Vertrauensbildende Gespräche als Werkzeug der Sicherheit? Die DGAP als Gesprächskanal zwischen der Sowjetunion und Westdeutschland (1955–1990)

Vertrauensbildende Gespräche als Werkzeug der Sicherheit? Die DGAP als Gesprächskanal zwischen der Sowjetunion und Westdeutschland (1955–1990)

Die Sicherheitsvorstellungen in der Bundesrepublik standen im Kalten Krieg im engen Zusammenhang mit den Vorstellungen der sowjetischen Sicherheitspolitik. Die sowje- tische Sicht von europäischen Sicherheitsfragen, darunter die »deutsche Frage«, wurde in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland allerdings durch die schwierigen Kommunikations- möglichkeiten, aber auch wegen des Mangels an Vertrauen gegenüber den sowjetischen Quellen verzerrt.

Rob Kitchin, The Data Revolution: Big Data, Open Data, Data Infrastructures and Their Consequences

Décrire la « révolution des données » avec rigueur et esprit critique, loin du bruit qui se forme autour du sujet, tel est le but de cet ouvrage de Rob Kitchin, professeur à l'université nationale irlandaise Maynooth. Spécialiste de géographie urbaine, de ce que l'on appelle la « ville connectée », l'auteur en est venu à s'intéresser aux infrastructures et pratiques numériques et aux notions liées à celle de « donnée », dont il donne ici un panorama documenté et réaliste. Par souci de rigueur...

It first considers the origins of, and initial meanings bestowed upon, this first (and perhaps also last) Luxembourg Laboratory of Psychophysiology. Second, it investigates whether and, if so, to what extent psychometric techniques developed

Creative Social Engineering? Reform Initiatives in Vocational Education and Professional Orientation (ca. 1880-1930)

Creative Social Engineering? Reform Initiatives in Vocational Education and Professional Orientation (ca. 1880-1930)

Despite obvious connections between the industrial sector and that of technical-vocational schooling and training (cf. Blankertz, 1969) the historical importance of industry-related entrepreneurship for education in the whole of Europe remains underappreciated. In social-cultural and educational historiography alike States and/or Churches, rather than the industry and associated networks, tend to be connected to attempts at societal reform (see, e.g. de Swaan, 1988).

Du rapport Werner au rapport Delors

Economic and Monetary Union is currently at a crossroads, and the crisis it is facing will have major consequences both for the future of European integration and for Europe’s role in the world. In a bid to shed new light on the development of Europe’s model of economic and monetary integration, the CVCE is using its research project on the achievements of Pierre Werner to explore the origins and development of the euro as prefigured in the Werner Report and to analyse the Werner Report in the context of the current challenges facing Economic and Monetary Union.
