Beyond Va Pensiero and the Prison Notebooks. Fernanda Gallo Explains Why Modern Italian Political Thought Can Be Best Understood Through the Reception of Hegel
The review considers Fernanda Gallo's Hegel and Italian Political Thought against the background of common conceptions of Italian political thought. It reconstructs how Hegelian philosophy shaped three generations of Italian thinkers during Italy's unification and modernization (1832-1900). Challenging Anglophone historiography's focus on Mazzini and Gramsci, Gallo demonstrates how diverse political actors–from Southern revolutionaries to Norther…
A paralegal institution
This article examines the emergence of tribunals as a system for legalising the internment of ‘enemy aliens’ in Britain and the United States during the Second World War. Reconstructing how these emergent quasi-judicial structures classified and reclassified civilians, it uncovers the moral uncertainties, legal frameworks, and bureaucratic dynamics that shaped the internment practices of democratic states. The history of these tribunals also shed…
Wartime internment in camps as a global practice and experience
This double special issue examines internment camps in the First and Second World Wars as exceptional wartime social institutions which were intended to isolate and segregate groups considered threatening or undesirable but also had the unintended effect of becoming zones of knowledge transfer. The studies of internment in the world wars presented here connect to a broader historiography around cultures of confinement, carceral practices, and cam…
Loyalty and Allegiance in Baltic German Political Thought after the First World War
This article sheds light on the political thought of prominent authors belonging to Baltic German aristocratic families, examining their responses to the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the rise of the Third Reich. Focusing on the writings of authors such as the international lawyer Mikhail von Taube and the philosopher Hermann Keyserling, it examines the peculiar combination of uprootedness and cosmopolitanism which characterized th…
Rewarding mobility? Towards a realistic European policy agenda for academics at risk
This article maps from a critical and comparative perspective how scholars at risk are currently being integrated into the European research infrastructure, as well as in various EU and non-EU Member States. The focus is on three countries ranging from older to newer EU members to one non-EU member state—Hungary, Romania and the United Kingdom—as well as on EU-level organisations. We draw on twelve in-depth interviews conducted with key stakehold…

Librarians as Agents of German Foreign Policy and the Cultural Consequences of the First World War
In this article I explore the cultural impact of the First World War by analysing the work of libraries and librarians in different settings, from German-occupied Belgium and prisoner-of-war camps to Germany's own public and private libraries. By examining the work of German, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, and American librarians, the article makes a case for applying the notion of a ‘long’ First World War to cultural and intellectual history. Consi…
Gegen Deutsches K.Z. Paradies. Thinking about Englishness on the Isle of Man during the Second World War
This paper focuses on the intellectual output of the internees held captive as ‘enemy aliens’ on the Isle of Man during the Second World War. Looking at their interactions with local and national knowledge communities, including some Methodist priests who were responsible for introducing the internees to British political culture, it analyses how the social environment of internment created common intellectual experiences, which in turn led membe…
Dynasty’ in Modern German Intellectual History
This article analyses the conceptual use of terms describing dynastic rule in modern German thought. It examines three topics in which the term ‘dynasty’ specifically appears: with reference to the non-European empires, European states, and the future of democracy in Germany around 1918. Looking at a range of key thinkers with Max Weber's work as a central reference point, it engages with the question why, despite this wide usage, the influential…
Nazism Across Borders
‘Call it “militarism” if you please; it certainly raises the standards of public health’ (p. 286). This citation from an American report about Nazi approaches to social policy at the time of the New Deal captures one of the leitmotifs of this volume, edited by Sandrine Kott and Kiran Klaus Patel, which makes a novel contribution to the understanding of Nazi rule in transnational and global contexts. Examining regions with different types of relat…
Changes of status in states of political uncertainty
This article critically examines existing versions of recognition theory in the light of several empirical case studies of twentieth-century political ruptures after the First World War. It notes that the prevalent theoretical focus on the enfranchisement of previously subaltern groups cannot account for the empirical significance of negative processes, such as the disenfranchisement of former elites and the decline of previously hegemonic values…
Europe’s Utopias of Peace
The ambition of this book by Bo Stråth is to provide an historical aetiology of Europe’s political identity crisis. It is a pre-Brexit book, but it does cover some other recent tensions, drawing attention to the fraught relationship between nationalism, democracy and political economy in the European project from its inception in the decade following the Second World War to the present. Stråth understands ‘crisis’ in the spirit of Reinhart Kosell…
Mediterranean Diasporas
A locus classicissimus of European historiography, in the history of modern political thought the Mediterranean has often been surprisingly sidelined. With the exception of Mazzini, Gramsci and a few other figures, few names belong to the general knowledge in this field, and fewer still come from the non-European part of the region. This volume, edited by Maurizio Isabella and Konstantina Zanou, breaks new ground by introducing a wide range of in…
German Cosmopolitan
Parsing the title of this book might be slightly difficult at first, so it is worth explaining its unusual complexity even in today’s age of anti-poetic academic book titles. This book is not about Germany itself, but about a certain tradition of thinking about society which emerged in late imperial and Weimar Germany, eventually to become so widespread globally that its original German context has been obscured. The ‘thought’ in question is cosm…
The Global Chancellor
Just before Helmut Schmidt (b. 1918) died in November 2015, he could look back on thirty years of formal political service, which had culminated in his chancellorship (1974–82), and thirty years of informal influence as a retired Chancellor—a public role which he eventually formalised by becoming chief editor of the eminent weekly Die Zeit (1983–2015). The German press commented on the stark contrast between his progressively declining authority …
Max Weber and the Protestant Ethic
In this stunning work of intellectual archaeology, Peter Ghosh presents a new reading of Weber’s thought through the vanishing-point of the Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1905) (PE). Some might say that Economy and Society, which Marianne Weber posthumously assembled in 1920, as well as his late essays in global intellectual history, superseded the PE in terms of intellectual significance. But Ghosh insists that Weber never lost s…
