Umweltpolitischer Vorreiter
Auf der Konferenz der Vereinten Nationen für Umwelt und Entwicklung etablierte sich 1992 das Bild Deutschlands als umweltpolitischer Vorreiter. Elke Seefried zeigt anhand neu zugänglicher Quellen, wie sich Anfang der 1990er Jahre außen-, umwelt- und entwicklungspolitische Selbstverständnisse und Politiken Deutschlands veränderten. Nicht nur Umweltminister Klaus Töpfer (CDU), sondern auch zivilgesellschaftliche Akteure wirkten daran mit, eine Poli…
Jahrbuch zur Liberalismus-Forschung
The focus of this yearbook is the debate on the character and development of the German Empire. The sixteen contributions it contains, which were written on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the German Empire in 1871, assess the problems of nation-building, political models, concepts of order and processes of emancipation. What dynamics did modernisation and globalisation trigger? What opportunities, but also obstacles and …

Jenny Andersson. The Future of the World
In a trend that is fairly recent, the future has become a central issue in the humanities and has been particularly taken up in the historical sciences. Of course, historical scholarship has always drawn on the category of time, since periodization is one of its key tasks, and from the 1990s historians have been strongly influenced by studies on cultural memory that stress that the past is constantly present in everyday experience (e.g., Jan Assm…

West Germany, the Global South and the Cold War
Männer mit "Makel"
The transformation of West German society in the long 1950s led to changes in society`s understanding of masculinity. Men who were different – disabled war veterans, the homeless, homosexuals – were under pressure to conform. This book tells the stories of men who were flawed, expounds on the crisis of masculinity, and illuminates the forces that promoted and inhibited greater life-style diversity.

Rethinking Progress. On the Origin of the Modern Sustainability Discourse, 1970–2000
Rethinking Progress. On the Origin of the Modern Sustainability Discourse, 1970-2000 Sustainability has become a key concept in the national and international policy discourse, and nonetheless it has not been clearly defined. This article argues that it is precisely the vagueness of the concept that has made it so attractive for politics. Focusing on the international politics arena and the West German case, the article shows that dominating poli…
Reconfiguring the Future? Politics and Time from the 1960s to the 1980s – Introduction
Steering the future. The emergence of “Western” futures research and its production of expertise, 1950s to early 1970s
This article deals with the emergence of Futures Research after 1945 and its production of future expertise. The field of futures research (or futures studies/futurology) was conceptualised in a process of circulating knowledge in Western Europe and the USA during the 1950s and 1960s. These approaches to thinking about, forecasting and planning the future drew their arsenal of new methods largely from the field of cybernetics (such as Systems Ana…
In der Defensive
Under the National Socialist regime, Theodor Heuss was rapidly forced onto the defensive. He lost nearly all his public offices and posts, yet as a publicist Heuss continued to defend his liberal convictions. We encounter a member of the educated middle classes who attempted to carve out space for himself in a hostile political environment. These 194 selected letters, most of them previously unknown, reflect his gripping biography and the dramati…
