Seit 1973 verfügen die deutschsprachigen Belgier über ihre eigene parlamentarische Versammlung. Wahlkämpfe in der deutschen Kulturgemeinschaft wurden so zu zentralen Momenten der politischen Auseinandersetzung und des Parteienstreits. In dieser Folge von „100 Jahre Ostbelgien“ wollen Andreas Fickers und Christoph Brüll diese Wahlkämpfe auf der Grundlage von Wahldebatten beleuchten, die der BHF/BRF in den Jahren 1974 bis 1999 ausgestrahlt hat.

Mit der Zahl der Infizierten in Europa stieg in den letzten Monaten auch die Zahl der Grundrechte, die für eine gewisse Zeit nicht mehr galten. Die in den Verfassungen verbrieften Freiheitsrechte stehen den Schutzmaßnahmen gegenüber, die Leben schützen sollen.

Prévues par le traité de Rome (1957) dans le cadre du marché intérieur, les quatre libertés de circulation (des personnes, des marchandises, des capitaux et paiements, ainsi que des services) sont au coeur du projet européen. Le principe de la libre circulation des personnes, qui compte parmi les droits de l’homme, prend une autre dimension lorsque cinq États membres de la Communauté européenne – le Luxembourg, la Belgique, les Pays-Bas, la France

This workshop gathering 10 participants focused on finding the root cause for the need and purpose for multistakeholder cooperation between social scientists and civil society.

The Schengen Area is one of the pillars of the European project. But it has been affected by several difficulties: the serious consequences of the global economic and financial crisis (2008-2018), growing concerns over external migratory pressure and the question of enlargement, fears of social dumping and, since March 2020, the COVID-19 crisis. Identifying these obstacles is vital so that pragmatic solutions can be found without jeopardising the founding principle.

The development of data networks was based on the technical convergence of two worlds in the 1960s: telecommunications and computing. The ITU was thereby involved early on through the Consultative Committee for International Telephony and Telegraphy (CCITT, now known as ITU- T) in the debates concerning transport protocols that arose from the 1970s. At the CCITT, telecommunications’ representatives decided in favour of virtual circuits, which enjoyed a long lifespan. Nevertheless, this choice diverged from the one made by the Arpanet’s researchers, and later the Internet’s community.

This article seeks to identify the factors that have led researchers to root their historical approach in a national or regional context, rather than a global one. This may seem paradoxical when the Internet is thought to be global, and digital content and cultures at least partially cross-borders. These approaches are determined by reactions to a history of the Internet that has been far too focused on the United States from the outset, by a desire to consider this history in a given context, and by the historical sources.

The five papers of this special issue were candidates for the first Internet Histories Early Career Researcher Award. They represent the next generation of scholarship and show creative, original approaches to the study of internet history. These papers all help enrich our perspectives and broaden them in many ways, from Brazil to China, from Cyberactivitst to Civil Society at large, from Gender Studies to Platform Studies, from Emails to Interfaces, while demonstrating again that there is no unique path to write “Internet Histories.”

The presentation was based on the microhistorical and ego documental research about the former soviet POW and so called "Ostarbeiters" from USSR in Luxembourg in the two years after the liberation of Luxembourg in 1944: life in camps, integration in the society, repatriation

In Episode fünf der Sendereihe "100 Jahre Ostbelgien" befassen sich die Historiker Andreas Fickers und Christoph Brüll mit Sprachpolitik und Identitätsdebatten zwischen 1962 und 1980. „Sag mir, wie du sprichst, und ich sage dir, wer du bist“ – so lautet ein vielzitiertes Bonmot. Ohne Zweifel zählt die Sprachenfrage zu den zentralen Themen der Geschichte unserer Region, durchzieht sie doch gleichermaßen die politischen, sozialen wie kulturellen Dimensionen dessen, was wir als Identität bezeichnen.

Dans le cadre du projet d’éducation citoyenne que l’EDIC développe avec la filière européenne du Lënster Lycée, l’EDIC avait préparé, le 13 mai 2020,une « Journée d’études » accueillie par les classes terminales du lycée. On avait préparé deux ateliers pédagogiques (exposé, QR et débats) consacrés à l’histoire de la construction européenne, autour des thèmes « Le rôle du Luxembourg en Europe après la Seconde Guerre mondiale » et, respectivement « Aux origines de l’Union économique et monétaires : comment l’euro a été fabriqué ? ».
