Skill Formation in Central and Eastern Europe: A search for Patterns and Directions of Development, Jonathan Winterton, Jorg Markowitsch, Samo Pavlin, Vidmantas Tutlys
Artemy Kalinovsky's Laboratory of Socialist Development investigates the Soviet effort to make promises of decolonization a reality by looking at the politics and practices of economic development in central Asia between World War II and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Focusing on the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic, Kalinovsky places the Soviet development of central Asia in a global context.
Connecting high politics and intellectual debates with the life histories and experiences of peasants, workers, scholars, and engineers, Laboratory of Socialist Development shows how these men and women negotiated Soviet economic and cultural projects in the decades following Stalin's death. Kalinovsky's book investigates how people experienced new cities, the transformation of rural life, and the building of the world's tallest dam. Kalinovsky connects these local and individual moments to the broader context of the Cold War, shedding new light on how paradigms of development change over time. Throughout the book, he offers comparisons with experiences in countries such as India, Iran, and Afghanistan, and considers the role of intermediaries who went to those countries as part of the Soviet effort to spread its vision of modernity to the postcolonial world.
Laboratory of Socialist Development offers a new way to think about the post-war Soviet Union, the relationship between Moscow and its internal periphery, and the interaction between Cold War politics and domestic development. Kalinovsky's innovative research pushes readers to consider the similarities between socialist development and its more familiar capitalist version.

Описание: "An extremely useful and much needed survey. Over eleven chapters, authors from eight countries cover the complex history of migration from the perspective of Central and Eastern Europe between 1945 and 1993. Following in the footsteps of Klaus Bade’s Encyclopedia of European Migrations, the authors make extensive use of sources in national languages, while providing an extensive overview of population movements in the region between the Baltic, Black, and Adriatic Seas. The individual chapters shed light on phenomena overlooked in other volumes, including individual state reactions to various migratory phenomenon, and the political, economic, and ideological consequences of human movement. The chapters of this volume are uniform not only in their informative nature, but also in suggesting new pathways for in-depth research." Adam Walaszek, Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland "Eastern Europe is an emblematic space of mobility and its Cold War history cannot be told without considering migration from and into the countries of the region. This volume comes at a timely moment and provides a uniquely comprehensive account, full with useful information for further research. It will be a must-read both for migration studies scholars and for area specialists." Ulf Brunnbauer, Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies, Regensburg, Germany "The Handbook is a gift to students of migration on three counts. It gathers the expertise of scholars fluent in the languages – and familiar with the archives – of Eastern and Central Europe. Thus it brings the multi-layered and complex histories of movement beyond the flat descriptor of "Soviet bloc" or Eastern European migrations. The Handbook is both rich and lucid, presenting in-depth materials on the European twentieth-century, on one hand, and organizing each chapter in a similar way, offering the reader transparently comparable histories. From Estonia south to Albania, and from the USSR west to the GDR, each chapter elucidates a complex migration history distinguished by national politics, ethnic composition, and economics – moving from the cataclysmic impacts of World War II to the international migrations and politics of Cold War movement, as well as the politics of Cold War emigrants themselves. Each chapter ends with an epilogue on post-1989 international migrations and a valuable addendum on published and archival sources. Finally, the Handbook models the kind of high quality work produced by international scholarly cooperation at its best."

Описание: Die Adelsforschung der zur ckliegenden Jahrzehnte hat vor allem die beeindruckende Selbstbehauptung des deutschen Adels im 19. und fr hen 20. Jahrhundert herausgearbeitet. Trotz erfolgreicher Statusverteidigung kann letztlich jedoch kein Zweifel daran bestehen, dass der langfristige Machtverlust des Adels in seiner Gesamtheit, des Adels als Stand, seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts unvermeidbar war. Seine Geschichte im Verlauf des s kularen Modernisierungsprozesses muss deshalb, trotz aller Selbstbehauptung, am Ende doch als die Geschichte eines langen, immer wieder stark gebremsten, mehrfach unterbrochenen und abgelenkten Abstiegs beschrieben werden - ein langer Abschied von Macht und Ehre. Dieser spannungsvolle Befund verlangt, das Deutungs- und Darstellungsmodell der u erst folgenreichen Geschichte einer Selbstbehauptung des Adels korrigierender Kritik zu unterziehen. Das Bem hen, eine "wirkliche Aristokratie" im Sinne Max Webers zu bilden, ist in vielen Handlungsfeldern, in denen sich Adlige und B rgerliche begegneten, erkennbar. Aber es scheint so, dass es im 19. und fr hen 20. Jahrhundert in fast allen seinen Anl ufen gescheitert ist. Es fragt sich, was die Gr nde dieses Scheiterns waren. Bedeutungsverlust und Beharrungserfolg des deutschen Adels im Wandel des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts sind in der bisherigen Forschung ganz berwiegend mit dualen, linearen Mustern der Klassenkonkurrenz erkl rt worden. Das Publikationsprojekt "Elitenwandel in der Moderne" zielt darauf, Studien zu ver ffentlichen, die Korrekturen zu dieser Perspektive erarbeitet haben. Pressestimmen: "In den letzten Jahren sind zahlreiche eindrucksvolle empirische Studien zur Adelsgeschichte entstanden, die z.T. von Heinz Reif direkt angeregt, unterst tzt und begleitet unser Bild vom 'Adel' erheblich differenziert, relativiert und korrigiert haben."

Описание: In the English language World War I has largely been analysed and understood through the lens of the Western Front. This book addresses this imbalance by examining the war in Eastern and Central Europe. The historiography of the war in the West has increasingly focused on the experience of ordinary soldiers and civilians, the relationships between them and the impact of war at the time and subsequently. This book takes up these themes and, engaging with the approaches and conclusions of historians of the Western front, examines wartime experiences and the memory of war in the East. Analysing soldiers' letters and diaries to discover the nature and impact of displacement and refugee status on memory, this volume offers a basis for comparison between experiences in these two areas. It also provides material for intra-regional comparisons that are still missing from the current research. Was the war in the East wholly 'other'? Were soldiers in this region as alienated as those in the West? Did they see themselves as citizens and was there continuity between their pre-war or civilian and military identities? And if, in the Eastern context, these identities were fundamentally challenged, was it the experience of war itself or its consequences (in the shape of imprisonment and displacement, and changing borders) that mattered most? How did soldiers and citizens in this region experience and react to the traumas and upheavals of war and with what consequences for the post-war era? In seeking to answer these questions and others, this volume significantly adds to our understanding of World War I as experienced in Central and Eastern Europe.
This book is devoted to the religiosity of the medieval Christian masses in Central and Eastern Europe and its relationship with the traditional cultures of that time. Addressing such topics as the common instruction of the three prayers and the Decalogue, "Christian" magic in everyday life, the Marian devotion, and various images of heaven and eternal damnation, the author never loses sight of his main topic: the complex and powerful interaction between medieval folklore and Christianity.
