Main description: This volume contains the records of the international Freiburg Colloquium of the same name which was held by the Medieval Institute of the University of Freiburg from October 19 to 21, 2009. The academic reconstruction of the conception and perception of space in the culture of the Latin Middle Ages requires a differentiated treatment and corresponding competencies - something which can be realized only through an interdisciplinary approach. Each contributor to this volume examines the given theme from the perspective of his or her own specialist field.

Der Supplementband ergänzt die 2006 bis 2009 erschienene siebenbändige Ausgabe der Constitutional Documents of the United States of America 1776–1860. Er enthält 14 Verfassungsdokumente zu acht verschiedenen Bundesstaaten die erst jetzt in amerikanischen Bibliotheken und Archiven zugänglich wurden. Darunter ist u. a. auch die Verfassung der kurzlebigen, 1832 bis 1835 von New Hampshire abgespaltenen "Republic of Indian Stream", sowie seltene englisch- und spanischsprachige Verfassungsdokumente aus New Mexico und Texas. Die Texte wurden auf der Grundlage der mitunter seltenen Originaldrucke der offiziellen Staats- oder Konventsdrucker unter Hinzuziehung der Originalmanuskripte ediert, annotiert und indexiert

Når regjeringen legger fram en ny stortingsmelding om nordområdene høsten 2020, er det nesten et tiår siden forrige melding ble presentert. Veldig mye har endret seg siden da, ikke minst i form av Kinas fremvekst, økt spenning mellom NATO og Russland, og en reaksjonær amerikansk president. Nordområdene og hele det sirkumpolare Arktis har blitt en arena for symbolpolitikk og militær øvelsesaktivitet, samtidig som de arktiske landene fortsetter å samarbeide om en rekke saker. Midt i dette står Norge. Denne introduksjonsartikkelen til fokusnummeret om Norge, nordområdene og utenrikspolitikk trekker de store linjene i utviklingen de seneste årene med hensyn på Norges posisjon og rolle. Den introduserer også de andre bidragene og peker på noen av de mest aktuelle funnene som vi bli diskutert.
Abstract in English:Introduction to Focus Issue: Norway, the High North and Foreign PolicyWhen the Norwegian government presents a new report to the parliament on its High North policy in the autumn of 2020, almost a decade has passed since the previous report was presented. A lot has changed since then, not least in the form of China's emergence, increased tensions between NATO and Russia, and a reactionary US president. The High North and the entire circumpolar Arctic have become an arena for symbol politics and military exercise activity, while the Arctic countries continue to co-operate on a number of issues. In the middle of this is Norway. This introductory article to the focus issue on Norway, the High North and foreign policy examines the broad lines of developments in recent years with regard to Norway's position and role in the north. It also introduces the other contributions and points to some of the most relevant findings that are being discussed.
