Um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts lieferte die industrielle Revolution den damaligen Armeen eine Fülle neuer Technologien, die schließlich das bisherige Kriegsbild vollkommen veränderten. Von erheblicher strategischer Bedeutung waren vor allem die neuen Eisenbahnen, mit deren Hilfe die Generalstäbe erstmals größere Truppentransporte präzise planen konnten.

In der deutschen Preußen- und Aufklärungsforschung wurde der polnisch-preußische Kulturtransfer des 18. Jahrhunderts bislang kaum thematisiert. Am Beispiel des polnischen Preußenbildes in der Zeit der Aufklärung untersucht die Autorin, wie sich das gegenseitige Verhältnis angesichts der repressiven Polen-Politik des benachbarten Preußen gestaltete. Folgerichtig stehen die vergessenen bzw. vernachlässigten Interferenzen des Kulturellen mit dem Politischen im Mittelpunkt der Analyse, die sich ihrerseits auf die Korrelation zwischen der historischen Entwicklung und ihrer Deutung anhand einer bestimmten Bildproduktion konzentriert. Es zeigt sich, dass das "ewige" negative Preußenbild der Polen erst im Zuge der nationalen Bewegung des 19. Jahrhunderts konstituiert wurde und dass anhand des preußisch-polnischen Kulturtransfers bislang unbekannte oder vergessene Aspekte der deutsch-polnischen Geschichte herausgearbeitet werden können. This study explores the Polish image of Prussia in the second half of the 18th century, a period marked by the division of Poland and Lithuania and the loss of national independence, while at the same time, the apex of the Polish enlightenment. The author questions the prevalent notion of a strong negative image of Prussia in Poland and reveals forms of reciprocal cultural transfer and political relations.

200 Jahre nach dem Erlass des Edikts, betreffend die bürgerlichen Verhältnisse der Juden in dem preußischen Staate beleuchten dreizehn Beiträge unter Verwendung bisher nicht ausgewerteter Quellen dieses Emanzipationsmodell. Ausgehend von ihrer Situation zur Zeit Friedrichs II. wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Möglichkeiten das Edikt für die Lage der Juden mit sich brachte und welche Grenzen es nach wie vor gab. Auch wird der Blick auf andere Territorien gelenkt, in denen ebenfalls über Emanzipation diskutiert worden ist.

What is the role of language in human cognition? Could we attain self-consciousness and construct our civilisation without language? Such were the questions at the basis of eighteenth-century debates on the joint evolution of language, mind, and culture. 'Language and Enlightenment' highlights the importance of language in the social theory, epistemology, and aesthetics of the Enlightenment. While focusing on the Berlin Academy under Frederick the Great, Avi Lifschitz situates the Berlin debates within a larger temporal and geographical framework. He argues that awareness of the historicity and linguistic rootedness of all forms of life was a mainstream Enlightenment notion rather than a feature of the so-called 'Counter-Enlightenment'. Enlightenment authors of different persuasions investigated whether speechless human beings could have developed their language and society on their own. Such inquiries usually pondered the difficult shift from natural signs like cries and gestures to the artificial, articulate words of human language.

Reframing the German War of 1866 as a civil war, Making Prussians, Raising Germans offers a new understanding of critical aspects of Prussian state-building and German nation-building in the nineteenth century, and investigates the long-term ramifications of civil war in emerging nations. Drawing transnational comparisons with Switzerland, Italy and the United States, it asks why compatriots were driven to take up arms against each other and what the underlying conflicts reveal about the course of German state-building. By addressing key areas of patriotic activity such as the military, cultural memory, the media, the mass education system, female charity and political culture, this book elucidates the ways in which political violence was either contained in or expressed through centre-periphery interactions. Although the culmination of Prusso-German state-building in the Nazi dictatorship represented an exceptionally destructive outcome, the solutions developed previously established Prussian-led Germany as one of the most successful states in recovering from civil war.

Scholarly discussions on economic development in history, specifically those linked to industrialization or modern economic growth, have paid great attention to the formation and development of the market economy as a set of institutions able to augment people's welfare. The role of specific nonmarket practices for promoting the economic development and welfare has been a distinct concern, typically involving discussion of the state's economic policies. How have societies tackled those issues that the market did not? To what extent did those solutions reflect the structure of an economy? Public Goods Provision in the Early Modern Economy explores these questions by investigating efforts made for the provision of ";public goods"; in early modern economies from the perspective of Japanese socioeconomic history during Tokugawa era (1603-1868), and by comparing those cases with others from Europe and China's economic history. The contributors focus on three areas of inquiry-early modern era welfare policies for the poor, infrastructure, and forest management-to provide both a unique perspective on Japanese public finance at local levels and a vantage point outside of Europe to encourage a more global view of early modern political economies that shaped subsequent modern transformations.
