Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg suchen Indien und China ihren Platz in der Welt. Die Ideale und Strukturen internationaler Kooperation und Organisation, von denen diese Jahre weltpolitisch stark geprägt sind, bieten den Rahmen für verschiedene und zum Teil konkurrierende Entwürfe eines postimperialen Asien. In grenzübergreifenden Kommunikationskanälen politischer, gesellschaftlicher, wissenschaftlicher und journalistischer Natur bildet sich eine anglophone Weltöffentlichkeit heraus, in der die Zukunft Indiens und Chinas als unabhängige Nationalstaaten auf Augenhöhe mit den westlichen Mächten verhandelt wird. Diese transnational angelegte Ideengeschichte untersucht die politischen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Modernisierungs- und Weltordnungskonzepte, die in dieser Zeit des Wandels für Indien und China formuliert wurden.

A half century after its founding in London in 1844, the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) became the first NGO to effectively push a modernization agenda around the globe. Soon followed by a sister organization, the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA), founded in 1855, the Y movement defined its global mission in 1889. Although their agendas have been characterized as predominantly religious, both the YMCA and YWCA were also known for their new vision of a global civil society and became major agents in the worldwide dissemination of modern “Western” bodies of knowledge. The YMCA’s and YWCA’s “secular” social work was partly rooted in the Anglo-American notions of the “social gospel” that became popular during the 1890s. The Christian lay organizations’ vision of a “Protestant Modernity” increasingly globalized their “secular” social work that transformed notions of science, humanitarianism, sports, urban citizenship, agriculture, and gender relations. Spreading Protestant Modernity shows how the YMCA and YWCA became crucial in circulating various forms of knowledge and practices that were related to this vision, and how their work was co-opted by governments and rival NGOs eager to achieve similar ends. The studies assembled in this collection explore the influence of the YMCA’s and YWCA’s work on highly diverse societies in South, Southeast, and East Asia; North America; Africa; and Eastern Europe. Focusing on two of the most prominent representative groups within the Protestant youth, social service, and missionary societies (the so-called “Protestant International”), the book provides new insights into the evolution of global civil society in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and its multifarious, seemingly secular, legacies for today’s world. Spreading Protestant Modernity offers a compelling read for those interested in global history, the history of colonialism and decolonization, the history of Protestant internationalism, and the trajectories of global civil society. While each study is based on rigorous scholarship, the discussion and analyses are in accessible language that allows everyone from undergraduate students to advanced academics to appreciate the Y movement’s role in social transformations across the world.

Anchored in the Russian Empire, but not limited to it, the eight studies in this volume explore the nineteenth-century imperial responses to the challenge of modernity, the dramatic disruptions of World War I, the radical scenarios of the interwar period and post-communist endgames at the different edges of Eurasia. The book continues and amplifies the historiographic momentum created by Alfred J. Rieber’s long and fruitful scholarly career. First, the volume addresses the attempts of Russian imperial rulers and elites to overcome the economic backwardness of the empire with respect to the West. The ensuing rivalry of several interest groups (entrepreneurs, engineers, economists) created new social forms in the subsequent rounds of modernization. The studies explore the dynamics of the metamorphoses of what Rieber famously conceptualized as a “sedimentary society” in the pre-revolutionary and early Soviet settings. Second, the volume also expands and dwells on the concept of frontier zones as dynamic, mutable, shifting areas, characterized by multi-ethnicity, religious diversity, unstable loyalties, overlapping and contradictory models of governance, and an uneasy balance between peaceful co-existence and bloody military clashes. In this connection, studies pay special attention to forced and spontaneous migrations, and population politics in modern Eurasia.

How do national identities affect the world economy? Building on the insight that nationalisms and national identities endow economic policy with social purpose, Rawi Abdelal proposes a novel theoretical framework, a distinctively Nationalist perspective on international political economy, to answer this question. Using this framework, and drawing on field research in Lithuania, Ukraine, and Belarus, he provides an in-depth look at the link between national identity and the economic policies of the new states formed by the breakup of the Soviet Union.All these states, from the Baltic coast to central Asia, were economically dependent on Russia during the 1990s. However, they reacted very differently to that dependence, and their reactions can be traced, Abdelal contends, to their individual societies. Some, such as Belarus, found dependence inevitable and sought economic reintegration with Russia. Others, like Lithuania, interpreted dependence as a large-scale security threat and reoriented their economies away from Russia. A third group, typified by Ukraine, demonstrated no coherent economic policy at all regarding dependence.Abdelal distinguishes the Nationalist tradition in international political economy from the Realist tradition, and shows that economic nationalism is different than mercantilism. He demonstrates the ways that national identity affects economic policy and explains why some governments seek economic autonomy while others prefer regional reintegration. He then applies his approach to other cases of economic reorganization after the end of empire—eastern Europe in the 1920s after the Habsburgs, 1950s Indonesia, and French West Africa in the 1960s.

How the collapse of empires helps explain the efforts of China, Iran, Russia, and Turkey to challenge the international order “This is a must read to understand the backstory of conflicts from Crimea to Xinjiang.”—Fiona Hill, author of There Is Nothing for You Here Eurasia’s major powers—China, Iran, Russia, and Turkey—increasingly intervene across their borders while seeking to pull their smaller neighbors more firmly into their respective orbits. While analysts have focused on the role of leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in explaining this drive to dominate neighbors and pull away from the Western-dominated international system, they have paid less attention to the role of imperial legacies. Jeffrey Mankoff argues that what unites these contemporary Eurasian powers is their status as heirs to vast terrestrial empires, whose collapse left all four states deeply entangled with the lands and peoples along their peripheries but outside their formal borders. Today, they have all found new opportunities to project power within and beyond their borders in patterns shaped by their respective imperial pasts.

War, defeat, and the collapse of empire in 1945 touched every aspect of postwar Japanese society, profoundly shaping how the Japanese would reconstruct national identity and reengage with the peoples of Asia. While “America” offered a vision of re-genesis after cataclysmic ruin, “Asia” exposed the traumata of perpetration and the torment of ethnic responsibility. Obscured in the shadows of a resurgent postwar Japan lurked a postimperial specter whose haunting presence both complicated and confounded the spiritual rehabilitation of the nation. Asia and Postwar Japan examines Japanese deimperialization from 1945 until the early twenty-first century. It focuses on the thought and activism of progressive activists and intellectuals as they struggled to overcome rigid preconceptions about “Asia,” as they grappled with the implications of postimperial responsibility, and as they forged new regional solidarities and Asian imaginaries. Simon Avenell reveals the critical importance of Asia in postwar Japanese thought, activism, and politics—Asia as a symbolic geography, Asia as a space for grassroots engagement, and ultimately, Asia as an aporia of identity and the source of a new politics of hope.

Trotz der vielen transnationalen und transkulturellen Trends in der Forschung zur deutschen Geschichte ist die Verflechtung der Weimarer Republik mit der übrigen Welt bislang seltsam unterbelichtet geblieben. Die Beiträge des Bandes lenken den Blick auf vielfältige Aspekte dieser Thematik und stellen die vorherrschende These der Globalgeschichtsschreibung infrage, es handle sich bei der Zwischenkriegszeit um eine Zeitspanne der »Deglobalisierung«. Das Buch liefert eine längst überfällige Korrektur der Historiographie und trägt zur Entprovinzialisierung der deutschen Geschichte bei.

Der "Westen" gehört zu den bedeutendsten Begriffen des internationalen politischen Vokabulars im 20. Jahrhundert. An der langen Jahrhundertwende wurde er in Europa und den USA in markanter Weise geprägt: als Begriff der kolonialen Zivilisierungsmission und als Gegenpart zu einem mit dem russischen Autokratismus assoziierten "Osten". Im "Westen" verorteten die imperialen Großmächte ihre angeblich überlegene "Zivilisation"; mit ihrer proklamierten Zivilisierungsmission rechtfertigten sie koloniale Herrschaft und Gewalt. Während des Ersten Weltkriegs wurde der "Westen" zum Schlagwort der Alliierten, besonders nach dem Kriegseintritt der USA, während Deutschland seine Ablehnung gegenüber "Westlertum" und "westlicher Demokratie" kultivierte. Im Begriff des "Westens" kristallisierte sich die Ambivalenz der Moderne.

Anselm Doering-Manteuffel hat über mehrere Jahrzehnte das Nachdenken über deutsche Zeitgeschichte entscheidend mitgeprägt und dem 20. Jahrhundert eine historiographische Ordnung gegeben. Deren Konturen werden im ersten Teil des Bandes deutlich, der die zeithistorische Epoche aus der Vogelperspektive in den Blick nimmt. Die darauf folgenden Aufsätze gelten den Suchbewegungen zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts, als aufgrund der weitverbreiteten Forschrittsskepsis der Liberalismus in die Krise geriet. Die Beiträge des dritten Teils widmen sich hingegen dem Ost-West-Konflikt, dem Prozess der Westernisierung sowie den Strukturbrüchen "nach dem Boom". Die insgesamt fünfzehn Aufsätze zeigen, wie sich eine Gesellschaftsgeschichte handlungssteuernder Ideen im 20. Jahrhundert in internationaler Perspektive denken lässt.
