The Cold War was not only about the imperial ambitions of the super
powers, their military strategies, and antagonistic ideologies. It
was also about conflicting worldviews and their correlates in the
daily life of the societies involved. The term "Cold War Culture"
is often used in a broad sense to describe media influences, social
practices, and symbolic representations as they shape, and are
shaped by, international relations. Yet, it remains in question
whether - or to what extent - the Cold War Culture model can be
applied to European societies, both in the East and the West. While
every European country had to adapt to the constraints imposed by
the Cold War, individual development was affected by specific
conditions as detailed in these chapters. This volume offers an
important contribution to the international debate on this issue of
the Cold War impact on everyday life by providing a better
understanding of its history and legacy in Eastern and Western
Europe.

Die Begrundung und schrittweise Durchsetzung einer liberalen
Demokratie in Westdeutschland war ein Vorgang, welcher auch und
gerade von den alteren Kultureliten betrachtliche Wandlungsprozesse
und Anpassungsleistungen verlangte. Anhand der Lebenswege der
beiden Publizisten Karl Korn (1908-1991) und Peter de Mendelssohn
(1908-1982) werden diese Orientierungsversuche auf biographischer
Ebene exemplarisch erschlossen und in die politisch-kulturellen
Kommunikationsformen des Feuilletonjournalismus nach 1945
eingeordnet. Die Studie rekonstruiert die intellektuelle
Selbstverstandigung der fruhen Bundesrepublik und zeigt die
Uberlagerung von deutschen Geistestraditionen und westlichen
Einflussen auf."
This volume sheds light on how lawyers have made sense of, engaged
in, and shaped international politics over the past three hundred
years. Chapters show how politicians and administrators, diplomats
and military men, have considered their tasks in legal terms, and
how the field of international relations has been filled with the
distinctly legal vocabulary of laws, regulations, treaties,
agreements, and conventions. Leading experts in the field provide
insights into what it means when concrete decisions are taken,
negotiations led, or controversies articulated and resolved by
legal professionals. They also inquire into how the
often-criticised gaps between juristic standards and everyday
realities can be explained by looking at the very medium of law.
Rather than sorting people and problems into binary categories such
as 'law' and 'politics' or 'theory' and 'practice', the case
studies in this volume reflect on these dichotomies and dissolve
them into the messy realities of conflicts and interactions which
take place in historically contingent situations, and in which
international lawyers assume varying personas.
