Infrastrukturen wie Eisenbahn, Straßen, das Telefon oder die Elektrizität haben die neuere Geschichte nachhaltig mitgestaltet. 'Imperiale Infrastruktur' untersucht diese Phänomene der Versorgung und Entsorgung, des Verkehrs und der Kommunikation. Sie lenkt den Blick auf die Pläne und Praxen, mit denen zwischen 1880 und 1960 Afrika erschlossen werden sollte. Für drei Generationen von Deutschen war Afrika eine Projektionsfläche, die auf Europa selbst zurückwirkte. Die technokratische Integration über Infrastruktur bewährte sich als außenpolitische Strategie und trug zur weltweiten Vernetzung bei. Der Wandel von Kolonialpolitik zur Entwicklungshilfe, aber auch wichtige Prozesse der Globalisierung, werden an einem konkreten Beispiel nachvollziehbar. Die Arbeit zeichnet den deutschen Diskurs über Afrika im Überschneidungsbereich von Politik, Wirtschaft, Raum und Technik nach. Welchen Sinn macht Kolonialbesitz? Welche Erwartungen, aber auch Verpflichtungen sind mit ihm verknüpft? Wie kann Deutschland die neuen Territorien effektiv beeinflussen? Erschließende Infrastrukturen, vor allem Eisenbahnen und soziale Einrichtungen, standen im Zentrum solcher Debatten. Dabei entsteht ein Längsschnitt der deutschen Afrikaphantasien in einer Epoche, die vom Bewusstsein sich schließender Räume und begrenzter Rohstoffe geprägt war. Die deutsche 'Kulturnation' verstand das Ausgreifen in fremde Territorien als ein 'nationales Projekt' der Selbstbehauptung. Noch lange nach dem Verlust der Kolonien im Ersten Weltkrieg bereiteten deutsche Kolonialenthusiasten eine Wiedereroberung afrikanischer Gebiete vor. Bis in die 1950er Jahre war im Rahmen der entstehenden EWG von einer gemeinsamen Erschließung 'Eurafrikas' die Rede.

This book traces the importance of the United States for German colonialism from the late eighteenth century to 1945, focusing on American westward expansion and racial politics. Jens-Uwe Guettel argues that from the late eighteenth century onward, ideas of colonial expansion played a very important role in liberal, enlightened and progressive circles in Germany, which, in turn, looked across the Atlantic to the liberal-democratic United States for inspiration and concrete examples. Yet following a pre-1914 peak of liberal political influence on the administration and governance of Germany's colonies, the expansionist ideas embraced by Germany's far-right after the country's defeat in the First World War had little or no connection with the German Empire's liberal imperialist tradition - for example, Nazi plans for the settlement of conquered Eastern European territories were not directly linked to pre-1914 transatlantic exchanges concerning race and expansionism.

Infrastructures are fundamental means through which societies create spaces, but little is known about the precise ways in which this occurs. How have infrastructures animated certain understandings of space? How do infrastructures stabilize, or undermine, the spatial formats in which we live, which shape our everyday practices and which regulate access to services and resources? And, conversely, how do spaces frame the ways infrastructural provision is organized? How do existing spaces shape infrastructural development and the scope and forms of access to vital services such as transport and water? In this volume, historians and sociologists draw on a range of fascinating case studies and provide compelling answers to these questions. Exploring, among others, the provision of irrigation water in nineteenth-century Los Angeles, the invention of airport transit zones, and the infrastructural practices of homeless people in Berlin, the book demonstrates how the making of spaces through infrastructure is deeply political. Intent on revealing uneven geographies of provision and hierarchies of access, the contributors highlight how infrastructures are products of global entanglements.

The German Empire, its structure, its dynamic development between 1871 and 1918, and its legacy, have been the focus of lively international debate that is showing signs of further intensification as we approach the centenary of the outbreak of World War I. Based on recent work and scholarly arguments about continuities and discontinuities in modern German history from Bismarck to Hitler, well-known experts broadly explore four themes: the positioning of the Bismarckian Empire in the course of German history; the relationships between society, politics and culture in a period of momentous transformations; the escalation of military violence in Germany's colonies before 1914 and later in two world wars; and finally the situation of Germany within the international system as a major political and economic player. The perspectives presented in this volume have already stimulated further argument and will be of interest to anyone looking for orientation in this field of research.

Infrastructure comprises a combination of sociotechnical, political, and cultural arrangements that provide resources and services. The contributors to this volume show, in their respective fields, how infrastructures are both generative forces and the materialized products of quotidian practices that affect and guide people's lives. Organized via shared conceptual foci, this volume demonstrates infrastructuralist perspectives as an important transdisciplinary approach within the humanities.

Presenting recent research on the international integration of infrastructures in Europe, this book combines general and methodological chapters and examples from different a variety of sectors such as transport, electricity and communication networks. Particular focus is on the contrast between the 'Europe of nation states' of the nineteenth century (up to 1914) and the emerging 'integrated Europe' after World War II. Additional contributions provide perspectives from beyond Europe. The wide range of topics gives a good overview of the different challenges posed and the strategies employed in each sector to establish internationally compatible networks, procedures and standards. This work strengthens comparative research as a complement to the detailed analysis of singular cases that often characterises previous works in this field. Methodologically, it therefore contributes to the progress of tools and strategies for comparative historical research. Part of the emerging research area dealing with the mechanisms of international collaboration, this book brings together recent research from European integration history, policy studies, political economy and cultural studies. Considering the growing intensity of international collaboration and exchange in many parts of social and economic life, it is also of topical interest.

The colonial literature of the British Empire often depicted the imperial infrastructure: railways, telegraph wires, steamships and canals. With a focus on writers in South Africa and India, the author uses 'infrastructural reading' to demonstrate the connection between the depictions of these urban developments and anti-imperial resistance.

A history of New York subway passengers as they navigated the system's constraints while striving for individuality, or at least a smooth ride. When the subway first opened with much fanfare on October 27, 1904, New York became a city of underground passengers almost overnight. In this book, Stefan Höhne examines how the experiences of subway passengers in New York City were intertwined with cultural changes in urban mass society throughout the twentieth century. Höhne argues that underground transportation--which early passengers found both exhilarating and distressing--changed perceptions, interactions, and the organization of everyday life.
