Ukraine Russia and the West When Value Promotion Met Hard Power

Ukraine Russia and the West When Value Promotion Met Hard Power

Why did Russia’s all-out war against Ukraine come as such a surprise to the West? This is a key question considered by this reflective and wide-ranging book. The book argues that Russia and the West were playing different games: while Russia under Putin had become obsessed with using hard power to restore the Cold War security architecture in Europe the major Western powers had become equally obsessed with value promotion that would ensure a global triumph for the values of the West touted as “universal values. ” The Russian play for spheres of interest was clearly defined and demarcated the Western play for values was by definition without limits. Hence there could be no common ground no constructive communication and no common understanding. While Russia convinced itself that it would be successful in forcing the West to accept its claims for a new security order based on hard power Western governments deluded themselves into believing that value promotion would transform Russia into a liberal democracy and a rules-based market economy. Examining the full situation exploring political military economic and business spheres the book provides a deep analysis of how the present confrontation has come about. | Ukraine Russia and the West When Value Promotion Met Hard Power

West Germany A Contemporary History

West Germany A Contemporary History

First Published in 1982 West Germany presents a new approach to the study of contemporary Germany. The past history of the country is used to explain its present state since the roots of many of the events of this century can be found as far back as the Middle Ages. In order to understand Germany’s relative backwardness in the nineteenth century it is vital to have some conception of her medieval history and likewise the descriptions of the constitutions of 1871 and 1919 help to explain why the Basic Law of 1949 took the form it did. The form the book takes is slightly unusual in that the amount of space devoted to an epoch increases as the present-day approaches but this is consistent with the aim of the book. This is an important historical document for scholars and researchers of German history and European history. | West Germany A Contemporary History

Utopia and Dissent in West Germany The Resurgence of the Politics of Everyday Life in the Long 1960s

Utopia and Dissent in West Germany The Resurgence of the Politics of Everyday Life in the Long 1960s

Just as Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was seeking re-election on a campaign of no experiments art avant-garde groups in West Germany were reviving the utopian impulse to unite art and society. Utopia and Dissent in West Germany examines these groups and their legacy. Postwar artists built international as well as intergenerational networks such as Fluxus which was active in Düsseldorf Wiesbaden and Cologne and the Situationist International based in Paris. These groups were committed to undoing the compartmentalization of everyday life and the isolation of the artist in society. And as artists recast politics to address culture and everyday life they helped forge a path for the West German extraparliamentary left. Utopia and Dissent in West Germany traces these connections and presents a chronological map of the networks that fed into the extraparliamentary left as well as a geographical map of increasing radicalism as the locus of action shifted to West Berlin. These two maps show that in West Germany artists and their interventions in the structures of everyday life were a key starting point for challenging the postwar order. | Utopia and Dissent in West Germany The Resurgence of the Politics of Everyday Life in the Long 1960s
