The important and groundbreaking volume, The Professional Identity of the Human Rights Field Officer, completes the study of human rights field work begun in the earlier The Human Rights Field Operation: Law Theory and Practice (2007: Ashgate).

Do human rights offer real protection when disadvantaged groups invoke them at the local level in an attempt to improve their living conditions? If so, how can we make sure that the experiences of those invoking human rights at the local level have an impact on the further development of human rights (at national and other levels) so that the local relevance of human rights increases? Since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on 10 December 1948, numerous international documents have reaffirmed human rights as global norms. This book examines what factors determine whether appeals to human rights that emanate from the local level are successful, and whether the UDHR adequately responds to threats as currently defined by relevant groups or whether a revision of some of the ideas included in the UDHR is needed in order to increase its contemporary relevance.

Confessions (denominations) are public, communal statements by a religious group about their central beliefs. They serve to form denominational identities and have a normative claim. Based on the Dordrecht Synod (1618/1619), the volume asks about the many debates surrounding the confession in Europe since the 16th century. Along with the debates about the content and validity claims of Reformed denominations, questions about liturgy and ordination went hand in hand, as examples from Reformed Switzerland show, where freedom of religion was implemented in the 19th century. The question of the validity and relevance of creeds remains of central theological importance in the 20th and 21st centuries in view of the growing sacularity.
Eine Geschichte des reformierten Protestantismus in Deutschland im 20. Jahrhunderts ist bisher nicht erschienen. Sie ist ein dringendes Desiderat, da die Reformierten in der Erforschung der neueren Kirchengeschichte wenig Beachtung finden, obwohl sie immer wieder besondere Facetten und Nuancen innerhalb des Protestantismus darstellten. Dass Reformierte sich als Minderheitenkonfession zumeist marginalisiert empfunden und ein entsprechendes SelbstverstAndnis gera-dezu habituell gepflegt haben, ist ein mitlaufender Untersuchungsgegenstand der BeitrAge dieses Bandes. Sie behandeln reprAsentative Personen (Theologen, KirchenfunktionAre, aber auch eine Gemeindeschwester), Regionen und Milieus, charakteristische Themen, Zeitabschnitte wie den Ersten Weltkrieg und den Kirchenkampf, herausragende Jahre wie auch JubilAen, in denen sich das SelbstverstAndnis der Reformierten manifestierte. Diese Studien zur Kirchlichen Zeitgeschichte wollen ergAnzende BeitrAge fA"r die Kirchengeschichtsschreibung sein sowie innerhalb des reformierten Protestantismus zum selbstkritischen RA"ckblick verhelfen. Sie sind der Versuch einer Konfessionsgeschichte, die nicht einengt, sondern ergAnzt und vertieft. Sie sind aus einer affirmativen Perspektive verfasst, sind aber weder apologetisch noch polemisch, sondern kritisch und dekonstruierend intendiert, sie sind wissenschaftlich zu verantworten und stellen gleichzeitig einen Beitrag zur konfessionellen Erinnerungskultur dar.
