Women and the Great War - A. Belzer - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Women and the Great War - A. Belzer - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Drawing on both wartime discourse about women and the voices of individual women living at the Italian Front, Allison Belzer analyzes how women participated in the Great War and how it affected them. The Great War transformed women into purveyors and recipients of a new feminine ideal that emphasized their status as national citizens. Although Italian women did not gain the vote, they did encounter a less empowering form of female citizenship just after the war ended with Mussolini''s Fascism. Because of the Great War, many women seized the opportunity to participate in a society that continued to recognize them as guardians of the nation.

Balkan Legacies of the Great War - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Balkan Legacies of the Great War - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This is a rich yet succinct account of an underexplored story: the consequences of the Great War for the region which ignited it. It offers a fascinating tapestry: the collapse of Empires, the birth of Turkey and Yugoslavia, Greece as both victor and loser, Bulgaria''s humiliating defeat; bitter memories, forced migrations, territorial implications and collective national amnesias. The legacies live on. The contributions in this volume significantly enhance the debate about how the Great War is remembered in South East Europe, and why it still evokes such strong emotions and reactions, more than a century after its beginnings.

American Power after the Berlin Wall - T. Henriksen - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

American Power after the Berlin Wall - T. Henriksen - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

American Power After The Berlin Wall traces the global projection of U.S. military power and political influence from the end of the Cold War to the present. Along with summarizing the Soviet Union''s disintegration, it narrates the ascendancy and reach of Washington''s global power in a string of conflicts from the Persian Gulf War to Panama, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and the Iraq War. The book vividly portrays U.S. policies of intervention, regime change, and even humanitarian assistance as responses to rogue states, civil strife, and militant Islam. It analyzes the transformation from Washington''s stability-first policies to its democracy promotion agenda in the Middle East, which threatens this crucial region with instability, necessitating a new grand strategy to confront terrorism and religiously motivated conflict.

The Great War and Veterans' Internationalism - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Great War and Veterans' Internationalism - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

After the Great War, Veterans were a new transnational mass phenomenon. Their status raised a number of new questions about the presence of ex-soldiers in society, their entitlement in terms of welfare (pensions, disability benefits, etc), and their role in politics and on the international stage. This volume sets national expertise within a transnational framework. It shows traditions of internationalism and of commitment to international institutions among former soldiers that even survived into the post-1945 world. The volume discusses extent and impact of international veterans'' organisations such as CIAMAC and FIDAC and draws out important comparative points between well-researched and documented movements (i.e. France, Britain, Germany) and those that are less well-known. Certainly in terms of geography, the project will show that these cultures did not exclude any part of formerly belligerent Europe, and that ''fraternal links'' between veterans branched out across the continent and beyond. The volume explores these transformations in the memory of war and the identity of veterans in the interwar period throughout Europe and the wider world.

Political Unions, Popular Politics and the Great Reform Act of 1832 - N. Lopatin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Political Unions, Popular Politics and the Great Reform Act of 1832 - N. Lopatin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book is the first on the creation, development and influence of popular politics, specifically the role of Political Unions, on the Great Reform Act of 1832. Political Unions and the force of public opinion played a vital role in seeing the Reform Bill through Parliament and setting England on the path of peaceful, legislative reform. Their emphasis on representing the ''industrious'' classes linked the Unions to the emerging debates - political and socio-economic - in later Victorian Britain and the evolution of British participatory democracy.

The Media, the Public and the Great Financial Crisis - Mike Berry - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Media, the Public and the Great Financial Crisis - Mike Berry - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the impact of the print and broadcast media on public knowledge and understanding of the 2008 Great Financial Crisis. It represents the first systemic attempt to analyse how mass media influenced public opinion and political events during this key period in Britain''s economic history. To do this, the book combines analysis of media content, focus groups with members of the public and interviews with leading news journalists and editors in order to unpack the production, content and reception of economic news. From the banking crisis to the debate over Britain''s public deficit, this book explores the key role of the press and broadcasting in shaping public understanding and legitimating austerity through both short and long term patterns of media socialisation.
