Walter de Gruyter Navigating Socialist Encounters, Fachbücher
"Navigating Socialist Encounters" ist ein Fachbuch, das die komplexen Verflechtungen zwischen Afrika und der DDR während und nach dem Kalten Krieg aus einer globalhistorischen Perspektive untersucht. Es geht über die Betrachtung politischer Eliten hinaus und beleuchtet die verhandelten und pluralen Aspekte des Sozialismus in diesen Begegnungen. Das Buch thematisiert Migration, Medien, Entwicklung und Solidarität und hebt die Rolle von persönlichen und institutionellen Akteuren hervor. Durch den Fokus auf die Verankerungen und Entankerungen zeigt der Band, wie diese oft kurzen Begegnungen die Geschichtsschreibung sowohl Afrikas als auch der DDR nachhaltig beeinflussten. Die Analyse bietet wertvolle Einblicke in die Wechselwirkungen zwischen diesen Regionen und deren historische Entwicklung.
Pan macmillan Ltd. Critical Encounters A1057620642
From the acclaimed author of How Will Capitalism End? comes an omnibus of critical engagements with leading economists and thinkers. Critical Encounters draws on Wolfgang Streeck's inimitable writing for the London Review of Books and New Left Review, among other outlets, and includes pieces originally published in the German press, translated into English for the first time. It opens with a survey of three of the world's major economies - the US, France, Germany - and two contrasting historical eras, factory capitalism and financialization. A middle section considers the hollowing out of Western democracies, with a review of Yanis Varoufakis's memoirs of the Eurozone crisis. Streeck then delves into the world of ideas, discussing Perry Anderson's The H-Word and Jurgen Habermas's The Lure of Technocracy. Finally he zooms out to compare his home discipline of sociology against natural history, giving a remarkable and non-deterministic reading of Charles Darwin. In the Introduction, Streeck reflects on the art (or craft) of book reviewing and the continuing merits of the book form. The book also includes a coda on Brexit and the future of Europe.

Encounter Books Liberty and Civilization A1011254093
An essential volume of essays commissioned by the American Spectator and edited by the philosopher Roger Scruton, Liberty and Civilization examines the intellectual and spiritual traditions of our belief in individual liberty, from its Judeo Christian origins on through Enlightenment philosophy. As we are confronted by belligerent atheism at home and jihadist Islam abroad, Liberty and Civilization is an invaluable tool for understanding why it is critical that we defend the cultural, religious, and intellectual institutions that have made our civilization great. As one would expect from the American Spectator, the responses are both fiery and edifying, representing a broad swath of American conservative thought. The essayists include Paul Johnson, Anne Applebaum, Robert Bork, Robert P. George, Christina Hoff Sommers, and Roger Scruton.
