During his political career, Helmut Kohl used his own life story to promote a normalization of German nationalism and to overcome the stigma of the Nazi period. In the context of the cold war and the memory of the fascist past, he was able to exploit the combination of his religious, generational, regional, and educational (he has a PhD in History) experiences by connecting nationalist ideas to particular biographical narratives. Kohl presented himself as the embodiment of “normality”: a de-radicalized German nationalism which was intended to eclipse any anti-Western and post-national peculiarities. This book takes a biographical approach to the study of nationalism by examining its manifestation in Helmut Kohl and the way he historicized Germany’s past.

Back in 1989, many anticipated that the end of the Cold War would usher in the ‘end of history’ characterized by the victory of democracy and capitalism. At the thirtieth anniversary of this momentous event, this book challenges this assumption. It studies the most recent era of contemporary European history in order to analyse the impact, consequences and legacy of the end of the Cold War for Western Europe. Bringing together leading scholars on the topic, the volume answers the question of how the end of the Cold War has affected Western Europe and reveals how it accelerated and reinforced processes that shaped the fragile (geo-)political and economic order of the continent today. In four thematic sections, the book analyses the changing position of Germany in Europe; studies the transformation of neoliberal capitalism; answers the question how Western Europe faced the geopolitical challenges after the Berlin Wall came down; and investigates the crisis of representative democracy. As such, the book provides a comprehensive and novel historical perspective on Europe since the late 1980s.

Die erste historische Studie über eine der bedeutendsten rechtsextremen Parteien in Deutschland. Ausgezeichnet mit dem renommierten Hans-Rosenberg-Gedächtnispreis. Die Geschichte rechter Parteien in Deutschland nach 1945 fristete lange Zeit ein Nischendasein unter Historikern. Erst mit dem Aufstieg der AfD wuchs das Interesse an ihren Vorläufern. Moritz Fischer nimmt eine mittlerweile fast vergessene Partei in den Blick: die Republikaner. Unter ihrem Vorsitzenden Franz Schönhuber verbuchten sie zwischen 1983 und 1994 mehrere Wahlerfolge und galten einige Zeit als die wichtigste rechtsextreme Partei in Deutschland. Anhand neuer Quellen, unter anderem des Nachlasses des Parteimitbegründers Franz Schönhuber, blickt der Autor auf das Innenleben dieser Partei. Er analysiert die Gründe für ihren Aufstieg und untersucht den politischen, gesellschaftlichen, kulturellen und juristischen Umgang mit ihr. Es gelingt ihm nicht nur, Wahlerfolge rechtsextremer Parteien und das aktuelle Zeitgeschehen besser verständlich zu machen, sondern auch, von bislang wenig beleuchteten Schattenseiten in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik zu erzählen. »Die Dissertation von Moritz Fischer verdient ohne Einschränkung das Prädikat ›Pionierstudie‹. Sie ist [...] höchst anschaulich, gut zu lesen und, nicht zuletzt, im Hinblick auf die Umfrage- und Wahlerfolge der AfD, überaus aktuell.« (Heinrich August Winkler, Historiker)

Rechtsintellektuelle Netzwerke versuchten bereits in der frühen Bundesrepublik, das Stigma der NS-Vergangenheit abzulegen und Einfluss zu erlangen. Amerikabilder erwiesen sich hierfür als wirkmächtiges und etabliertes Instrument: Kapitalismus, Individualismus oder Demokratie waren bereits in der Weimarer Republik als Folgen einer erzwungenen »Amerikanisierung« abgelehnt worden. Im Kalten Krieg standen solch stereotype Feindbilder im ideologischen Spannungsfeld mit dem identitätsstiftenden Antikommunismus. Darius Harwardt blickt auf die wichtigsten Personen, Medien und Gruppierungen der »Neuen Rechten« sowie auf deren Weltbilder und Widersprüche – von ihren Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart des Rechtspopulismus.

German Structural Pacifism examines the influence of Germany’s lessons of the past on its security policy since reunification in an approach that is both novel and timely in the context of the Russia-Ukraine War. Germany’s lessons of the past provide contradictory “right ways” for Germany to overcome its authoritarian past and serve to legitimate political interests in security policy decision-making. Reconciling competing political interests and contradictory narratives results in a security policy that prioritizes “the right way” to do security policy is over its effectiveness. It is the author’s great merit to have defined the past 30 years of German security policy under the term Structural Pacifism. I find this conclusive. Sönke Neitzel, Chair of Military History at the University of Potsdam An accurate depiction of Germany’s systemic neglect of its armed forces since reunification, demonstrating why it is no surprise that our armed forces are naked. A follow up including the Zeitenwende would be very interesting. Hans-Peter Barthels, President of the German Society for Security Policy The book succinctly and accurately addresses the lack of an honest debate on the use of military force in the domain of German security policy, and explores its negative impact on military decision-making from political strategy all the way down to the tactical level. Volker Wieker, Former Chief of Defense of the German Federal Armed Forces (2009-2018)

Von der "Last der Geschichte" zur "besonderen Verantwortung". Der Umgang der amerikanischen Politik, Kultur und Gesellschaft mit dem Holocaust hat dessen Nachgeschichte seit den siebziger Jahren weltweit geprägt - ob durch die Fernsehserie "Holocaust", das Washingtoner Museum, den Film "Schindlers Liste" oder die Goldhagen-Debatte. Wie hat man in Deutschland auf diese Entwicklung reagiert? Auf der Basis erstmals zugänglicher Quellen zeigt Jacob S. Eder, dass das Umfeld von Helmut Kohl, aber auch der Kanzler selbst, die zunehmende Beschäftigung der Amerikaner mit dem nationalsozialistischen Judenmord als Gefahr für die politischen Interessen und das Ansehen der Bundesrepublik betrachteten. Vor allem amerikanische Juden und jüdische Organisationen galten als Gegenspieler, denen man bisweilen unlautere Motive unterstellte. Bonn versuchte deshalb, den Diskurs in den USA gezielt zu beeinflussen und ihm ein positives Deutschlandbild entgegenzusetzen. Im Laufe der neunziger Jahre wurde freilich klar, dass der Umgang des Auslands mit dem Holocaust nicht zu steuern war - und wie wichtig ein eindeutiges Bekenntnis zur historischen Verantwortung ist.

Historians discuss the 1970s as an era of deep transformations and even structural rupture in Western societies. For the first time, Cities Contested engages in this debate from the perspective of comparative urban history, examining the struggles in and about urban space at a time when ideas about the “city” and concepts of urban planning were being reconsidered. This book discusses the structural rupture of the time by comparing case studies of Italian and Western German cities, analyzing central issues of urban politics, urban renewal and heritage, and urban protest and social movements. An original contribution to current debates on the transition from industrial modernity to post-Fordist societies as well as to urban history and the history of social movements, Cities Contested draws on the parallel histories of Italy and Germany to propose new questions and new avenues for investigation.

In Rescue and Remembrance, Kobi Kabalek examines how the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust has been understood and represented in Germany from the Nazi period to the present. In many regions outside Germany, a small number of known Holocaust rescuers are often held up as exemplars of broad pro-Jewish sentiment among that country's population during World War II, thereby projecting an image of national moral virtue. Within Germany, by contrast, rescuers are often presented in both scholarship and public commemoration as a small minority; their examples condemn the majority by showing what Germans could have done but did not do. Kabalek argues that such simplistic depictions of the majority versus minority obscure the complex motivations and situations that led people in Nazi Germany to help persecuted Jews. Against the view that the rescuers were "forgotten" after the war, he shows that portrayals and interpretations of helping Jews appeared in various media and social discourses in East, West, and unified Germany and were used to actively debate questions of collective morality. Rescue and Remembrance analyzes the varied and changing depictions of rescue in the distinct German polities from the Nazi period, examining how the very notions of "majority" and "collective" were articulated and reformulated.

Politik ist zumindest in ihrer Vermittlung immer auf die Zukunft ausgerichtet. Die Zeitgeschichte der Zukunft als politische Kategorie wurde indes bislang noch nicht systematisch ausgeleuchtet. Dieser Band erschließt Zukunftsentwürfe politischer Parteien und Bewegungen, Zukunftskommunikation und Zeitpolitik im 20. Jahrhundert. Die Beiträge erklären, wie Liberale, SPD und politischer Katholizismus in den 1920er Jahren mit revolutionären nationalsozialistischen und kommunistischen Zukünften der Zwischenkriegszeit konkurrierten, und sie zeigen, wer seit den 1960er Jahren die Orientierung am Jetzt, die Notwendigkeit politischer Planung oder die Warnung vor drohenden Krisen kommunizierte. Indem der Band konkurrierende politische Zukünfte in den Blick nimmt, entwickelt er neue Perspektiven auf die Temporalität von Parteien-, Bewegungs- und Demokratiegeschichte und auf wechselnde Erwartungshorizonte in den Umbrüchen des 20. Jahrhunderts, die in die Gegenwart ausstrahlen.
