Sommario/riassunto

Germany, pacifism and peace enforcement is about the transformation of Germany's security and defence policy in the time between the 1991 Gulf War and the 2003 war against Iraq.

Teacher professional development requires a dynamic vision of education. This work argues that teaching and teacher education are moral rather than technical or instrumental endeavours, and describes an innovative master's programme for practicing teachers founded in 1992.
