(Kroatisches Produkt mit englischen Text) DOCUMENTA CROATICA is a bock about the land of Croatia, about the war against it and the war for it. lt is a bock about the history of its people, about millenial wanderings through wilderness, about walking thorn-strewn paths - up until recent days, the Indeperidence Day, international recognition and imminent lull freedom. This is a book about the fallen innocents, the insanely, bestially murdered, about the thousands maimed, the hudreds of thousands of those expelled from their own country, their own homes, their hearths. This is a book about war and its aftermath: about death, about the destruction of the unrepeatable and the wounding of the unrestorable. Columns of suffering refugees, the cellar of Vukovar, the shelling of Dubrovnik. Destroyed homes of worship and learning, flame-engulfed factories, fields strewn with mines. culture and heritage in ashes. lt is a book about and for those that were made to watch their loved ones being killed, their homes reduced to cinders, and churches and monuments of century-long tradition turned into mute, admonishing witnesses to the conquerors' state of mind. This is a bock about victims! This collective effort is a document, a testimony, but also a meditation and anaysis: what happened, why it happened, how it was possible and permissible for thiS aggressive, unscrupulous attack on a people and its country to happen; an attack provoked by nothing eise but a desire for what Europe and most of the world have had for a bong time as a perfectly normal aspiration. The book opens with a text by Dr. Franjo Tudman, his message of peace as a guidepost for the future. This is followed by a text by Dr. Ivo Banac, professor of history from Yale University, about the principal Trends of Croatian history. Dr. Ivan Supek, writer and physicist, President of the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences, wntes about the position of Croatian humanists in the advancement of the brotherhood of man. Dr. Bo2idar Bakotiö, professor of the Zagreb Law School, deals with the international-law aspect of the war against Croatia, describing countbess violations of the norms of the law of nations, war crimes, crimes against humanity. Dr. Ante Cari& professor of the Split Law School, writes about the crime of genocide and war crimes in Croatian Criminal Law. Goran HerSak supplies an outline of minority rights in Croatia. Ivo Akrabalo offerS a copiously documented description of churches. hospitals and innocent civilian population as deliberate targets of the aggressors. Finably, 2eljka Corak's essay about wounded monuments. The documentary pari of the book supplies figures on the suffering and destruction: the killed, wounded, displaced, children and journalists as victims, demolished cultural and sacral monuments, damage to the economy, about ecological terrorism. These are proofs that Croatia was the victim in this insane aggression.Also included in this part is the address of the President of Republic Dr. Franjo Tudman to the Hague Conference on Yugoslavia. Also, the basic documents on the independence and sovereignty of the Republic of Croatia, and on human rights notably the rights of minorities. Further, we find here appeals by the Jewish Community, the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences, and of a group of Nobel Prize winners in support of Croatia. This book is intended for the world. That great world looking from high up, with the sweeping view possibly blurring the perception of a fact, both plain and terrifying, that the site of the sole war being waged on this planet - is Croatia. This book is meant for the world which simply does not understand us. Though the list of the count ries that have extended recognition to Croatia is an impressive one, the path leading up to it has been one of thorns. We are Still too often relegated to the second rank, like recently at the CSCE, where a nonexistent entity is still retaining a Lull status. This is, in the words of my friend and respected colleague Dr. Alois Mock, anuclear diplomacy", rather than an international diplomacy based on justice. This bock is a record of a part of truth about us, written at the time of realization of a millenial dream, a dream that we are beginning to live, a dream about justice, shared with sorrow over the hege price in blood paid and a high toll in victims exacted in this war, but also with ardor of having lived to see the freedom as witnesses to its birth.

In 1921, the U.S. and Germany made a bilateral peace and diplomatic relations commenced. The trade agreement of 1923 could be considered as a confirmation of parallel interests and a well- working relationship. America provided Germany with loans to cure the German economy after the hyperinflation. Furthermore, the U.S. aimed to support the establishment of a healthy economy to help Germany enable to pay reparations and to have a market for its exports. Not all Germans, however, embraced the modernism pushed by America through their support. During the Weimar Years, the United States has assisted Germany in all crucial questions referring to reparations, reorganization and reintegration in Europe.A multiplicity of issues has worsened the relationship in the 1930s. The United States and Germany could not agree in terms of disarmament, trade agreements and debts resulting from Dawes Plan loans and Austrian liabilities. Conferences to stabilize the situation and the peace in Europe failed. During his first years in office, the 'Führer' had tried to compromise with America. However, he increasingly emancipated from the Allies and the Treaty of Versailles by making his own decisions regardless to the other nation's opinion. The Neutrality Laws of 1935 constituted a relative freedom of decisions for Hitler. In spite of American neutrality, Roosevelt commented on Hitler's decisions and aggressive foreign policy from 1937 onwards. This was also the turning point for the Nazis; articles in the BIZ, a newspaper being taken away from the Jewish owners and was now a Nazi institution, turned from neutral and positive comments on the New Deal to a hostile hate campaign (Junker, 1997: 246).To bring matters to a head, ambivalence is obviously the best description of German- American relations in the interwar years. Fears, hopes, and interdependences shaped mutual perceptions during this period. From the first encounters after the First World War, to a special bilateral relationship in the 1920s, Germany and America had parted in the 1930s. Interestingly, both were developing toward isolation. The United States because of movements of isolationists, and Germany was isolating itself through its aggressive foreign policy. The America, however, got out of their isolation in 1937/1938. Germany only in 1945- defeated and destroyed. 28 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -With the end of the Second World War, a new world was born. The peace agreements that brought the conflict to an end implemented decisions that not only shaped the second half of the twentieth century, but continue to affect our world today and impact on its future. In 1946 the Cold War began, the state of Israel was conceived, the independence of India was all but confirmed and Chinese Communists gained a decisive upper hand in their fight for power. It was a pivotal year in modern history in which countries were reborn and created, national and ideological boundaries were redrawn and people across the globe began to rebuild their lives.In this remarkable history, the foreign correspondent and historian Victor Sebestyen draws on contemporary documents from around the world - including Stalin's personal notes from the Potsdam peace conference - to examine what lay behind the political decision-making. Sebestyen uses a vast array of archival material and personal testimonies to explore how the lives of generations of people across continents were shaped by the events of 1946. Taking readers from Berlin to London, from Paris to Moscow, from Washington to Jerusalem and from Delhi to Shanghai, this is a vivid and wide-ranging account of both powerbrokers and ordinary men and women from an acclaimed author. 464 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - These addresses of President Woodrow Wilson are almost entirely concerned with political affairs, and more specifically with defining Americanism. Yet they also show that even as he moved from academia to the heights of politics, Wilson retained something of the teacher's interest in showing the relation between specific instances and the general forms of thought or action of which they are a part. Not fact alone, but principle, is what he sought to discover to his audiences. Some of the addresses are state papers, read to Congress, and were carefully composed. Others, delivered in various places, appear to have been more or less extemporaneous. All are full of Wilson's political philosophy, and many of them contain expressions of his opinions on general subjects, such as personal character and conduct. To be a literary artist, a writer must possess a constructive imagination. He must be a man of feeling and have the gift of imparting to others some share of his own emotions. On almost every page of President Wilson's writings, as in almost all his policies, whether educational or political, is stamped the evidence of shaping, visionary power. Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia in 1856, and earned his Ph.D. in history and political science from Johns Hopkins University. In 1890, he was appointed a professor of jurisprudence and political economy at Princeton University, and in 1902, he was named the 13th president of the university. In 1910, he was elected the 34th Governor of New Jersey, and left Princeton for that post. Two years later, he won the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. Following Theodore Roosevelt's splitting of the Republican Party, Wilson was elected the 28th President with 42% of the popular vote, and 82% of the electoral vote. In 1916, he was re-elected, becoming the first Democratic President to serve two consecutive terms since Andrew Jackson (1829-37). Following the end of World War I, Wilson traveled to the Paris Peace Conference, spending four months in Europe. Though he was unsuccessful in getting the US to join his proposed League of Nations, Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in 1919. In October 1919, he suffered a massive stroke which incapacitated him for six months (during which time his second wife, Edith, was presumably acting President). Wilson recovered somewhat, retired from the Presidency in 1921, and died at home in Washington, DC, in 1924. 210 pp. Englisch.

The Beijing University pro-democracy activist is living in exile under an assumed name, Jean Valjaur (JV). As was rumored in the prequel, Year of the Earth Serpent Changing Colors, Chia was not executed for helping to organize the April-June 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Now in Paris, he witnessed the Bataclan terrorist attacks, the Yellow Vest protests, and survived the COVID-19 (or Horseshoe Bat) pandemic-after having survived the AIDS pandemic in China in the 1980s. He pursues his self-study of Asian influence on western culture with a focus on Pop artists and Beat poets. He likewise critiques the views of western 'Maoists,' like Mylex H. Galvin-whom Chia depicts as a 'Wokeist' before his time. During the pandemic lockdown, Chia reflects on the reasons why he became a pro-democracy, pro-environment and anti-nuclear dissident. In Paris, Chia finds work with the Foundation for Human Values Forever (HVF), directed by the charismatic feminist Bereft LaPlante. He meets dissidents like himself who have suffered for their political views and gender. Now as a French citizen, Chia participates in Hong Kong protests, and takes part in a conference on the 'Future of China' in Washington, DC. There, he witnesses President Trump's threat to call in US G.I. Joes to repress protests in June 2020-that recalls the June 1989 Tiananmen Square repression by the Chinese Army (PLA). Back in Paris, he accidentally learns that the HVF Foundation finances questionable activities not related to humanitarian causes-and quits after a drunken LaPlante attempts to assault him sexually. The secretive Society for the Exploration of Cosmic Consciousness (SECC) publishes his 'Planetary Manifesto': If the U.S. Balding Eagle, the Chinese Red Dragon, the Russian Double-Headed Eagle cannot soon resolve their differences, then the popular hopes of 'Barbies' and 'Kens' for global peace will be crushed by the boots of 'G.I. Joe.' Just after starting work for the SECC, Chia mysteriously disappears in a suspected trade-off for a Western spy held by Beijing-at least that is the 'official' news story. Englisch.

VIII, 90, (2) Seiten. Breitrandiges, unaufgeschnittenes Exemplar. Hellblaue Originalbroschur. (Kleiner Bibliotheks-Aufkleber a. d. Einband u. gestempelt). 23x15,5 cm * ----- The Paris Economy Pact was an international economic agreement reached at the Paris Economic Conference, held from 14 June 1916 in Paris. The meeting, held at the height of World War I, included representatives of the Allied Powers: Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan and Russia. The pact was intended to isolate the Central Powers: the German Empire, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria. The Allied Powers envisioned isolating them through trade sanctions after the war. A standing body, the Comité permanent international d'action économique, based in Paris, was established to monitor the implementation of the pact. The pact was of great concern to the American government, led by President Woodrow Wilson, which saw the continued fragmentation of Europe to be a risk for continued conflict. US Secretary of State Robert Lansing asked the staff of the US embassy in Paris to monitor the proceedings (the United States had not yet entered the war and was not one of the Allies). The issue of central concern to the United States was that the pact included schemes for the subsidization and the government ownership of manufacturing enterprises and the division of European markets for the pact participants. The outcome of the Economic Conference foreshadowed the conflict between the United States and the Allies during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. The past concern of the US government with the pact remains fossilized in the US Code, in Title 19, Section 1332(c), which gives the United States International Trade Commission the "power to investigate the Paris Economy Pact and similar organizations and arrangements in Europe." (Quelle Wikipedia) ----- Willi Prion (* 30. November 1879 in Haspe; 28. Januar 1939 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Wirtschaftswissenschaftler. Leben und Wirken: Prion absolvierte zunächst eine kaufmännische Lehre und ging kurze Zeit einer kaufmännischen Tätigkeit als Angestellter nach. Anschließend studierte er an der Handelshochschule Berlin und Handelshochschule Leipzig, wo er 1902 sein Examen ablegte. Danach trat er in den archivarischen Dienst der Reichsbank ein. Parallel promovierte er an der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg mit einer Arbeit zur Preisbildung an der Wertpapierbörse zum Doktor der Staatswissenschaften. 1910 wechselte er dann auf eine Dozentur für kaufmännische Privatwirtschaftslehre und Handelswissenschaft an der Handelshochschule München, an der er im gleichen Jahr habilitiert wurde. 1913 wechselte er als Dozent an die Handelshochschule Berlin. Am Ersten Weltkrieg nahm er von 1914 bis 1916 als Reserveoffizier teil. Ab 1916 wurde er wissenschaftlicher Gutachter und Leiter der Presseabteilung im Reichsministerium der Finanzen, eine Tätigkeit, die er nach Kriegsende nebenberuflich zu seiner Dozentur an der Handelshochschule Berlin weiterführte. Seine Zeit beim Ministerium ließ ihm genügend Zeit eine Reihe von Schriften zum Bank- und Börsenwesen zu veröffentlichen. 1920 folgte er einem Ruf als ordentlicher Professor für Betriebswirtschaftslehre, insbesondere Banken an die Universität zu Köln, um die Nachfolge von Ernst Walb anzutreten. Im Berufungsvorschlag der Fakultät war er wegen seiner vorwiegend volkswirtschaftlichen Sichtweise zunächst nur an zweiter Stelle gelistet, wobei jedoch seine profunden Kenntnisse der Bankbetriebslehre positiv gewürdigt wurden. Nachdem der Erstplatzierte Fritz Schmidt den Ruf abgelehnt hatte, nahm Prion den Ruf an (und der Drittplatzierte Walter Mahlberg ging leer aus). Obwohl Prion die Allgemeine Betriebswirtschaftslehre vertrat, war er einer der ersten spezialisierten Fachvertreter für die Bankbetriebslehre. 1925 erhielt er einen Ruf an die Technische Hochschule Berlin, den er annahm. Sein Nachfolger wurde interessanterweise sein Vorgänger auf diesem Lehrstuhl Ernst Walb. In Berlin entwickelte Prion den völlig neuen Studiengang und das Berufsbild des Wirtschaftsingenieurs, mit dem der Mangel an geeigneten Führungskräften im Spannungsfeld zwischen Wirtschaft und Technik behoben werden sollte. Am 1. April 1927 begann bei Prion der Studienbetrieb mit den ersten 51 Studenten. Das von Prion maßgeblich geprägte Profil des Studiengangs führte zu einer Aufwertung der Betriebswirtschaftslehre insgesamt und ist in seiner Weiterentwicklung bis heute stark nachgefragt. In seinen Veröffentlichungen behandelte Prion grundsätzliche Themen, etwa in der dreibändigen Lehre vom Wirtschaftsbetrieb, publizierte aber auch zu aktuellen Themen wie der Kreditpolitik in der Inflation und schrieb populärwissenschaftliche Abhandlungen über das Kredit- und Börsenwesen.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Sociologist and theologian Abraham Ribhany describes and contrasts the political, social and religious attitudes prevalent in Eastern and Western cultures.Born in Lebanon, Ribhany emigrated to the USA as a young man. Impressions of both cultures and their differences were deepened as he gained experience as a translator during the Paris Peace Conference which followed the conclusion of World War I. How delegations from the east viewed the postwar situation differently from their western counterparts fascinated the author, who realized that a cultural gulf lay between the leaderships. Noting that the East has the potential for great power and influence in future by virtue of their populations and resources, Ribhany sets out a case for greater understanding between the existing Western powers and the nations of Asia. In doing so, he compares the religious holy texts and moral values of both regions, how business and mercantile culture is conducted, and overall attitudes to the progression of society. Finally, Ribhany gives a historical overview of times when the West and East interacted. The invasions and wars of the distant past, plus the colonialism which defined Empires, and finally the role which Eastern powers assumed amid then-contemporary post-WW1 politics. 132 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Excerpt from the Preface: 'The text that follows embodies the four historical conferences that I delivered to introduce the 2018 Summer Symposium of the Roman Forum-a Catholic academic organization founded by Professor Dietrich von Hildebrand to defend the Church's Magisterium against the ever-increasing assaults upon it in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. Held at Gardone Riviera on Lake Garda in northern Italy since 1993, the Summer Symposium is designed to facilitate detailed discussion of topics that have both permanent importance as well as contemporary urgency, led by a faculty coming from all continents in an atmosphere nurturing the fullness of the Catholic life: spiritual and liturgical, intellectual and fraternal, serious and joyful at one and the same time. 2018 was the centennial of the armistice concluding the 'War to End All Wars', the Paris Peace Conference of the following year intended by President Woodrow Wilson of the United States to 'Make the World Safe for Democracy' with the aid of a League of Nations guaranteeing peace the globe over. Unfortunately, 1918-1919 provided to be an entry into a terrible period of disruptions rather than an epoch where the lion would lie down with the lamb. The theme for the twenty-sixth annual Summer Symposium derived from these expressed hopes and real failures, with the complete picture of this strange era being painted by our international faculty under the title of 'The Fittest and the Weakest: The Interwar Era, the Foundations of Late Modernity, and the Resilience of Catholic Christianity'. .As noted above, the following text only provides a schematic historical introduction to the theme in question. It is only lightly footnoted, except where direct citations require more precise documentation. Readers interested in pursuing their study of the issues in question are urged to do two things: listen to the recordings of the other speakers at the 2018 gathering, all of which are available through Keep the Faith, Inc., and consult the works provided in a brief concluding bibliography. Both, together, will provide sufficient armament for Catholic militants eager to battle for the Church in a war that, alas, cannot come to an end until the end of time.' 146 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The First World War threw the imperial order into crisis. New states emerged from the great European land empires, while Germany's African and Pacific colonies, and the Ottoman provinces in the Middle East fell into allied hands. Britain, France, Belgium, Japan, and the British dominions wanted to keep the new states, but Woodrow Wilson and the millions converted to the ideal of self-determination thought otherwise. At the Paris Peace conference of 1919, the alliesagreed reluctantly to govern their new conquests according to international and humanitarian norms and under 'mandate' from the League of Nations.As The Guardians shows, this decision had enormous consequences. The allies sought to use the League to safeguard imperial authority, but that authority was undermined by the mechanisms for international oversight they had themselves created. Colonial nationalists and humanitarians exploited new rights of petition or opportunities for publicity to expose abuses or scandals; Germans resentful of the loss of their colonies and Italians eager to found a new empire arrived in Geneva todemand a repartition of the spoils. As imperial politicians wearied of continual scandals and crises - revolts in South West Africa, Syria, Samoa, and Palestine; famine in Rwanda; labour abuses in New Guinea; extortionate oil contracts in Iraq - they began to question whether independent states might be easierto deal with than territories subject to international scrutiny.Drawing on research in four continents and dozens of archives, and bringing to life a global network of nationalists, humanitarians, international bureaucrats, and imperial statesmen, The Guardians offers an entirely new interpretation of the importance of international organizations in the emergence of the modern world order.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -World War I is infamous for revolutionizing modern warfare as we know it. It is well known that World War I was kicked off by the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The world superpowers engaged in the bloodiest conflict in history at that time, with millions of casualties on either side. World War I transformed the socio-political landscape of the early 20th century and shaped the lives of countless people for decades to come. However, there is much more to World War I than Franz Ferdinand's assassination and the clash of the Entente and Central Powers. It was a conflict deeply rooted in hateful rivalries of the world's most powerful states and came as a somewhat logical conclusion to the endless balancing and political maneuvering of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And it would change the course of history forever. This book will dive into the Great War, exploring what caused it, how it unfolded, and it's short- and long-term consequences. Here are some of the things you will learn about in this book: The long nineteenth century and how it affected the political landscape Germany and Italy's unification The state of European power politics New technological advancements that shaped the war The Austro-Hungarian problem and the start of WWI Military activities in all theaters of the war The influential battles of Verdun, the Somme, Isonzo, and Gallipoli Trench warfare and new tactics used in the war The entry of the United States and the Russian Revolution The final moments of the war The Paris Peace Conference and the new world order And much, much more!

American Propaganda and U.S.-Italian Relations, 1917-1919. This book explores in detail one of the most important but least understood elements of those diplomatic relations, the American propaganda effort in Italy from 1917-1919. It will also attempt to show that American Propaganda helped to make Woodrow Wilson and his political program a major influence in Italian politics during the two years ending in April 1919. It will offer as well an assessment of the impact that the Wilsonian phenomenon had on U.S.-Italian relations, especially at the Paris Peace Conference. This book sheds new light on U.S.-Italian relations during World War I by examining in detail one of the most important elements of that diplomatic relationship - the American propaganda campaign in Italy from 1917 to 1919. In revealing how the first U.S. foreign propaganda agency, the Committee on Public Information, helped to implement Woodrow Wilson's version of the «New Diplomacy» in Italy, this study demonstrates that American propaganda made the Wilsonian political program a major factor in Italian politics during that critical period and analyzes the significant impact that the Wilsonian phenomenon had on U.S.-Italian relations, especially at the Paris Peace Conference.

Excerpt: World War I (WWI) or the First World War, formerly called the Great War, was a major war centred on Europe that began in the summer of 1914 and lasted until November 1918. It involved all of the world's great powers, assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (centred around the Triple Entente) and the Central Powers. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history. More than 9 million combatants were killed, largely because of great technological advances in firepower without corresponding advances in mobility. It was the second deadliest conflict in Western history. The assassination on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, was the proximate trigger of the war. Long-term causes, such as imperialistic foreign policies of the great powers of Europe, such as the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, the British Empire, France, and Italy, played a major role. Ferdinand's assassination by a Yugoslav nationalist resulted in a Habsburg ultimatum against the Kingdom of Serbia. Several alliances formed over the past decades were invoked, so within weeks the major powers were at war; via their colonies, the conflict soon spread around the world. On 28 July, the conflict opened with the Austro-Hungarian invasion of Serbia, followed by the German invasion of Belgium, Luxembourg and France; and a Russian attack against Germany. After the German march on Paris was brought to a halt, the Western Front settled into a static battle of attrition with a trench line that changed little until 1917. In the East, the Russian army successfully fought against the Austro-Hungarian forces but was forced back by the German army. Additional fronts opened after the Ott. 138 pp. Englisch.
