Der Titel "Kriegsherren" mag auf den 1. Blick falsche Assoziationen hervorrufen: Es geht aber nicht um kriegerische "Helden", auch nicht um "Warlords", kriegerische Unternehmer, wie sie heute wieder aus der 3. Welt bekannt sind. Gemeint sind vielmehr "historische Persönlichkeiten, die zur gleichen Zeit politische und militärische Funktionen auf sich vereinigt haben ..." wie die Herausgeber in der Einleitung ausführlich verdeutlichen. 22 HistorikerInnen zeigen in ebenso vielen wissenschaftlichen Aufsätzen, "biografischen Skizzen", welchen Handlungsspielraum die Kriegsherren innerhalb der Kräfteverhältnisse und Strukuren ihrer Zeit hatten. Da alle AutorInnen Militärgeschichte nur als einen Arbeitsschwerpunkt haben, bleibt der Blickwinkel offen auf die allgemeine Geschichte gerichtet.

The voluntary sector has long been seen as the foundation of a healthy civil society (DeTocqueville, 1961; Leonard & Onyx, 2003). Yet, substantial growth in the last two decades in demand for voluntary sector services in Canada has been accompanied by a significant reduction in government resources supporting the sector's activities (Browne, 1996). This confluence of sector growth and decreased governmental support has resulted in increased competition among voluntary organizations for both capital and human resources (Meinhard & Foster, 2000). Furthermore, the ethnic transformation of Canadian society raises knowledge, policy and practical issues across all sectors, including the voluntary sector. These conditions have pushed many in the voluntary sector to reach beyond their traditional bases of support to consider hitherto untapped segments of society. However, research on the Canadian voluntary sector, particularly with a cross-cultural lens, is a relatively new research domain, with many gaps in the knowledge base. Berger (2004) and Berger & Azaria (2004) have proposed, tested and supported a framework that traces the relationship between sub-group identity and volunteering, as mediated by attitudes, norms and social barriers. In this paper we extend this framework in order to consider the role of volunteering in social integration. (See Figure 1 below.) We use the 2002 Ethnic Diversity Survey (EDS) not only to investigate this relationship in general, but also to examine how it might be moderated by generation and ethnic identification.
