  • Germany's Second Reich

    Portraits and Pathways

    by James Retallack ...
    Series series German and European Studies
    Despite recent studies of imperial Germany that emphasize the empire’s modern and reformist qualities, the question remains: to what extent could democracy have flourished in Germany’s stony soil?

    Political Limits of the Authoritarian Imagination

    by James Retallack ...
    Series series German and European Studies
    Before the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, Germany was undergoing convulsive socioeconomic and political change. With unification as a nation state under Bismarck in 1871, Germany experienced the advent of mass politics, based on the principle of one man, one vote. The dynamic, diverse political culture that emerged challenged the adaptability of the 'interlocking directorate of the Right.' To serve ... Read more

  • Red Saxony

    Election battles and the Spectre of Democracy in Germany, 1860-1918

    by James Retallack ...
    Red Saxony throws new light on the reciprocal relationship between political modernization and authoritarianism in Germany over the span of six decades. Election battles were fought so fiercely in Imperial Germany because they reflected two kinds of democratization. Social democratization could not be stopped, but political democratization was opposed by many members of the German bourgeoisie. ... Read more

    German-Speaking Central Europe, 1860-1930

    Edited by David Blackbourn, James Retallack ...
    Series series German and European Studies
    What makes a person call a particular place ‘home’? Does it follow simply from being born there? Is it the result of a language shared with neighbours or attachment to a familiar landscape? Perhaps it is a piece of music, or a painting, or even a travelogue that captures the essence of home. And what about the sense of belonging that inspires nationalist or local autonomy movements? Each of these ... Read more

    Edited by Ute Planert, James Retallack ...
    Series series Publications of the German Historical Institute
    As wars and other conflicts increase on a worldwide scale, the alleged 'new wars' of the present day have taught that military victory does not necessarily result in a sustained state of peace.
