Die Deutschen und die Revolutionen
Nazi Constitutional Designs
This article examines the state secretaries’ meetings as an instrument of government in Nazi Germany. They are mostly known as the forum at which the infamous Wannsee Conference took place, but here the 20 January 1942 meeting will be situated in a context previously ignored by historians by showing that such gatherings were an increasingly regular occurrence during the ‘Third Reich’, and that a range of policy issues were discussed there – not j…
Johannes Krohn and the German Social Insurance System under Democracy and Dictatorship
This article tells the story of how the social insurance system survived the upheavals of the twentieth century from the perspective of Johannes Krohn. Known mainly as the state secretary in the Labour Ministry under Nazism, Krohn was a leading authority on social insurance, and the article will highlight his central role in withstanding efforts to reform it in the Weimar Republic, the “Third Reich” and the Federal Republic. It will argue that he…
Self-Coordination’ and Its Origins
This article situates civil servants’ responses to regime change in 1933 in their longer-term context. Focusing particularly on the process of ‘self-coordination’ – a term used by historians to describe and explain ministerial bureaucrats’ voluntary adaptation to changed political circumstances by implementing the Third Reich's policy agenda – it argues that this process was far from unique, being in fact the typical response to regime change thr…
The Will of the Führer? Financing Construction for the 1936 Olympics
This article examines how construction for the 1936 Olympic Games was funded. Based on a range of previously untapped sources, it fills an important gap in the literature by examining how the Nazi regime financed signature infrastructure projects like the Olympic Stadium and the German Sports Forum, which together hosted most major sporting events during the Games. It also challenges the Nazi propaganda image, unchecked due to a lack of scholarly…
Power without Responsibility
In recent years, much attention has been paid to the rise of political populism and its relationship to neoliberalism and neoconservatism hitherto dominant in the West. In particular, some have speculated that populism is a reaction against the failures of the neoliberal internationalist project, or capitalist globalization. Even so, clearly the new populists on the political Right do not stand opposed to, or outside, capitalism itself. Theirs is…
Back to the future
We begin this paper by outlining the 'classical' debate on the idea of a university. We then proceed to show how this intellectual ideal has been compromised by successive processes of reform privileging paradigms of managerialism and commodification at the expense of intellectualism in shaping and defining UK higher education, with equivalent processes at work in other countries. This serves to set the context for our central premise that an int…
On the Sociology of Human Rights
This article defends the claim that human rights is a legitimate subject of inquiry for sociologists, and proceeds to present the case for a particular application of sociological theory to the understanding of gross human rights violations. Sociology, it claims, is equipped to study the dynamics of social institutions - socially constructed language-structures within which social action is framed - and since the mid-20th century, human rights ha…
