During the last four decades the German Revolution 1918/19 has only attracted little scholarly attention. This volume offers new cultural historical perspectives, puts this revolution into a wider time frame (1916-23), and coheres around three interlinked propositions: (i) acknowledging that during its initial stage the German Revolution reflected an intense social and political challenge to state authority and its monopoly of physical violence, (ii) it was also replete with »Angst«-ridden wrangling over its longer-term meaning and direction, and (iii) was characterized by competing social movements that tried to cultivate citizenship in a new, unknown state

Der Beitrag zu den institutionellen Entwicklungen der inneren Sicherheit in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung der Länderpolizeien. In einem ersten Schritt werden die Verläufe in den 1950er Jahren beschrieben. Dazu gehören (1) die Erneuerung des Polizeirechts durch die Länder, (2) die Tradition und Vergangenheitsbewältigung sowie (3) die Wandlung polizeilicher Tätigkeitsfelder. Der zweite Schritt befasst sich sodann mit den Entwicklungen in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren, die durch (1) den organisatorischen Wandel, (2) die Alltagsarbeit der Funkstreifen, (3) das Verhältnis von Funkstreifen und Bevölkerung sowie (4) die Phase der polizeilichen Reformen geprägt ist. Der dritte Schritt widmet sich abschließend den Ausrichtungen in den 1980er und 1990er Jahren, wozu folgende Aspekte zählen: (1) grundsätzliche Trends und veränderte demokratische, rechtsstaatliche und sozialstaatliche Rahmenbedingungen, (2) die 'polizeiliche Wiedervereinigung', (3) Deeskalation und Bürgerorientierung bzw. (4) die Neuorganisation der Polizei in Richtung leistungsfähiger Organisationseinheiten. (ICG2)
