Die hier versammelten Beiträge einer internationalen Fachkonferenz beleuchten das Beziehungsgeflecht zwischen deutscher und britischer Geschichtswissenschaft bis in die Gegenwart. Neben Fragestellungen aus den nationalen Erinnerungskulturen stehen Reflexionen über Geschichtsbilder, nationale Mythen und zu Stereotypen erstarrte Vorstellungen von Verlauf und Sinn der jeweiligen Nationalgeschichte.

This volume explores the politics of memory involved in 'coming to terms with the past' of mass dictatorship on a global scale. Considering how a growing sense of global connectivity and global human rights politics changed the memory landscape, the essays explore entangled pasts of dictatorships.

The Paraguay Reader

The transition to democracy in Paraguay has been one of the most difficult in Latin America. This book highlights the limitations of the process of democratisation in a country which lacked a previous democratic tradition and where the legacy of the harsh regime of Alfredo Stroessner (1954-89) is enduring. The book describes the nature of the Stroessner regime, examines the actors in the democratisation process, and shows how they influenced the policies of the transition governments.

The Transition to Democracy in Paraguay

This topical volume seeks to analyze the intimate but under-studied relationship between the construction of national identity in Latin America, and the violent struggle for political power that has defined Latin American history since independence. The result is an original, fascinating contribution to an increasingly important field of study.
