Une vie pour l'idéal européen

Une vie pour l'idéal européen

Pierre Werner (29 décembre 1913 – 24 juin 2002) fut une personnalité aux multiples talents qui a traversé le XXe siècle. Ministre d’État, Premier Ministre et ministre des Finances pendant de longues dé¬cennies, cet intellectuel chrétien et démocrate résolu fut l’un des rares hommes d’État à avoir pris part à l’unification européenne depuis l’après-guerre jusqu’au milieu des années 1980. Il fait de l’intégration européenne l’axe central de la politique luxembourgeoise. Sur le plan intérieur, il joue un rôle majeur dans la modernisation de la société.

A new reading of primary sources via the digital analysis of social networks. ‘The Werner Committee and the debates on European economic and monetary integration’

A new reading of primary sources via the digital analysis of social networks. ‘The Werner Committee and the debates on European economic and monetary integration’

This pilot project was carried out in connection with the CVCE’s strategy of combining humanities and social sciences research with digital tools and publishing the results via its digital research infrastructure on European integration, CVCE.eu. Methods borrowed from social network analysis and qualitative data analysis were applied to a specific section of the digital publication on the 1970 Werner Report, a publication which was compiled on the basis of the ‘traditional’ exploration and interpretation of a vast number of previously unpublished primary sources. 2

Russian Culture in Luxembourg: Literarische Gebrauchsanweisungen für Russland

Die Quellen, aus denen sich die knapp 8 000 Bücher des russischen Bestands der BNL zusammensetzen, spiegeln den Enthusiasmus wider, mit dem Botschafter wie Rene Blum oder Paul Pütz, Politiker, Lehrer und Bibliothekare geglaubt haben, die Sowjetunion und später Russland hierzulande über seine Literatur verständlich zu machen.

Le Luxembourg et l’intégration européenne 1945-2016

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le Luxembourg abandonne sa politique de neutralité et se lance dans une politique de coopération internationale dans les domaines économique et militaire (OECE et pacte de Bruxelles en 1948, OTAN en 1949). Déjà en septembre 1944, les gouvernements en exil du Luxembourg, de la Belgique et des Pays-Bas avaient signé à Londres une convention douanière instituant le Benelux.

„Grow into a happy future“  The development of abortion law in the German Democratic Republic and its ideological and practical  implications (1945 - 1972)

„Grow into a happy future“ The development of abortion law in the German Democratic Republic and its ideological and practical implications (1945 - 1972)

The master's thesis aims at exploring the laws regulating abortion and reproduction in the GDR until its legalization in 1972. These laws, their impact and mediatization are put into a comparative perspective with the situation in the Soviet Union. The thesis further explores how ideologically charged explanations were used to legitimize abortion laws and the discrepancy between the USSR and the GDR in terms of legalization.
