“Whoever controls Central Asia controls the world” saidHalford Mackinder, the English father of geopolitics. He was looking at the world at the beginning of the 20th century, whenthe British Empire reached its apogee. It is ironic then that,only a few decades after he developed his ideas, great powers would almost forget about Central Asia and turn their attention back to the Middle East. The reasons? History, geography,and the discovery of vast hydrocarbon resources.Over the past century, it has been an almost constant refrain:as great and middle powers rise, they will almost invariably look at the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It was therefore to be expected that, with the world’s economic andpolitical centre of gravity moving increasingly towards East and South Asia, a number of countries in these regions would devote more attention to the MENA region. China and India, inparticular, have been at the forefront of an astonishing rise, astheir GDP has grown respectively fourteen-fold and six-fold, ata constant rate, between 1990 and 2019, with China climbingfrom the eleventh to the second largest economy in the world,and India from the thirteenth to the fifth. With the unfoldingof this monumental change, MENA countries have started to“look East” more and more and with a keener interest, alsowith an eye to rebalancing the influence and interference of“classical” non-regional actors such as the United States, Russia and a number of European countries (especially former colonial powers).

This book provides a comparative and transnational examination of the complex and multifaceted experiences of anti-labour mobilisation, from the bitter social conflicts of the pre-war period, through the epochal tremors of war and revolution, and the violent spasms of the 1920s and 1930s. It retraces the formation of an extensive market for corporate policing, privately contracted security and yellow unionism, as well as processes of professionalisation in strikebreaking activities, labour espionage and surveillance. It reconstructs the diverse spectrum of right-wing patriotic leagues and vigilante corps which, in support or in competition with law enforcement agencies, sought to counter the dual dangers of industrial militancy and revolutionary situations. Although considerable research has been done on the rise of socialist parties and trade unions the repressive policies of their opponents have been generally left unexamined. This book fills this gap by reconstructing the methods and strategies used by state authorities and employers to counter outbreaks of labour militancy on a global scale. It adopts a long-term chronology that sheds light on the shocks and strains that marked industrial societies during their turbulent transition into mass politics from the bitter social conflicts of the pre-war period, through the epochal tremors of war and revolution, and the violent spasms of the 1920s and 1930s. Offering a new angle of vision to examine the violent transition to mass politics in industrial societies, this is of great interest to scholars of policing, unionism and striking in the modern era. -- Provided by publisher.

Die Melanchthonforschung hat im Laufe eines halben Jahrhunderts einen gewaltigen Aufschwung erlebt. Dies gilt nicht nur für seine reformationsgeschichtliche Bedeutung. Sein literarisches Œuvre ist immens und umfasst neben seiner Korrespondenz, die von der Melanchthon-Forschungsstelle der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften ediert wird, Schriften zu fast allen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen und Ereignissen seiner Zeit: Theologie, Naturphilosophie, Moralphilosophie, Dialektik, Rhetorik, Geschichte, Literatur, Kirchenpolitik und -organisation. Ein Team von international anerkannten Wissenschaftlern stellt den aktuellen Forschungsstand vor. Neben diesen einzelnen Disziplinen und Ereignissen werden nicht nur die jeweiligen literarischen Gattungen berücksichtigt, sondern auch die breite Wirkung Melanchthons in den Ländern des damaligen Europas dargestellt. Beleuchtet wird auch die Frage, in welcher Hinsicht Melanchthon als „Ökumeniker des Reformationszeitalters“ gelten kann. Das Handbuch bietet damit eine schnelle erste Orientierung der Melanchthonforschung und eröffnet gleichermaßen Perspektiven für die künftige Forschung.
