Furthering Gender Equality in a Wider European Union–A Threefold Challenge for Research

Furthering Gender Equality in a Wider European Union–A Threefold Challenge for Research

Women from all horizons played a crucial role in the post-war European project, including democratic transitions in Central and Eastern Europe and EU Eastern enlargement. However, their impact remained under-explored, even if recent shifts in historical practice have led to a reinsertion of women in a wide-range of disciplines. The objectives of 1). nurturing advancement of the research agenda on the role of

A Tale of Two Treatises: the Werner and Delors Reports and the Birth of the Euro

In the process towards European economic and monetary union, two reports played crucial roles. The 1970 Werner Report argued for both a supranational monetary pillar and a supranational economic pillar, while the 1989 Delors Report focused on the monetary pillar, and there was scepticism about discretionary fiscal policy.

EU’s Eastern Enlargement at 20: Poland’s Democratic Transition and the Intellectual Legacy of Bronisław Geremek

On 1 May 2004, with the accession of 10 candidate countries (Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia), the European Union (EU) not only marked the biggest enlargement in its history, but also opened up for the first time to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which had embarked on the transition to freedom, democracy and a market economy after long decades of communist and dictatorial regimes. On 26 April 2005, Bulgaria and Romania have also been included in this process.

Towards Responsible Narratives in a More-than-Human World: Re-Storying Histories of Education

Towards Responsible Narratives in a More-than-Human World: Re-Storying Histories of Education

When futures are disconnected from the past due to disaster and disruption, how do we study and story educational histories and to what ends? The role of education as a motor of technological progress facilitating imagined human sovereignty seems to have lost its persuasive power in creating better futures for all. Therefore, this Special Issue asks historians of education to acknowledge non-Western and Indigenous knowledge paradigms, education systems, and perspectives that have sustained peaceful and healthy ecological systems for millennia.

Layering Public Park Histories: Uncovering the Effects of Restoration Idea[l]s in Post-War Urban Spaces in Germany and the U.S.

Layering Public Park Histories: Uncovering the Effects of Restoration Idea[l]s in Post-War Urban Spaces in Germany and the U.S.

This paper proposes a lens of analysis for studying how public urban park creation, often presented as inherently beneficial for the public by planners, government officials, and stakeholders, served to enforce prevailing social and political norms by excluding unwanted visitors and fostering specific codes of conduct. The two case studies of post-war park development in Richmond, Virginia, U.S., and Hamburg, DE, exemplify the social and political effects of restoration ideas and ideals on beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries.

How to handle testimonies of eyewitnesses during war?

How to handle testimonies of eyewitnesses during war?

Current conflicts around the world and the spread of manipulated or AI generated visual information bring interviewing to the forefront as a method of documenting war through the eyes of witnesses. Being able to rely on firsthand experiences in historiographical research is a well-established and proven method. However, the situation changes when people are speaking about an ongoing war. With their stories, interviewees could potentially create harm for themselves, either now or in the future, depending on how a conflict evolves. How to treat interview data under such circumstances?

Reigning in “little kingdoms”? The implementation of marketing within the advertising function of the Philips company (1959–1977)

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the introduction of marketing within the advertising function of the Philips company between the late 1950s and the mid 1970s. This company function, along with the organizational changes and integrative efforts it enacted and that it was subjected to, serve as a case study on how marketing as an organizational concept could be implemented within parts of a multinational company in a time of changing market conditions.
