"Generation" has become a central concept of cultural, historical and social studies. This book analyses how this concept is currently used and how it relates to memory and constructions of historical meaning from educational, historical, legal and political perspectives. Attempts to compare different national generations or to elaborate boundary-crossing, transnational generations still constitute an exception. In trying to fill this gap, this collection of essays concentrates on one crucial moment of "the age of extremes" and on one specific generation: the year 1945 and its progressive politicians and intellectuals. Focusing on Italy, West Germany and France, it suggests that the concept of generation should be regarded as an open question in space and time. Therefore, this volume asks what role generation played in the intellectual and political debates of 1945: if it facilitated change, if it served as source of solidarity and cohesion and how post-war societies organized their time.

This book addresses memory politics and their evolution as an academic discipline, including memory studies. It explores national and international debates about conflicting interpretations of the recent past, including WWII remembering, the annexation of Ukraine, the reformed history teaching in Putin’s Russia, Historikerstreit and the holocaust in Germany, and the legacy and role of nuclear weapons in international relations in the USA in the context of the so called New Cold War.

Town twinning refers to the postwar phenomenon of administrative exchange between analogous municipalities. Cold War-related research has mostly interpreted it as an instrument to pursue European integration, or to solidify détente "from below". However, municipalities were not only administrative, neutral actors, but also bearers of political content. This is particularly visible in the case of Italian towns located in the Western bloc, guided by socialist-oriented administrations, and their "twin" counterparts in the German Democratic Republic. This volume explores the connections initiated by such towns in the 1960s-1970s, focusing on socialist-specific conceptions which fueled the policies implemented by "red" municipalities, in managing local economies and social policies, but also in maintaining a lively and interconnected transnational microsociability among grassroots activists. Despite the increasing ideological divergences between Eastern and Western communists, and between Italian democratic communists and the more dogmatic and repressive, strictly pro-Soviet ones in the GDR, communication continued to flourish on the local level. The book explores what still linked the two worlds together, the "bright side of socialism": in this case, a common symbolism related to the past, practical exchanges in the present dimension, and a shared future imagination and conception of the town on the basis of a socialist horizon, built around welfare and services for citizens and workers.

Die Auseinandersetzung mit politischer Belastung gehört zu den zentralen Herausforderungen von Transformationsgesellschaften. Für die Nachkriegsdemokratien der 1940er- und 1950er-Jahre stellte sich daher die Frage, wie mit Personen verfahren werden sollte, die sich durch ihre Vergangenheit in Krieg und Diktatur kompromittiert hatten. Wer aus welchem Grund als wie schwer „belastet" angesehen wurde und welche Schlussfolgerungen sich daraus ergaben, war das Ergebnis komplexer Zuschreibungs- und Aushandlungsprozesse. Die Studie nimmt diese Aushandlungsprozesse in Frankreich, Österreich und Westdeutschland in den Blick. Sie untersucht politische Diskurse um die Sanktionierung und Amnestierung NS- und kollaborationsbelasteter Personen und fragt nach dem Zusammenhang von Be- und Entlastungsdiskursen mit demokratischen und nationalen Transformationsprozessen. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass sich politische Belastungsdiskurse in den Nachkriegsdemokratien nicht primär um individuelle Verantwortung drehten. Die Opfer spielten kaum eine Rolle. Stattdessen ging es um das Wohl der Nation und den Erfolg der Demokratie. Darauf stützten sich sowohl die Anhänger:innen als auch die Gegner:innen politischer Sanktionen.

Was lesen wir in Akten von Geheimdiensten? Welche »Wirklichkeit« und wessen »Wahrheit« lässt sich daraus rekonstruieren? Ob Akten der Staatssicherheit der DDR oder Aufzeichnungen des Verfassungsschutzes – Geheimdienstakten sind dadurch geprägt, dass ihre Verfasser die Welt als »Feind« wahrnehmen. In den Quellen der Dienste wimmelt es dementsprechend von Spionen, Konterrevolutionären oder kommunistischen Infiltranten, die den jeweils eigenen Staat in seiner Existenz zu gefährden drohen. Diese Perspektivverzerrung wird verstärkt durch die Aura des Geheimen: Geheimdienstliche Tätigkeit findet jenseits von Debatte, Kritik und Korrektur statt. Wie es gelingt, diese spezifisch geprägten Quellen dennoch für die Forschung und einen Erkenntnisgewinn zu nutzen, zeigen die Beiträge des Sammelbandes. Die Autorinnen und Autoren diskutieren vor ihrem jeweiligen disziplinären Hintergrund, wie geheimdienstliche Sprache und Eigenlogiken die Wahrnehmung von Ereignissen und Handlungen sowie die daraus abgeleiteten Strategien prägten.

A major new history of how democracy became the dominant political force in Europe in the second half of the twentieth century What happened in the years following World War II to create a democratic revolution in the western half of Europe? In Western Europe's Democratic Age, Martin Conway provides an innovative new account of how a stable, durable, and remarkably uniform model of parliamentary democracy emerged in Western Europe—and how this democratic ascendancy held fast until the latter decades of the twentieth century. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Conway describes how Western Europe's postwar democratic order was built by elite, intellectual, and popular forces. Much more than the consequence of the defeat of fascism and the rejection of Communism, this democratic order rested on universal male and female suffrage, but also on new forms of state authority and new political forces—primarily Christian and social democratic—that espoused democratic values. Above all, it gained the support of the people, for whom democracy provided a new model of citizenship that reflected the aspirations of a more prosperous society. This democratic order did not, however, endure. Its hierarchies of class, gender, and race, which initially gave it its strength, as well as the strains of decolonization and social change, led to an explosion of demands for greater democratic freedoms in the 1960s, and to the much more contested democratic politics of Europe in the late twentieth century. Western Europe's Democratic Age is a compelling history that sheds new light not only on the past of European democracy but also on the unresolved question of its future.

Ever since its first publication in 1992, The End of History and the Last Man has provoked controversy and debate. Francis Fukuyama's prescient analysis of religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes, and war is as essential for a world fighting fundamentalist terrorists as it was for the end of the Cold War. Now updated with a new afterword, The End of History and the Last Man is a modern classic.
