All information available at the time of going to press is included. C O n t E n t WW E O r L D S C O F O W E m L C O E m E to the third European Congress in World and Global History n behalf of the European Network in Universal and Global History (ENIUGH), and of our hosts the Economic History Department of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), we welcome you to the Congress, which promises to be easily the Olargest conference in this expanding fi eld yet held in Europe. Many thanks indeed for coming! We are delighted that the main congress venue be will the elegant New Academic Building on Lincoln’s Inn Fields. Th e following notes say something about the aims of this meeting, aboutENIUGH , about global history in London, and about the people and institutions who – together with all of you – have helped make this gathering possible. Th e congress theme of ‘Comparisons and Connections’ is meant to be both generic and specifi c. It is intended to be generic enough to attract participants from all the overlapping approaches which share a commitment to transcend national historiographies, whether under such headings as (to give only an incomplete list) ‘world’ or ‘global’ history, ‘transnational’ history, or histoire croisée. To judge from the nearly ninety panels accepted for the congress, this aim has been achieved. Th e theme is also specifi c, in that ‘comparisons and connections’ encapsulates a (broad) agenda shared by many schol- ars around the world concerned with global or transnational history. To give a little local fl avour, it is worth mentioning that it has been explicitly the organising approach adopted by those involved in developing global history in London over the last fi ft een years. ENIUGH exists to promote and support research and teaching in world, global and transnation- al history around Europe. At the time of writing we have almost 300 members, many of whom will be present at the congress. We very much hope that you will want to become a member, or to renew your membership, as a means of keeping up with initiatives and publications in the fi eld, of receiving our journal Comparativ, and getting a discounted subscription to the Journal of Global History. Above all, we hope that you will help the network as a means of strengthening the global and transnational approach(es) to the study of history. ENIUGH cooperates closely, both informally and formally, with sister associations around the world. We belong to the Network of Global and World Historical Organisations (NOGWHISTO), which was founded at the last ENIUGH congress in 2008 in Dresden and held its fi rst meetings during last year’s CISH in Amsterdam. NOGWHISTO has now also become an affi liated member of the Comité International des Sciences Historiques. We are delighted to welcome to London many colleagues from other continents, including a number active in NOGWHISTO. Th e inaugural ENIUGH congress was held in 2005 at the University of Leipzig, which provides the permanent headquarters of the network. Th e second congress, in 2008, was in Dresden. It is hoped that the venue for the fourth in 2014 will be fi nalised during the business meeting accompany- ing the London Congress. Global history, as an approach to the study of the past, has been assiduously pursued in London for more than a decade and a half. It began with a seminar at the Institute of Historical Research, convened by Patrick O’Brien, which has been followed by other seminars at the Institute and around London. A series of ventures followed, in research, publications, and teaching. Th ese included the foundation of the Journal of Global History (owned by LSE, published by Cambridge University 2 Connections and Comparisons Third European Congress on World and Global History W E L C O m E Press). The Department of Economic History at the LSE launched the first master’s programme in Global History in 2000. This one-year programme continues to exist in its own right, but is now also part of the Erasmus Mundus 2-year Global Studies MA, with the universities of Leipzig, Vienna, Wrocław and Roskilde which enables students to spend successive years in universities in different parts of Europe. The other LSE history department, International History, now also has a joint pro- gramme in world history, with Columbia University. Talking with publishers, and seeing the new books, is a key part of the conference experience, so we are delighted that so many publishers will be participating in the exhibit on the first floor of the New Academic Building. A feature of the conference (for those who sign up in time for tickets, as space is limited) will be the roundtable on ‘Empires and colonies’ on Friday evening, hosted by the German Historical Institute in their elegant premises in Bloomsbury Square. We are very grateful for financial contributions from the LSE Economic History Department, the Centre for Area Studies of Leipzig University, the GWZO at Leipzig University, GHIL, and the Georg Eckert Institute in Braunschweig. We are also immensely appreciative of the cooperation we have received from different parts of the LSE, including the Conferences Office and the library, and of the continuing work of many assistants in Leipzig and LSE. We thank all of you who organised panels, not least the members of the ENIUGH Steering Committee. On behalf particularly of Steffi Marung, Matthias Middell and Katja Naumann in Leipzig, and Tracy Keefe at LSE, I wish you a productive and enjoyable congress. Gareth Austin President, ENIUGH (Reader in Economic History at LSE until August 2010; now Professor of International History and Politics at the Graduate Institute, Geneva) 3 A tthe Conference A At A G GLAnCE L A n C E A t A G L A n C E In recent decades there has been the re-emergence and unprecedented development of a multitude of interacting strands of world, global and transnational history, all which share the common aim of transcending national historiographies. Central to these intellectual enterprises has been the study of both connections and comparisons. Together these perspectives have provided for a continual refl ection on a great variety of themes and analyses. Under the framework of ‘Connections and Comparisons’ some 90 panels will present new fi ndings on research topics, including the following: 1. Entanglements between polities, societies, communities and individuals situated in, or spanning, diff erent regions of the world; 2. Interactions between humanity and the environment, including those which developed over the very long term, through the cultural and economic histories of material and social life; 3. Histories of empires, large-scale crises, international organisations, as well as the intercontinental origins and consequences of revolutions, whether political, technological, social or ideological; 4. Exchanges on oceans as spaces of sustained interaction between communities from diff erent continents, the experience and consequences of migration, and periods of ‘de-globalisation’ and ‘globalisation’ Not least, this includes critical refl ections on the methodological and conceptual issues involved in comparative, transnational and entangled histories: both in general terms as well as in relation to specifi c areas of historical inquiry, from religions to real wages and from diasporas to epistemic communities. Th e common emphasis is a commitment to transcend national historiographies and explore diff er- ent approaches to wide-ranging comparisons. Th e conference will include keynote sessions as well as a series of parallel panels. Scholars practicing or interested in global, world and transnational history from whatever discipline, based both within Europe and from around the world will attend the London congress. 4 Connections and Comparisons Th ird European Congress on World and Global History A t A G L A n C E A tPanels At A A GLAnCE G L A n C E tHursDay, 14 april saturDay, 16 april 2.00–4.30 pm 9.30–12.00 am ▹ Conference Opening with Keynotes ▹ Parallel Panels V followed by a Tea Break 1.30–3.30 pm 4.30–6.30 pm ▹ Parallel Panels VI ▹ Parallel Panels I 4.00–6.00 pm 6.30–8.30 pm ▹ Parallel Panels VII ▹ Reception 7.30 pm ▹ Conference Dinner Cruise FriDay, 15 april 9.30–12.00 am sunDay, 17 april ▹ Parallel Panels II 12.15–1.15 pm 10.00–11.45 am ▹ General Meeting ENIUGH ▹ Parallel Panels VIII 1.30–3.30 pm 12.00–1.00 pm ▹ Parallel Panels III ▹ Concluding Round Table 4.00–6.00 pm ▹ Parallel Panels IV 6.30–8.30 pm ▹ Plenary Forum on ‘Empires and Colonies’ 5 SPECIALS P E C I A L Conference Events COn Accompanying the sessions and panels and along with the opening and closing ceremonies a series of other events will take place combining the pleasures that London has to off er with the joy of intellectual inspiration.

Their residence is concentrated mainly in the southern Brazil region, the former provinces (and today states) of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul regions. These areas were to large extent a demographic vacuum when Brazil began its history as a nation in 1822, but now include the foci of some of this huge country’s most dynamic economies. Polish immigration played a major role in adding new elements to Brazilian culture in many different ways. The geography of some of these elements forms the core of the thesis. At the heart of this work lies an examination of cultural identity shifts from past to present. This is demonstrated through a rural-urban case study that analyzes the impacts of geography, cultural identity, and the environment.

  • The Jews and Germans of Hamburg: the Destruction of a Civilization 1790-1945
    Published on Reviews in History (https://reviews.history.ac.uk) The Jews and Germans of Hamburg: The Destruction of a Civilization 1790-1945 Review Number: 1228 Publish date: Friday, 30 March, 2012 Author: John Grenville ISBN: 9780415665865 Date of Publication: 2012 Price: £24.99 Pages: 384pp. Publisher: Routledge Publisher url: Place of Publication: New York, NY Reviewer: Tim Grady This book is more than just a history of the German-Jewish communities before and during the Holocaust. It is also part memoir, part impassioned response to the National Socialists’ ‘destruction of a civilization’. This breadth, though, should come as no surprise. For the book’s author, the late John Grenville, was himself a Holocaust survivor. Born and raised in Berlin, he escaped Nazi Germany through the Kindertransport scheme in 1939. Sadly, as he notes in the preface to the volume, this history may well ‘be the last’ from someone who personally ‘lived through the Nazi years’ (p. xiii). Crucially, however, this book is not just a reflection of personal memories, it is also a solid, scholarly account, based on over 30 years of archival research. Indeed, Grenville has brought to bear on the project his long experience as Professor of Modern History at the University of Birmingham and as editor of the Leo Baeck Institute Yearbook. The result of Grenville’s endeavours is a very readable and at times stimulating history of the Nazi regime’s gradual destruction of German-Jewish life. The book that Grenville has written, however, is one that is very different from that which might be imagined from the publisher’s title.

  • The Origins of Mad: a Short History of City-Busting
    CHAPTER 1 THE ORIGINS OF MAD: A SHORT HISTORY OF CITY-BUSTING Richard R. Muller INTRODUCTION The 20th century was the age of total war, and nothing symbolized that dreadful era more than the bombardment of civilian populations from the air. From its halting beginnings in the First World War, in which 1,141 Britons lost their lives, strategic bombing evolved into the mass air raids of the Second World War, in which some 52,000 British, 330,000 Japanese, and anywhere from 300,000 to 1,000,000 German civilians perished. Nations poured scarce blood and treasure into the development and manning of vast bomber fl eets capable of carrying the war directly to enemy economic and population centers in the hope that this investment would prove decisive in modern warfare.1 The underlying rationale for strategic air warfare predates the reality of manned powered fl ight. Before the arrival of the machine age, wars were fought primarily between the armed forces of the belligerents. The 19th century Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz noted that, while the “center of gravity . the hub of all power and movement” of an enemy state was normally its army, it could also be the capital, a key ally, or even public opinion.2 National power, therefore, could not be measured solely in terms of traditional military capability. Political will, economic productivity, transportation, commerce, and communications became increasingly important factors in struggles between the great powers. The advent of the commercial, fi nancial, and industrial revolutions brought with it the rise of the modern urban center, in which many of these elements were concentrated.

Det Kongelige Bibliotek, Copenhagen (collection history) 1. The Royal Library was founded by King Frederik III (1609-1670) in the 1650s by merging his private library with that inherited from his predecessors, and in particular by acquiring four important private libraries, The Bibliotheca Regia in the Castle of Copenhagen in his time housed more than 100 manuscripts, and was confirmed as National Library in the Danish Legal Deposit Law of 1697. Booty of war and acquisitions of whole manuscript collections from private scholars and collectors characterise the early 18th century. The Great Fire of Copenhagen, which spared the Royal Library and the Royal Archives, but annihilated the University Library, marks an intensification of manuscript acquisitions both in the private and in the public sphere. Besides important Icelandic codices, all the Danish medieval sources collected over the years by successive specially appointed Royal Historiographers were destroyed. New manuscript collections were established for the University Library, largely through private donations, but daring auction purchases and acquisitions of whole manuscript collections were also made, both privately and by the state. 2.

Prof. Dr. Wendel Henrique Baumgartner, Universidade Federal da Bahia - Brasilien Tag der Verteidigung: 24.10.2018 Zusammenfassung Das Hauptziel dieser Doktorarbeit ist es, die geographischen Konstruktionen von Subjekten und sozialen Akteuren, die zu Gruppen und Kollektiven gehören, in Bezug auf die Produktionsprozesse des urbanen Raums, zu verstehen. Diese Gruppen, die hier als urbane soziale Bewegungen verstanden werden, haben das Ziel, sich ein gerechtes und egalitäres städtisches Leben zu erkämpfen. Dieser Kampf wird hier durch die Idee des „Rechts auf Stadt“ repräsentiert. Dieses Konzept wurde erstmals von dem französischen Soziologen Henri Lefebvre nach den Ereignissen und Demonstrationen im Mai 1968 in mehreren europäischen Städten, die einen Meilenstein in der Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts dargestellt haben, ausgearbeitet. Diese Bewegungen suchten unter anderem nach Lösungen für die existenzielle Krise, die vor allem in städtischen Umgebungen herrschte und die das auf den Idealen des keynesianischen Staates basierende politisch-ökonomische System nicht mehr lösen konnte. Der Staat wurde zunehmend geschwächt und seine Unfähigkeit, die Probleme der Bevölkerung zu lösen, gibt der Marktwirtschaft – durch das Finanzkapital – die Macht, die Organisation der Gesellschaft zu verwalten und zu lenken. Hierin beginnt die Ära der Vorherrschaft des Kapitals, der Marktwirtschaft und damit der Privatinitiative, die von dem als Neoliberalismus bekannten Diskurs von Wohlstand und Freiheit getragen wird.

  • Social Aspects of Military Elites in Japan in the Early Twentieth Century
    Academic Paper Social Aspects of Military Elites in Japan in the Early Twentieth Century Norifumi Takeishi Professor, School of Informatics and Engineering, The University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo, Japan. Abstract This paper focuses on army officers known as the military elite, with the aim of discussing their social aspects by comparing them with those of civilian officials from the perspective of their social background and selection process. On this basis, one of the causes of the destabilization of harmonious relations between military and civilian elites from the late-1920s onwards is examined. Since educational opportunities and professional employment opportunities became more inclusive and disassociated with specific groups, both elites began emerging from the same social base. The theory in previous studies, which states that this resulted in a gap between the social backgrounds of the two elites, causing instability in their relationship, lacks accuracy. In fact, attention must be paid to the examination-based system in elite circles instead. Both, the military elite and bureaucrats, were recruited from a wide range of people socially characterized as survivors of intense competition. Both elites enhanced their pride, and the groups became composed of those worthy of their status in 1920. As a result, the degree of compromise between the two declined and became one of the factors of the conflict. Keywords: military officers; social background; civilian officials; selection * Corresponding author: [email protected] 100 Social Aspects of Military Elites in Japan in the Early Twentieth Century Norifumi Takeishi 1.
