Sommario/riassunto |
|
Amateurs and professionals studying birds at the end of the nineteenth century were a contentious, passionate group with goals that intersected, collided and occasionally merged in their writings and organizations. Driven by a desire to advance science, as well as by ego, pride, honor, insecurity, religion and other clashing sensibilities, they struggled to absorb the implications of evolution after Darwin. In the process, they dramatically reshaped the study of birds. Daniel Lewis here explores the professionalization of ornithology through one of its key figures: Robert Ridgway, the Smithsonian Institution's first curator of birds and one of North America's most important natural scientists. Exploring a world in which the uses of language, classification and |

accountability between amateurs and professionals played essential roles, Lewis offers a vivid introduction to Ridgway and shows how his work fundamentally influenced the direction of American and international ornithology. He explores the inner workings of the Smithsonian and the role of collectors working in the field and reveals previously unknown details of the ornithological journal The Auk and the untold story of the color dictionaries for which Ridgway is known. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Reframing the Diplomat Albertine Bloemendal offers a unique window onto the unofficial dimension of Cold War transatlantic relations by analyzing the diplomatic role of the Dutch Atlanticist Ernst van der Beugel as a government official and as a private diplomat. After a career with the Dutch government at the frontlines of the Marshall Plan, European integration and transatlantic relations, Van der Beugel pursued a more freestyle approach to diplomacy as a private citizen, most notably through his role as Secretary-General of the illustrious Bilderberg Meetings and his ties to the European and American foreign policy establishments. This book also traces his close friendship with Henry Kissinger, which provided him with a direct line to the White House. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Am 12. September 1980 übernahm das Militär die Macht in Ankara. Das harte innenpolitische Vorgehen der türkischen Streitkräfte bis Ende 1983 kommentierten bundesdeutsche Diplomaten unkritisch: Dabei fielen eben auch "Späne". Andere Beobachter konstatierten dagegen schwere Menschenrechtsverletzungen. Anhand von erstmals umfassend ausgewerteten Akten des Auswärtigen Amts zeigt Tim Szatkowski, welche Interessen die Regierungen Schmidt/Genscher und |

Kohl/Genscher mit ihrer Türkeipolitik verfolgten. Es wird deutlich, dass es der Bundesregierung nicht gelang, Realpolitik und Menschenrechte miteinander in Einklang zu bringen. Die schwersten Belastungen im deutsch-türkischen Verhältnis resultierten aus der Asyl- und Ausländerpolitik. Die Bundesrepublik dürfe "keine türkische Provinz" werden, argumentierte Bundeskanzler Helmut Schmidt. Doch rechtfertigte das Ziel, die Migration zu begrenzen, ein Entgegenkommen gegenüber dem Militärregime? |
Based on German Foreign Office records, Tim Szatkowski shows the interests pursued by the German federal government in its policy toward Turkey between 1978 and 1983. The study reveals that after the military coup in Ankara, Germany could not reconcile Realpolitik and human rights, and this resulted in major strains in German-Turkish relations due to policies regarding asylum and foreigners. |
