Authentizität und Kapitalismus: Ist Fußball ein Produkt der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft oder antikapitalistisches Phänomen
Fußball ist, wie der gesamte Sport, ein Produkt der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft. Wenn von der Faszination des Fußballs gesprochen wird, bezieht sich dies fast ausschließlich auf den von Männern betriebenen Weltklassefußball der großen europäischen Profiligen. Trotz seiner bürgerlichen Herkunft wird von Fußballfans eine Authentizität im Fußball behauptet: Echte, wahre Anhänger des Sports und eines Klubs zu sein, vertrüge sich nicht mit kapitalistisc…

Obituary: Peter Pulzer
The world of German, Austrian, and Jewish studies, but also that of comparative politics and British affairs, lost one of its great ones! Peter Pulzer lived the first nine years of his life in a turbulent Vienna witnessing a brief civil war between the Socialists and their clerical-conservative, Austro-fascist, and right-radical opponents, the triumph of Austro-Fascism, and its demise at the hand of the Nazis whose Anschluss in 1938 annulled Aust…

American soccer at a crossroad: MLS’s struggle between the exigencies of traditional American sports culture and the expectations of the global soccer community
With the formation of Major League Soccer (MLS) in 1996 the United States joined the soccer world by featuring a profession league on the very top of its soccer pyramid. However, over the past 25 years, MLS has encountered two formidable obstacle in its navigating treacherous waters.

Alive and Well into the Fourth Decade of Their Bundestag Presence: A Tally of the Greens' Impact on the Federal Republic of Germany's Political Life and Public Culture

After substantiating the Greens' proliferating presence on all levels of German politics with numbers; the article focuses on demonstrating how the Greens' key values of ecology, peace and pacifi…

In tracing his 15-year relationship with Karl W. Deutsch, Andrei S. Markovits portrays the key intellectual agendas and major scholarly contributions that formed the core of Deutsch’s academic life.

Response to Stefan Immerfall
We very much appreciate Stefan Immerfall’s insightful criticism of our recent contribution to German Politics and Society. Needless to say, we beg to differ with his views and strongly disagree with his assessment of our work. For brevity’s sake we will only engage a few points
Gaming the World: How Sports Are Reshaping Global Politics and Culture
Professional sports today have truly become a global force, a common language that anyone, regardless of their nationality, can understand. Yet sports also remain distinctly local, with regional teams and the fiercely loyal local fans that follow them. This book examines the twenty-first-century phenomenon of global sports, in which professional teams and their players have become agents of globalization while at the same time fostering deep-seat…

Obamamania and Anti-Americanism as Complementary Concepts in Contemporary German Discourse
There is no question that with Barack Obama the United States has a rock star as president who-behooving rock stars-is adored and admired the world over. His being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize nary a year after being elected president and barely ten months into his holding the office, testified to his global popularity rather than his actual accomplishments, which may well turn out to be unique and formidable. And it is equally evident that few-…

Women and the World of Dog Rescue: A Case Study of the State of Michigan
In the wake of the considerable cultural changes and societal shifts that the United States and all advanced industrial democracies have experienced since the late 1960s and early 1970s, one can also observe a dramatic change in how humans in these societies have come to relate to nonhuman animals, dogs in particular. One of the new institutions created by this change in attitude and behavior toward dogs is the canine rescue organization, example…

Civilizing the Enemy: German Reconstruction and the Invention of the West
Civilizing the Enemy: German Reconstruction and the Invention of the West. By Patrick Thaddeus Jackson. Ann Arbor: The University of Michigan Press, 2006. 286p. $27.95. Rarely have I enjoyed (and learned from) reading a book as much as this one, whose parts are quite brilliant on occasion but whose overall argument falls well short of its claim and aim. Patrick Thaddeus Jackson argues with verve and conviction that the Federal Republic of Germany…
Gerald Feldman
This is not the place for me to express my boundless admiration forthe scholarship of our dear friend and colleague, Gerald Feldman,who passed from this world far too early in the fall of 2007. Norwould I find it appropriate to address my personal friendship withGerry in these pages. I have done both elsewhere and-most importantto me-privately to Gerry's widow, Norma. Nevertheless, I dofind it more than appropriate to mention Gerry's involvement …
An Inseparable Tandem of European Identity? Anti-Americanism and Anti-Semitism in the Short and Long Run
Anti-Americanism has been part of Europe's elite discourse at least since the founding of the United States of America in 1776. However, the congruence of antipathy towards America on the mass and elite levels stems largely from events since 1990. While the policies of the administrations of George W. Bush have contributed to this convergence between elite and mass attitudes, its main reasons have been structural. European anti-Americanism has be…
Die „Olympianisierung“ des Fußballs in den USA: Von der Marginalisierung in der amerikanischen Mainstream-Kultur zur Anerkennung als ein alle vier Jahre stattfindendes Ereignis / The “Olympianization”…
In dem Beitrag wird argumentiert, dass sich aufgrund verschiedener Entwicklungen in den letzten zwanzig Jahren die Position des Fußballs in den Vereinigten Staaten im Vergleich zu seiner früheren vollständigen Marginalisierung im Sportraum Amerikas auffällig verändert hat. Zwar vermag der Fußball nirgendwo in den Vereinigten Staaten die kulturelle Vorherrschaft der nordamerikanischen „Großen Vier“ (Baseball, Football, Basketball und Eishockey) - …
Women's soccer in the United States: Yet another American ‘Exceptionalism’
Arguably, women's soccer in the United States has been among the best played and extensively watched in the world. Not only has the American national team won more international championships than any other national team, but the WUSA (Women's United States Soccer Association), a professional league, has become the top women's professional league in the world, attracting the best women soccer players from countries such as Germany, Norway, Brazil…

Nationbuilding and the Politics of Nationalism: Essays on Austrian Galicia

This volume brings together for the first time eleven essays on various aspects of the last seventy-five years of Austrian Galicia's existence. Included are general surveys on Galicia within the imperial Habsbur…
An ounce of prevention? The reform of the German trade union Federation
This article investigates the causes and content of the ongoing reform of the German Trade Union Federation (DGB). We argue that problems predating German unification ‐ in particular, a skewed demographic profile, financial crisis and waning political clout ‐ are the central factors that led German unionists to undertake reform and have largely determined the reform's content. German unification acted simply as a catalyst rather than the cause pr…
The West German 68‐ers encounter the events of 1989
Why did the German left react negatively to the events in eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in 1989/90? There are several reasons to be given: the problem the left has in dealing with nationalism, the acceptance on the part of the West German left of the GDR as a legitimate German state; the ambivalent attitude it has towards the United States, and its deeply entrenched ‘state‐fixation’. At the present time, the German left is engaged in soul‐s…

The "Olympianization" of Soccer in the United States
What the world calls "football," far and away the globe's most popular sport, has led a marginal existence as soccer in the United States, where football denotes a different game that has remained an integral part of American sports culture since the late 19th century. In the past two decades, soccer in the United States has undergone a substantial metamorphosis that has altered its former marginality without, however, giving it cultural power an…

Modell Deutschland and the New Europe
Although the end of 1992 will mark the beginning of the European Internal Market, 1989 might well be considered the year of Europe. In an earlier age it might even have been called an annus mirabilis. Not only did it see a fundamental reorganization in existing power relations in state and society, a change in elites, the redefinition of public and private, and the introduction of a new economic order in Eastern Europe, it also restored Western E…
On Anti-Americanism in West Germany
Reports of a dramatic increase in West European anti-Americanism have filled the American media in the past few years, giving casual readers the impression that the alternative and peace movements in these countries are motivated by an almost pathological hatred of the United States. Demonstrations which condemn, for example, NATO missile deployments are taken to be thinly-veiled attacks on the American way of life and are reported as such, to th…

Germany: Hegemonic power and economic gain
German economic power in Europe is uncontested. What is contested are its effects on Germany's neighbors. Accompanying the obvious benefits that accrue to Europe from German economic might are also potential disadvantages, particularly that of dependence. Data on Germany's relationship with countries in both East and West Europe shed light on this issue. This study suggests that the benefits outweigh any associated costs, thus rendering Germany a…
German Labor and Europe '92
If European labor is to become more than just a mere respondent to the immense changes which will engulf as a consequence of the introduction of the Internal Market (Europe '92 or 1992) on January 1, 1993, the German Trade Union Federation (Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund, DGB) will have to assume a position of decisive leadership. It is German labor's positions vis-a-vis Europe '92 which form the central concern of our article

Very few television series have ever enjoyed the overwhelming and controversial response as did NBC's Holocaust.

It is fair to say that in the United States, Israel, and most of Europe the film was shown among others in Great…
Fear of Science--Trust in Science: Conditions for Change in the Climate of Opinion
presenting such descriptive data, the authors in most cases identify major theoretical perspectives, predominantly functionalist, for interpretations of trends in courtship, marriage, and family. Together these are sufficient to introduce students to basic sociological approaches to the study of the family in Canada. Courses that present a more extended treatment and further development of theoretical perspectives and other salient issues, such a…

The Vicissitudes of West German Social Democracy in the Crisis of the 1980s
Avisitor to the Social Democratic Party (SPD) headquarters - the famed Barracke in Bonn - on the evening of 6 March 1983, could not help but feel a deep sense of destitution and gloom amongst the Federal Republic's Social Democrats,I Pipe-smoking intellectuals and hardened unionists alike conveyed the unmistakable feeling that the conservative victory on that Sunday in March heralded the end of an era.
