This book focuses on the clarification of what actually a handbook is, the systematic identification of what ought to be considered as "settled knowledge" (extracted from historic repositories) for inclusion into such a handbook, and the "assembly" of such identified knowledge into a form which is fit for the purpose and conforms to the formal characteristics of handbooks as a "literary genre". For many newly emerging domains or disciplines, for which no handbook with normative authority has yet been defined, the question arises of how to do this systematically and in a non-arbitrary manner. This book is the first to reflect upon the question of how to construct a desktop handbook. It is demonstrated how concept analysis can be used for identifying settled knowledge as the key ingredient by utilizing the assembled data for classification; a presentation scheme for handbook articles is developed and demonstrated to be suitable. The sketched approach is then illustrated by an example from the railway safety domain. Finally, the limitations of the presented methods are discussed. The key contribution of this book is the (example illustrated) construction method itself, not the handbook, which would result from a highly detailed and thoroughly comprehensive application of the method.

Die "Goldenen Jahre" hohen Wirtschaftswachstums und beschleunigten strukturellen Wandels nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zahlen zu den pragnantesten Abschnitten der neueren Zeitgeschichte. Zwischen den ausgehenden 1940er Jahren und der Rezession nach 1973 erlebten die westlichen Industriestaaten eine beispiellose Phase der Prosperitat. Allerdings verlief der begleitende sozialokonomische Wandlungsprozess in den Regionen der Bundesrepublik keineswegs einheitlich, wie Stefan Gruner am Beispiel Bayerns nachweisen kann. Bayern stieg vom Agrarland zu einer fuhrenden Industrie- und Dienstleistungsregion auf und entwickelte sich neben Baden-Wurttemberg zum dynamischsten Bundesland. Im Mittelpunkt der Analyse steht die Frage nach den Moglichkeiten, aber auch den Grenzen politischer Steuerung: Welche Rolle spielten dabei Perzeptionen und Leitbilder? Drangen Lenkungskonzeptionen, finanzpolitische, raumordnende und regionalwirtschaftliche Strategien wirklich durch?"

Kaum ein Staatsmann Frankreichs hat bereits zu Lebzeiten so kontroverse Einschatzungen hervorgerufen oder ein vergleichbares Mass an Anfeindungen selbst aus dem eigenen Lager auf sich gezogen wie Paul Reynaud. Sein gluckloses Agieren als Ministerprasident und die Umstande seines Rucktritts im Fruhsommer 1940 verknupfen seinen Namen zudem mit einem Abschnitt der franzosischen Zeitgeschichte, der das kollektive Gedachtnis des Landes traumatisch belastet hat. Die katastrophale militarische Niederlage und die anschliessende Selbstpreisgabe der parlamentarischen Demokratie uberschatten so zu Unrecht das politische Lebenswerk eines Mannes, der lange als einer der innovativsten und mutigsten Politiker Frankreichs aufgetreten war. Die Untersuchung folgt ihrem Protagonisten auf wichtige Reflexions- und Handlungsfelder und erarbeitet ein Politikerprofil, das in vielem als paradigmatisch fur die noch uber den Zweiten Weltkrieg hinaus parteigeschichtlich kaum fassbare rechte Mitte Frankreichs gelten kann. Stefan Gruner ist Wissenschaftlicher Assistent am Lehrstuhl fur Neuere und Neueste Geschichte der Universitat Augsburg Paul Reynaud was one of the few French statesmen whose activities were controversial even while he was still alive. His unfortunate term as Prime Minister and the circumstances of his abduction 1940 will forever link him to the issue of the German occupation of France, a situation which has left a deep impact in the French collective consciousness. Gruner works to show the unknown facets of Reynauds biography and personality and proves that he was one of the most innovative politicians of his time.
