Some seventy-five years after the boundaries of the British Mandate for Palestine were set, the State of Israel still lacks a defined territory and agreed-upon boundaries, except for its boundary with Egypt. This book examines this unusual situation, concentrating especially on the perceptions of territory and boundaries within the Zionist movement.Galnoor discusses the period from the first territorial decision in 1919 up to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, placing special emphasis on the relatively unknown Zionist, Palestinian, and Arab positions regarding territorial partition in 1937. And he argues that although dramatic changes have occurred in the international and regional arena, the partners to the conflict, the security considerations, and the international dilemmas, the 1937 decision contained the parameters of the choices that have confronted Arab and Israeli leaders ever since. His findings are of direct relevance to the ongoing Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, which once again revolve around the trade-off between national goals and territorial aspirations.

This text argues that the Weimar Republic was not doomed from its conception at the Treaty of Versailles and therefore it was a complex set of factors which allowed Hitler to rise to power. This edition features an updated and extended bibliography and revision throughout the text.

In the last two decades our empirical knowledge of the Holocaust has been vastly expanded. Yet this empirical blossoming has not been accompanied by much theoretical reflection on the historiography. This volume argues that reflection on the historical process of (re)constructing the past is as important for understanding the Holocaust-and, by extension, any past event-as is archival research. It aims to go beyond the dominant paradigm of political history and describe the emergence of methods now being used to reconstruct the past in the context of Holocaust historiography.

Par la nature de ses fonctions aux frontières et sa militarisation partielle en temps de guerre, l’administration des douanes a été profondément marquée par les événements nationaux et internationaux qui ont jalonné la période 1914-1940 : de la Première Guerre mondiale à la veillée d’armes de 1939-1940 en passant par l’occupation de la Rhénanie et de la Rhur, la mise en œuvre de l’union douanière franco-sarroise, la guerre civile espagnole ou la reconquête douanière des zones franches du pays de Gex et de la Haute-Savoie, les douaniers n’ont cessé durant ce quart de siècle mouvementé d’être sollicités dans un monde en profonde mutation. C’est à Jean Clinquart, spécialiste incontesté de l’histoire de la Douane, qu’il revenait de nous faire découvrir comment cette administration a vécu ces bouleversements, comment elle s’est adaptée à l’évolution profonde de l’organisation et des méthodes de travail et surtout à la complexité de ses missions. Il le fait comme à son habitude en historien scrupuleux et en praticien de la matière, mettant son expérience professionnelle au service de la vérité historique.
