Das zweite Turnier der Schatten : Turkestan und die Politik der Großmächte 1919-1933 /
:
Im Zuge des "Great Game", das in Russland "Turnier der Schatten" genannt wurde, konkurrierten Briten und Russen im 19. Jahrhundert um Einfluss in Zentralasien. Mit dem Erstarken deutscher Bemühungen in der Region rückten London und St. Petersburg jedoch zusammen. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg und dem Dritten Britisch-Afghanischen Krieg von 1919 standen sich Sowjets und Briten in Zentralasien wieder feindlich gegenüber. Fortan konkurrierten Berlin, London und Moskau um Einfluss in der Region. David X. Noack analysiert die gegenseitige Wahrnehmung der Briten, der Deutschen und der Sowjets in diesem Konflikt, der bis 1933 andauerte. Fehldeutungen und Missverständnisse aufgrund von imperialer Paranoia, Invasionsängsten und fehlendes Verständnis für die Besonderheiten der Region kennzeichneten das Handeln aller Beteiligten. Das Agieren der drei Mächte hat die Region dennoch nachhaltig geprägt, so dass die Auswirkungen noch heute zu spüren sind. See Less

Mapping South-South Connections during the Decolonization Process and Cold War (1810-1990) : The Islamicate and Ibero-American Worlds /
:
Mapping South-South Connections during the Decolonization Process and Cold War (1810-1990): The Islamicate and Ibero-American Worlds offers a groundbreaking exploration of the period's historical, political, and cultural networks. Through interdisciplinary approaches-from diplomacy and visual culture to women's studies and political science-this volume highlights state and non-state actors who shaped international relations beyond Euro-American paradigms. Rooted in a research project and major international conference, and enriched by additional contributions, it introduces original studies on underexplored connections between Ibero-America and the Islamicate world, often drawing on primary sources difficult to access due to geographic, linguistic, or political barriers. Contributors are Martín Bergel, Fernando Camacho Padilla, Eudald Cortina Orero, Fernando Escribano Martín, Alberto García Molinero, Mario Matus González, Raffaele Mauriello, Reinaldo M. Sánchez Porro, Juan José Vagni, and Barış Ahmet Yörümez.

Tuscan and Genoese Aspirations to Transoceanic Trade (17th Century) /
:
Many small, early modern European states tried to follow in the footsteps of their bigger neighbours and expand beyond the oceans. Tuscan and Genoese Aspirations to Transoceanic Trade (17th Century) traces the little-known history of two of these states: the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Republic of Genoa. These two old and prestigious commercial centres found themselves gradually displaced over the 17th century as the centre of gravity of the European economy moved away from the Mediterranean. In an attempt to combat this, Florentine and Genoese elites collected information and reviewed projects, established joint-stock companies, and sent ships to East Asia and the Americas. While their plans failed, their vicissitudes illustrate the mechanisms that stood behind European expansion overseas, and how its results differed widely from expectations.

The Handbook of Global Oral History inspires the reader to be more open in their conception of what oral history is and how it is applied within a variety of disciplines to unlock meaning in human experience. The book brings together scholars from around the world in the areas ranging from memory studies, Indigenous history and journalism to anthropology, trauma, and archival studies.
