In Nürnberg und Tokio standen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg die Hauptrepräsentanten des Nationalsozialismus und des japanischen Ultranationalismus vor Gericht und mussten sich wegen der von beiden ...Diktaturen verübten Massenverbrechen verantworten. In der Folgezeit tat sich Japan noch schwerer damit als Westdeutschland, seine Vergangenheit zu "bewältigen". Dies lag nicht allein daran, dass die Verbrechen nur teilweise vergleichbar waren und der Tennô in Tokio nicht auf die Anklagebank kam. Vielmehr konnten die Japaner nach dem apokalyptischen Schock der Atombomben auf Hiroshima und Nagasaki einen Opferstatus für sich reklamieren, der die japanischen Verbrechen im Weltkrieg lange Zeit verdeckte, während sich den Deutschen, trotz Bombenkrieg und Vertreibung, eine solche Ausflucht nicht eröffnete. Überdies war die Insel im Fernen Osten als allein auf die USA gestütztes Bollwerk gegen den ostasiatischen Kommunismus erinnerungskulturell einem viel geringeren Außendruck ausgesetzt als die in eine internationale Wirtschafts- und Verteidigungsgemeinschaft eingebundene Bundesrepublik. Manfred Kittel untersucht ferner die Bedeutung der inneren Kräfte - der konservativen Regierung und der linken Opposition, der Medien und der Geschichtswissenschaft - im Umgang mit den Lasten der Vergangenheit: bei der Ahndung von Kriegs- und Gewaltverbrechen, bei der "Wiedergutmachung" für die Opfer und der Entwicklung der politischen Kultur in einer shintôistisch bzw. protestantisch geprägten Erinnerungslandschaft bis hin zur Studentenbewegung der 1960er Jahre.
Der 150. Geburtstag von Anton von Rieppel, dem Erbauer der Müngstener Brücke und Firmengründer der MAN, gibt Anlaß, auf sein außerordentlich interessantes und erfolgreiches Lebenswerk zurückzublicken.
60 years after the trials of the main German war criminals, the articles in this book attempt to assess the Nuremberg Trials from a historical and legal point of view, and to illustrate connections, ...contradictions and consequences. In view of constantly reoccurring reports of mass crimes from all over the world, we have only reached the halfway point in the quest for an effective system of international criminal justice. With the legacy of Nuremberg in mind, this volume is a contribution to the search for answers to questions of how the law can be applied effectively and those committing crimes against humanity be brought to justice for their actions.

The long-term impact of globalization, outsourcing, and technological change on workers is increasingly being studied by economists. At the nexus of labor economics, industry studies, and industrial ...organization, The Analysis of Firms and Employees presents new findings about these impacts by examining the interaction between the internal workings of businesses and outside influences from the market using data from countries around the globe. The result is enhanced insight into the dynamic interrelationship between firms and workers. A distinguished team of researchers here examines the relationships between human resource practices and productivity, changing ownership and production methods, and expanding trade patterns and firm competitiveness. With analyses of large-scale, nationwide datasets as well as focused, intensive observation of a few firms, The Analysis of Firms and Employees will challenge economists, policymakers, and scholars alike to rethink their assumptions about the workplace.
The Globe Museum of the Austrian National Library holds two manuscript globes that are of interest with respect to late 19 th century history of science in Austria. These are a terrestrial globe ...showing the contours of main lands during the Upper Jura period (also known as "Malm", ca. 150 million years ago), as well as a Mars globe showing the allegedly discovered canals. The maker of the two globes was the geologist and paleo-climatologist Fritz Kerner von Marilaun (1866-1944), active at the Geologische Reichsanstalt (Geologische Bundesanstalt respectively) in Vienna. The two objects originally were standard terrestrial globes (⌀ 16 cm) published by the publishing house Jan Felkl. Shortly after 1890, Kerner painted the new cartographic representations over the printed gores. The map of the terrestrial globe is based on the ideas of the Bavarian geologist and paleontologist Melchior Neumayr (1845-1890) who had worked in Vienna. In his classic textbook, Erdgeschichte (1887/1890), the images of Jurassic continents are projected over those of today. According to the theory of "fixism" proposed by Neumayr and his famous colleague, Eduard Sueß, the entire area containing an earlier contiguous Mesozoic southern continent ("Gondwana") was submerged by what today are the Indian Ocean and the southern Atlantic Ocean. This supposedly happened without any horizontal movement of land masses. Kerner's Mars globe was based on observations by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli (1835-1910). Although Kerner's cartographic image is somewhat imprecise, the formations on the surface of Mars can be identified.
The terrestrial globe of the gigantic globe pair made by Vincenzo Coronelli for Louis XIV features a multilayered text, which could be studied from many points of view: I have examined here its ..."special geography", i.e. what we would call now its geographical contents from a regional or local angle. In particular, I have chosen as subject of this paper the representation of animals and human beings living on land (anything pertaining to waters - from winds and tides to boats, fishes, sailors, sea battles, or havens - being the field not of Geography but of Hydrography). The mass of information painted and written on its surface makes the globe one of the most valuable surviving sources of information about late XVII th century court culture, particularly in the fields of special geography and early natural history. It is my opinion that the scientific contents of the globe were much more important, in their evaluation by the public, than its symbolic meaning. This one has received by some scholars much more stress than it deserved. Personal preferences of the King are reflected in the decorative-informative system of the globe: its painted menagerie, its hunting human figures, its boats, was made to satisfy his personal curiosities, as documented by other sources. The globes were really designed for the Mirror Gallery of Versailles, as Coronelli states, and painted by the artists working at the palace. Of the original stands, planned but never realised, we have only a print by Coronelli. It shows that the globes were meant for a wide, elongated space.
Presented to Louis XIV in 1683, the great globes made by Coronelli to the order of Cardinal César d'Estrées spent over 200 years in packing cases rather than on public display, and this despite the ...fascination that they have never ceased to exert. After their brief period at Marly (1704-1715), they were transferred to the Royal Library which was delighted by this 'additional magnificence'. Although it was never made explicit, the symbolism of the globe as a synthesis of knowledge about the world no doubt influenced their deposit in the library. Here however, the "globe salon" was not entirely finished until 1782 even though the building itself was completed in 1730. What is more, despite concerted efforts for their display, they seem to have attracted little public attention and rapidly became highly cumbersome objects for a library which, in the 19 th century, was constantly in search of additional space for its reserves and reading rooms. After much hesitation they were transferred to Versailles in 1915. What are the reasons underlying these vicissitudes? The present of an ambitious courtier, and no doubt a nuisance for their recipient, objects of science but outdated even before they were mounted, remarkable art-objects, but on a colossal scale (3.90 metres diameter and 6.40 metres high) requiring a space in proportion to their size, the Coronelli globes rapidly became mere historical objects of curiosity before they acquired status as 'precious documents for the state of geographical science at the end of the 17 th century'.
