"Dealing with themes of urban planning, constitutionalism, utopianism and social construction theory, this book analyzes the city of Magnesia, Plato's second-best city-state in the Laws, as if it were an actual ancient city-state. The book details the demographics, economics, military capabilities and polity of Magnesia using (post)modern critical theory and contemporary data on ancient city-states. Examining the key features of the proposed city-state in detail, Kenneth Royce Moore |

considers Plato's proposed military as well as his invention of national service, and compares this with known militaries of the era. The author demonstrates that economic growth is not its priority, highly restricted with an aim toward stability rather than expansion. Moore also considers the Magnesian political system in the light of existing polities of the era, concluding that Magnesia will have a strikingly different form of government than any other actual city-state in antiquity, albeit derived in no small part from Athenian, Cretan and Spartan traditions. This book puts "flesh on the bones" of Plato's fictional utopia and reveals how surprisingly practical it could have been."--Bloomsbury Publishing |

Sommario/riassunto |

Das Ost-West-Verhältnis im Jahr 1986 war geprägt von einer nie gekannten Dynamik. Mit einer Reihe öffentlichkeitswirksamer Vorschläge zur Rüstungskontrolle forderte KPdSU-Generalsekretär Gorbatschow die NATO heraus. Der Gipfel der Supermächte in Reykjavik eröffnete, obwohl ergebnislos, die Perspektive einer Welt ohne Atomwaffen. Zusammen mit der Fortsetzung des KSZE-Prozesses nährte diese Entwicklung die Hoffnung auf eine neue europäische Friedensordnung. Auch das Verhältnis zur UdSSR schien nach dem |

Besuch Außenminister Genschers in Moskau neuen Schwung zu erhalten, der jedoch durch einen Vergleich zwischen Gorbatschow und NS-Propagandaminister Goebbels in einem Newsweek-Interview von Bundeskanzler Kohl abrupt abgebremst wurde. Eine wachsende Herausforderung stellte der internationale Terrorismus dar, wie der Anschlag auf die Berliner Diskothek "La Belle" und die Ermordung des Politischen Direktors Gerold von Braunmühl deutlich machten. Der Unfall im Kernkraftwerk Tschernobyl rückte Sicherheitsfragen der Kernenergie in den Fokus. Ein Dauerthema blieb das schwierige Erbe des Nationalsozialismus, wie u.a. der "Historikerstreit" belegte. |
In 1986, East–West relations were imbued with a new dynamic. Mikhail Gorbachev challenged NATO with a public call for abolishing nuclear weapons. The Reykjavik Summit failed to produce an agreement, yet it raised the prospect of a world without nuclear arms. The continuation of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) further encouraged hopes for a new peaceful order in Europe. Relations between West Germany and the USSR eased following Foreign Minister Genscher’s visit to Moscow, but German Chancellor Helmut Kohl promptly torpedoed the détente by comparing Gorbachev to Goebbels in an interview for Newsweek. The challenges posed by terrorism grew with the bombing of the Berlin discotheque "La Belle" and the murder of Gerold von Braunmühl, a high ranking West German diplomat. The Chernobyl disaster vividly illustrated the dangers of nuclear power. The difficult legacy of National Socialism remained a recurrent theme, as demonstrated by the Historikerstreit ("historian’s quarrel") over how Nazi Germany and the Holocaust should be remembered. |
