Konfigurationen von Heimat und Exil

Klaus Manns ,Flucht in den Norden' (1934) und ,Der Vulkan' (1939)

Die Geschichte der Verstaatlichten Industrie in Österreich

Unternehmer Staat

Carolin Kebekus nimmt sich selbst, die Gesellschaft und alle Mütter und Väter aufs Korn, denn beim Kinderkriegen und Kinderhaben haben offenbar alle ungefragt ein Wörtchen mitzureden.Bilder von bildhübschen neugeborenen Babys, die friedlich schlafen, von makellos schönen, entspannten Müttern direkt nach der Geburt, die liebevoll auf ihren Nachwuchs blicken, von stolzen Vätern, die Blumen und Schmuck bringen, als wären sie mindestens die Heiligen Drei Könige - diese Bilder treffen ziemlich ungebremst auf die Wirklichkeit: Blut, Schweiß, schlaflose Nächte und viel Aua. Dann hilft es sehr, die lustige Seite der vollgemachten Windel zu sehen.Warum Schwangerschaft und Geburt immer noch mit vielen Tabus und falschen Annahmen behaftet sind, was einem als Schwangere und Mutter so alles passieren und entgegengeschleudert werden kann, was man so hört und liest und ungefragt gesagt bekommt, weil es tatsächlich alle besser wissen - das beschreibt dieses Buch mit einer gehörigen Portion Selbstironie und dennoch unbeirrbarem Blick.

8000 Arten, als Mutter zu versagen

Edition Politik

Is shrimp becoming Ecuador's new oil&nbsp;– and at what cost? Valerie Lenikus uncovers the political-economic drivers and the socio-ecological implications of extractivism: how export-led aquaculture has razed mangroves, displaced coastal livelihoods, and sharpened struggles over land and natural resources. Based on the Latin American debate on extractivism, historical conditions and inequalities, and the controversial constitution of 2008, the complex power relations on different spatial levels are depicted, linking the central role of the state and its policies with concrete struggles of communities.

Capitalism, Socialism, and Political Economy,&nbsp;
 is a three‑volume examination of the ideological, historical, and economic forces shaping global politics in the early twenty‑first century. Throughout the volumes, Kui‑Wai Li argues that many political dynamics commonly associated with the alt‑right have roots in the geopolitical and institutional arrangements formed at the end of World War II. Integrating political trends into economic analysis, these books provide an analytical framework for understanding how competing ideological systems continue to influence global development, institutional behavior, and public sentiment.
 Volume I presents the conceptual groundwork, clarifying the distinctions between capitalism and socialism/communism. It provides particular attention to the historical contexts that shaped these ideologies after 1945. The volume explores their respective strengths, weaknesses, and core principles while emphasizing the need to differentiate “difference” from “inequality” and to draw clear boundaries between economic and political claims.
 Building on this foundation, Volume II
 
 applies the framework to contemporary global trends across advanced economies, socialist states, emerging economies, Middle Eastern regions, and newer blocs such as BRICS. Through these cases, the volume analyzes phenomena including Brexit, Trumponomics, cancel culture, and the strategic development models adopted by authoritarian or socialist governments.
 Volume III extends the analysis to the politics of fear and sympathy—two themes the author identifies as shaping current debates around climate change, COVID‑19, welfare systems, and unauthorized immigration. It further examines how concepts such as freedom, choice, privacy, trade, and investment function within different political‑economic systems, including the growing influence of AI on perceptions of autonomy and national strategy. The concluding chapters synthesize insights across the series, offering a comprehensive account of how ideological tensions and institutional constraints continue to structure global political economy.Kui-Wai Li
 is an independent researcher and economist based in Canada. His research centers on political economy, development, policies, trade, and globalization.

Volumes I, II, and III

Capitalism, Socialism, and Political Economy

Many people remain unaware of the scale and urgency of Africa’s food crisis, in part because current
 
 policies fail to capture its full complexity. This crisis is shaped by a tangled web of natural and human-
 
 made factors, and without a comprehensive, systems-level approach, meaningful solutions remain out
 
 of reach. Tackling this involves concentrated policies that go beyond technical fixes—it demands
 
 coordinated efforts that bridge sectors, disciplines, and national borders.
 
 Using the metaphor of the Gordian Knot to underscore just how intricate and entrenched the problem
 
 has become, this book examines environmental and climatic challenges. The first section of the book
 
 includes chapters dealing with the natural factors for the crisis, and the second section will encompass
 
 chapters addressing human-made factors, such as political, economic, and social drivers. Each chapter
 
 includes targeted policy recommendations grounded in current research.
 
 Weaving together interdisciplinary research and analysis, the book offers actionable insights and
 
 opportunities to address the manmade and environmental problems, furthering the food crisis in Africa
 
 today.

Argentine Freedom
 is the first account of the most disruptive figure in Argentine history since the nation’s return to democracy. In just a few years, Javier Milei rose from television economist and social media provocateur to president of a country long defined by crisis, state intervention, and political polarization. His ascent has sparked fierce debate at home and abroad: Is Milei a threat to democracy, a neo-conservative, or the herald of a much larger revival of the classical liberal tradition?
 
 The book provides a balanced examination of Milei’s rise to power. Rather than judging his policies, economic historian Sebastián Álvarez and political philosopher Ezequiel Spector ask a deeper set of questions: Where do Milei’s ideas come from? How do they relate to Argentina’s liberal tradition and its history of populism, socialism, and authoritarianism? And what does his presidency reveal about the tensions between liberty, equality, and democracy in the twenty-first century?&nbsp;
 
 Blending economic history, political philosophy, and contemporary analysis,&nbsp;
 Argentine Freedom
 traces Argentina’s long ideological arc from the liberal foundations of the 1853 Constitution, through Peronism, military rule, neoliberal reform, and the interventionist turn after the 2001 collapse, to the two liberal “waves” that culminated in Milei’s election. Along the way, it unpacks the meanings of liberalism and libertarianism, contrasts them with their main rivals, and situates Milei within both national history and a broader global surge of anti-establishment leaders.
 
 The resulting book offers a new way to understand Javier Milei as a political actor—and Argentina as a country once again at a crossroads.

Javier Milei and the Libertarian Wave

Argentine Freedom

The material assembled in this volume offers a deeper insight into Walter Eucken's attitudes, thought, and actions during the darkest years of Germany's history: the period of National Socialism. Although Eucken, like his associates, destroyed potentially incriminating documents after the failed assassination attempt by Count Stauffenberg on Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944, the surviving texts mark key stages in a process that ultimately led this determined opponent of the Nazi regime - an opponent from the very beginning - into active resistance against Hitler. 
 

 What rendered Eucken immune to National Socialism from the outset was his philosophically grounded abhorrence of the dissolution of the free individual into the collective, as is inherent in all totalitarian, especially 
 völkisch
 (ethno-nationalist) ideologies. His systematic opposition to the Nazi regime began with refusal, open protest, and confrontation, particularly in response to the rapid 
 Gleichschaltung
 (forced coordination) of the universities, Martin Heidegger's rectorship, and the dismantling of academic freedom by the Nazis. Following Germany's invasion of Poland and several ultimately unsuccessful attempts to exert positive influence on the centers of power in Berlin, his resistance culminated in a - necessarily cautious - participation in conspiratorial activities as an advisor and confidant to the plotters. 
 

 The texts in this volume include notes and sketches of ideas, completed manuscripts that remained unpublished during his lifetime, published essays, a transcript of the lecture "Kampf der Wissenschaften," the record of a public discussion with a Nazi district leader, an expert report commissioned by the Reich Ministry of Economics on possible "sources of war financing" at the end of 1939, the academically significant essay "Wettbewerb als Grundprinzip der Wirtschaftsverfassung" prepared within the Academy for German Law, the chapter Eucken authored for the "Primer of Economics" initiated by Carl Goerdeler, as well as the appendix he co-authored to the memorandum "Wirtschafts- und Sozialordnung" of the Bonhoeffer Circle. This memorandum was prepared on behalf of the Confessing Church with a view to a future world church conference planned for the time after the war and the hoped-for overthrow of Hitler. Retrospective additions include, among other things, Eucken's "Notizen über die Haltung der rechts- und staatswissenschaftlichen Fakultät in Freiburg während der Herrschaft des Nationalsozialismus," his funeral oration for his prematurely deceased colleague Adolf Lampe, and drafts for an obituary of Hans Großmann-Doerth, with whom, together with Franz Böhm, Eucken had launched the research program of the Freiburg School: the development of a legal order conceived as an economic constitution, whose fundamental principle would be competition.
 

 These materials make it possible to trace how Eucken, precisely through his confrontation with the rapidly escalating regime of injustice - with the enforced 
 Gleichschaltung
 , the increasing move toward a planned economy, the persecution of the Jews culminating in genocide, the other atrocities of the dictatorship, and the devastating Second World War - was able to sharpen his conception of a "humane and functional order," diametrically opposed to such a cataclysm. Eucken's theoretical design of a competitive order would later provide direction in the postwar years for the establishment of a social market economy in the young Federal Republic of Germany.

Beck'sche Kurz-Kommentare

Jugendgerichtsgesetz. JGG

Was passiert, wenn väterliche Liebe an Erwartungen geknüpft wird? Wenn familiäre Loyalität bedeutet, die eigenen Wünsche zurückzustellen? Wenn Fürsorge zur Kontrolle wird? Und warum lernen so viele Frauen, sich schuldig zu fühlen, sobald sie ihren eigenen Weg gehen?
Souad Lamroubal schreibt in diesem sehr persönlichen Buch über Väter und Töchter und die schwierige Suche nach einem selbstbestimmten Leben. Über Töchter, die gesehen werden wollen. Über Frauen, die lernen, ihre eigenen Grenzen ernst zu nehmen. Und über den Mut, sich selbst nicht länger über die Erwartungen anderer zu definieren.
Aufgewachsen zwischen unterschiedlichen Kulturen und den Erwartungen ihres marokkanischen Vaters, kennt sie den Konflikt zwischen familiärer Loyalität und dem Wunsch nach persönlicher Freiheit. Heute lebt sie ein selbstbestimmtes Leben. Doch ihr Weg dorthin war steinig. 
In einem schonungslosen Vater-Tochter-Dialog stellt Lamroubal die Fragen, die das Leben so vieler Frauen unabhängig von Herkunft und Lebensgeschichte bestimmen: Wie viel von uns selbst geben wir auf, um geliebt und anerkannt zu werden? Und was passiert, wenn wir uns weigern, die Erwartungen anderer zu erfüllen? Offen spricht sie über wiederkehrende Beziehungsmuster, Verlustängste, Schuldgefühle und die Normalisierung von Kontrolle und Gewalt. Ein ehrlicher, persönlicher Blick auf Konflikte, die viele Frauen kennen, aber nicht immer benennen können.

Ibero-American Criminal Sciences

This book offers the first comprehensive English-language exploration of juvenicide, a concept that examines the killing of young people as a form of structural violence rather than ordinary homicide. While the term has circulated widely in Latin American scholarship, this volume brings together leading voices to consolidate its theoretical foundations and demonstrate its relevance across diverse contexts.The book is organized into four sections that collectively map the field of juvenicide studies. The first section establishes the conceptual framework and situates juvenicide within contemporary crises affecting youth. The second examines intersectional dimensions, including age, gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity, to show how these factors shape vulnerability to lethal violence. The third section analyzes institutional structures—state power, neoliberal policies, education systems, and criminal apparatus—that enable and normalize juvenicide. The final section turns to resistance, documenting collective struggles that challenge the disposability of young lives in countries such as El Salvador, Argentina, and Colombia.By framing juvenicide as a “total social fact,” the volume illuminates the political, structural, and symbolic forces that render certain youth populations expendable under neoliberal capitalism. Combining empirical research with conceptual innovation, this book provides critical insights for scholars of youth and violence, policymakers, and practitioners. It also serves as a valuable resource for courses on inequality, violence, and social justice in Latin America and beyond.

Sovereignty, Sacrifice, and Survival in Pakistan’s Necropolitical Order: Death’s Dominion
 examines how sovereignty, sacrifice, and survival are experienced by individuals living under Pakistan’s militant and counter-militant regimes. Drawing on unstructured, in-depth interviews with sectarian militants and interrupted martyrdom operatives, it transforms first-person testimony into a critical analysis of necropolitics: the power to determine who may live, who must remain vulnerable, and who may be exposed to death. The book shows how selective protection, institutional failure, militant violence, and exceptional security practices can produce “death-worlds” governed through insecurity, abandonment, and differential exposure to violence.
 Combining phenomenological inquiry with post-structural theory, the study reveals how state and non-state actors participate in overlapping moral and political economies of death, in which martyrdom, refusal, betrayal, and survival acquire political and sacred meanings. It advances the Pakistan-specific NEC Framework—National, Ethnosectarian, and Counterterror Necropolitics—to explain how competing forms of sovereignty intersect in shaping the national order. In dialogue with Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Achille Mbembe, and Judith Butler, the book also develops counter-necropolitics as a life-affirming project grounded in justice, accountability, rehabilitation, recognition, reparation, and counter-narratives.Munir Ahmad Zia Rao
