This fifth volume advances the frontier of transnational history into early modern times. The six chapters of this volume explore topics and themes from early modern times to the fall of Communism. This volume includes chapters about the Huguenots and Sephardi Jews as transnational nations in the seventeenth and eighteent…
Patronage
The term “patronage” has been used by artists and scholars alike, over the centuries, to refer to a mutually beneficial relationship between art patron and artist. Patrons provided support for artists and the arts in general in order to enhance their social and political standing and their visibility. Artists were willing to accept that support in order to have the ability to engage in creative work. Within scholarly discourse in the second half …
The Genesis and Proliferation of Civil Society in Democracy and Monarchy
The notion that civil society and democracy go hand in hand has been a cornerstone of modernization theory. The formation of civil society, so the argument went, contributed to the democratization of society and provided the backbone of democracy. If one follows such an interpretation of modernization and of modern society, monarchic systems should be void of civil society. And yet, the case of Germany shows that civil society developed and even …
Ludwig Andreas Jordan und das Pfälzer Weinbürgertum
Henning Türk’s biographical study of the successful vineyard owner and investor, Ludwig Andreas Jordan, from the Palatinate region expands our knowledge about the growth of bourgeois culture and bourgeois society in nineteenth-century Germany significantly. Locating his study on what the author calls the periphery, Türk studies the activities of Jordan in a historical space—the Palatinate—that was shaped by the absence of a local nobility due to …
Philanthropy, Civil Society, and the State in German History, 1815-1989
The first book to provide the English-speaking reader with the revisionist interpretation of the role of the state and philanthropy in Germany that is increasingly embraced by German historians. Largely unnoticed among English-speaking scholars of German history, a major shift in interpretation of German history has been underway during the past three decades among German historians of Germany. While American and British historians continue to su…

Republished research: Implementation research: what it is and how to do it
The field of implementation research is growing, but it is not well understood despite the need for better research to inform decisions about health policies, programmes, and practices. This article focuses on the context and factors affecting implementation, the key audiences for the research, implementation outcome variables that describe various aspects of how implementation occurs, and the study of implementation strategies that support the d…
Country progress towards the Millennium Development Goals
BACKGROUND: The health Millennium Development Goals (4, 5, 6) impose the same ambitious 2015 targets on every country. Few low-income countries are on track to reach them. Some authors have proposed country-specific targets as a more informative method by which countries can measure their progress against their potential. METHODS: This paper demonstrates a supplementary approach to assess individual country progress that complements the global go…

Exploring the effects of task shifting for HIV through a systems thinking lens
Our analysis highlights the importance of adopting a systems thinking approach in designing, implementing and evaluating health policies to mitigate some of the design issues or system bottle-necks that may impede their successful implementation or risk to present an incomplete or misleading picture of their impact
New Ways to Write the History of Western Europe and the United States
The concept of intercultural transfer was originally developed in the 1980s for the study of exchange processes between France and Germany in the time of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. More recently, various scholars have applied it to the exchange processes across the Atlantic (and between Germany and the United States in particular) and across the British Chanel (and between Germany and Great Britain in particular). Its focus is c…
The Place of Foundations and Endowments in German History
This essay provides the very first account of the historical size and scope of German philanthropy from the mid-19th century to the 1950s. Our historical-statistical analysis of various unpublished and published sources about associations, foundations, and endowments supports an interpretation that suggest that foundations and endowments were important sources of financing for many public institutions in Germany. Our article dispels, thus, common…
Evaluation of interventions on road traffic injuries in Peru
Our approach revealed substantial caveats in current RTI interventions in Peru, and fundamental negative effects on several components of the sectors and systems involved. It also highlighted programmatic issues that should be applied to guarantee an effective implementation and evaluation of these policies. The findings from this study were discussed with key stakeholders for consideration in further designing and planning RTI control interventi…
Profit and Philanthropy
Philanthropy and Civil Society is often identified with the activities of foundations and non-profit organizations. Susannah Morris pointed out already that nineteenth century philanthropy included many forms of organization which we today would not identify as philanthropic in nature. The most important such form of philanthropy was the “Philanthropy and Five Percent” model which favored stock companies in the alleviation of poverty. English, Ge…
When 'solutions of yesterday become problems of today
Implementation of policies (decisions) in the health sector is sometimes defeated by the system's response to the policy itself. This can lead to counter-intuitive, unanticipated, or more modest effects than expected by those who designed the policy. The health sector fits the characteristics of complex adaptive systems (CAS) and complexity is at the heart of this phenomenon. Anticipating both positive and negative effects of policy decisions, un…
Systems thinking for strengthening health systems in LMICs
Health systems are complex. Failing to take this complexity into account will continue to hinder efforts to achieve better and more equitable health outcomes. Understanding and working with complexity requires a paradigm shift from linear reductionist approaches to dynamic and holistic approaches that appreciate the multifaceted and interconnected relationships among health system components as well as the views interests and power of its differe…
Evaluating health systems strengthening interventions in low-income and middle-income countries
In recent years, there have been several calls for rigorous health policy and systems research to inform efforts to strengthen health systems (HS) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including the use of systems thinking concepts in designing and evaluating HS strengthening interventions. The objectives of this paper are to assess recent evaluations of HS strengthening interventions to examine the extent to which they ask a broader set o…
Der unverzichtbare Beitrag von Stiftungen zur Finanzierung des höheren Schulwesens in Preuβen im 19. Jahrhundert
This article investigates the funding of secondary schools in 19th-century Prussia which came from foundations and endowments given to these schools by private citizens and noblemen for various purposes. Such endowments were intended to provide scholarships for students attending secondary schools, and after finishing school for attending university as well as tuition waivers. Other endowments were intended for paying the salary of teachers, prov…
Estrategias para aumentar el impacto de la investigación sobre recursos humanos para la salud en la elaboración de politicas
Despite global recognition of the importance of human resources for health (HRH) in achieving health system goals, very little is known about what works, for whom and under what circumstances, especially for low-income and middle-income countries. Several important events and reports have called for increased funding and capacity for HRH research in recent years and several initiatives have started as a result. Progress has been slow, however. Th…

Out-of-pocket payments for under-five health care in rural southern Tanzania
Catastrophic payments and fairness in financial contributions for health care are becoming increasing concerns for many governments. Out-of-pocket financing for health care is common in many developing countries, including Tanzania. As part of the Multi-Country Evaluation of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (MCE-IMCI), the objective of this paper is to explore the determinants of variation and the level of out-of-pocket payments for…

Stiften in deutschen Bürgerstädten vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg
This article suggests that in Imperial Germany with regards to its political and social consequences two differentmodes of philanthropy emerged: (1) state-centered philanthropy in court cities (Residenzstädte) where philanthropy was dominated and guided by the ruler and (2) society-centered philanthropy in bourgeois cities (Bürgerstädte) where philanthropy helped develop a true civil society and a self-confident bourgeoisie that was eager to shap…
Capacity constraints to the adoption of new interventions
Information on how health workers spend their time can help programme managers determine whether it is possible to add new services or activities to their schedules and at what cost. One set of interventions with the potential to reduce under-five mortality is training of facility-based health workers according to the guidelines for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI), along with improvements to supervision, procurement and informat…

Preussen und die USA, 1850 bis 1867
Enno Eimers's book is part of a larger project on Prussian-American relations from 1775 to 1867 that aims to close an important gap in our understanding of German-American relations in the nineteenth century. While we know much about the relations between the port city of Bremen and the United States, the field of Prussian-American relations has failed so far to attract the interest of German scholars. Eimers's goal was to provide a comprehensive…

Stand der Planungspraxis in Deutschland – Ergebnisse einer Erhebung bei den öffentlichen Trägern der Jugendhilfe
Die letzten Erhebungen zum Stand der Jugendhilfeplanung in Deutschland liegen schon einige Jahre zurück. Nachdem Kreft/Lukas1990 noch erhoben hatten, dass nur 65,0 % aller Jugendämter im Jahr 1988 (also vor dem KJHG) Jugendhilfeplanung betrieben haben, ergab eine Untersuchung von Simon 1997, dass im Jahr 1996 bereits 78,0 % aller Jugendämter und sogar 95,5 % der Großstadtjugendämter sich als planende Jugendämter bezeichneten. Neben diesen bundesw…
