Structural Adjustment, Riots and the Break With the IMF
On May Day 1987, Zambian president Kenneth Kaunda publicly announced to stop adhering to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after years of following its prescriptions for economic policy reform. Zambian politicians and newspapers assisted by accusing the Bretton Woods institutions of being ‘neocolonialist organizations’ and forcing the country to implement a painful ‘structural adjustment program’ (SAP). Agency seemed to rest exclusively with …
Forced Labour and Transimperial Connections
The colonial project required the construction of infrastructure both to integrate overseas territories into the global economy and to make colonial rule possible. Building telegraph lines, ports and railroads necessitated large numbers of workers, making the ‘labour question’ the central challenge facing colonial powers. This article scrutinizes two railway construction projects in early twentieth-century German Southwest Africa: the privately c…
Der Kaiser, das Berliner Schloss und der deutsche Kolonialismus
Der Artikel knüpft an die Debatten um die Rolle Wilhelms II. im Kaiserreich und des Humboldt Forums an und fragt nach der Bedeutung des Monarchen und des Berliner Schlosses für den deutschen Kolonialismus. Dazu nimmt er drei konkrete Episoden in den Blick: Er beginnt mit einer Untersuchung des Genozids an den Herero und der Frage, welchen Anteil der Kaiser an der extremen Radikalisierung der Gewalt in Deutsch-Südwestafrika hatte. Anschließend rüc…
Le précurseur de « La querelle des historiens 2.0 ». Le débat sur les possibles continuités entre la violence coloniale et nazie dans les années 2000
Lorsque, à l’été 2021, ce que l’on a appelé la querelle des historiens 2.0 a atteint sa phase la plus intense, son protagoniste, l’historien australien A. Dirk Moses, a fait remarquer que vingt ans auparavant, un débat similaire sur la relation entre violence coloniale et violence de masse nazie avait déjà été mené, et qu’il avait anticipé bon nombre des arguments actuels. Le présent article met en lumière ce débat historiographique central des a…
A Transimperial History of Policing in Britain and the United States
Between Panic and Feelings of Empowerment
The 1973/74 oil crisis, comprising an Arab oil embargo targeting Western industrialized states and the quadrupling of global oil prices by OPEC, was followed by a major international debate on the establishment of a New International Economic Order in the years to come. This debate not only made it to the top of the international agenda given certain emotional reactions to and perceptions of the first oil crisis in different groups of countries: …

Der »Hererokrieg« und die Genozidfrage. Ein Überblick über die neueren Forschungen
A Sad Fiasco
Only in recent years has the history of European colonial concentration camps in Africa—in which thousands of prisoners died in appalling conditions—become widely known beyond a handful of specialists. Although they preceded the Third Reich by many decades, the camps’ newfound notoriety has led many to ask to what extent they anticipated the horrors of the Holocaust. Were they designed for mass killing, a misbegotten attempt at modernization, or …

Der verspätete Schock
While the first “oil shock” of 1973 / 74 has been extensively researched by historians, the crisis’ impact on oil-importing countries of the “Third World” has received relatively little attention. The article deals with this lacuna by considering the exemplary case of Zambia. It asks how this central African country perceived the oil crisis and dealt with its effects and how it was influenced by it in the medium term. Comparing the country with b…
