Dubček’s reforms posed to the GDR variant of state socialism, and he places this within the broader framework of triangular relations between East Germany, West Germany and Czechoslovakia. He explores East German leader Walter Ulbricht’s role in the broader War…

De-Stalinising Eastern Europe
Communist Czechoslovakia, 1945-89
This concise history gives an account of the political, cultural and social trends in Czechoslovakia from 1945 to 1989. With a focus on ordinary citizens, it is an essential contribution to the modern history of a country that is sure to play a key role in the 'new Europe'
Communist Czechoslovakia, 1945-89
New Casebook offers a selection of the most lively and innovative contemporary criticism on the four late plays commonly known as Shakespeare's 'Romances': Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale and The Tempest. New historicist, Marxist, feminist and psychoanalytic perspectives are all represented, alongside other readings that engage with less familiar issues such as nationalism, topography, religious politics and medico-moral discourse.

Popular Resistance in Communist Czechoslovakia
This article examines an important, but little-known, event in the history of post-war Czechoslovakia: the Plzeň uprising of June 1953. After outlining the context, processes and outcomes of the revolt, I argue that the disorders were less an expression of ubiquitous political and ideological resistance to the communist regime than a reflection of the disastrous socio-economic conditions and the breakdown in relations between party and workers at…
A “Polyphony of Voices“? Czech Popular Opinion and the Slánský Affair
The trial of Rudolf Slánský and his thirteen codefendants in Prague in November 1952 represented the culmination of Stalinist political terror in postwar central and eastern Europe. Ever since, it has attracted much scholarly attention focusing largely on the origins, processes, and outcomes of the trial. In this article, Kevin McDermott examines a crucial, but almost totally unresearched aspect of the affair: Czech popular reactions to Slánský's…
Stalinism and the Politics of Mobilization
Young Stalin By Simon Sebag Montefiore
Stalinism ‘From Below’
This article engages with recent western historiography on Stalinism, in particular the origins and nature of the Great Terror. I seek to contextualise the material on the Terror by re‐examining the relationship between state and society in Stalinist Russia. The partial opening of the former Soviet archives and the new ‘cultural turn’ have in many ways altered our perception of this complex relationship by revealing ‘a polyphony of voices’ among …

Archives, power and the ‘Cultural Turn’
This article explores important conceptual and historiographical issues involved in writing a contemporary study of Stalin. It examines four interrelated themes: the 'archival explosion' since 1991; Stalin's political mentality; the recent 'cultural turn' in historical writing; and the contradictions and limitations of Stalin's power. The piece is partly based on research in the Russian State Archive of Social and Political History (RGASPI). I ar…
