This ground breaking volume offers a range of alternative approaches to political science, highlighting problems too rarely confronted by "mainstream" political scientists. Ranging from Gunfighter Sagas to the changing faces of an imaginary Mars, the innovative chapters introduce whole new ways of rethinking politics, stirring up the all too conventional ways of the discipline.

Anlässlich ihres 30-jährigen Gründungsjubiläums legt die Deutsch-Russische Juristenvereinigung eine aktuelle Bestandsaufnahme des deutsch-russischen Rechtsdialogs vor. Lange von Offenheit und Annäherung geprägt, wird dieser Austausch seit einigen Jahren durch die politische Entfremdung beider Länder erschwert. Ungeachtet dessen hat der Dialog zwischen deutschen und russischen Juristen nichts an Lebendigkeit eingebüßt: Zweisprachige Studiengänge, wissenschaftliche Kooperationen, der Deutsch-Russische Juristenpreis, Zusammenarbeit bei der praktischen Rechtsanwendung sind nur einige Facetten des Rechtsdialogs zwischen Deutschland und Russland. Die traditionelle Nähe der beiden Rechtsordnungen spielt dabei ebenso eine Rolle wie die gewachsenen persönlichen Kontakte. Über 20 Autoren aus sieben Ländern zeigen in ihren Beiträgen, wie eng diese Verbindungen mittlerweile sind, verdeutlichen aber auch Herausforderungen und Chancen des Austauschs. Vor allem aber beweisen sie, dass der deutsch-russische Rechtsdialog stets zwischen Menschen stattfindet, die sich schätzen und engagieren

Der Hamburger Historiker Peter Borowsky (1938-2000), ein "Schüler" Fritz Fischers, vermochte als Autor auflagenstarker Geschichtswerke und vor allem als akademischer Lehrer nachhaltige Wirkung zu entfalten. Die gemeinsam mit Barbara Vogel und Heide Wunder verfasste, 1975 erstmals erschienene "Einführung in die Geschichtswissenschaft" ist bis heute ein wissenschaftlicher "Bestseller"; Borowskys Hitler-Biographie für Jugendliche und seine Überblicksdarstellungen zur Deutschen Geschichte nach 1945 erreichten ebenfalls ein großes Publikum. Kaum messbar ist Peter Borowskys immense Leistung als Lehrender an der Universität Hamburg sowie an den renommierten amerikanischen Hochschulen Smith College und Middlebury College. Die 13 Autorinnen und 34 Autoren der Gedenkschrift aus der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und den USA repräsentieren diverse Generationen, zahlreiche Fachgebiete und verschiedene wissenschaftstheoretische Ansätze. Das Themenspektrum umfasst - neben Texten über Peter Borowsky - Beiträge zu den Bereichen Theorie, Geschlechtergeschichte, Deutsches Kaiserreich, Weimarer Republik, "Drittes Reich", Deutschland nach 1945, Hamburgische Geschichte, Europäische Geschichte, Wissenschafts- und Hochschulgeschichte sowie Kultur. Konzeptionelle Offenheit und - keineswegs beliebige - Vielfalt kennzeichnen den Band, der auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise zur spannenden Lektüre einladen und Lust auf Geschichte machen soll

On October 13, 2000 the historian Peter Borowsky, a "pupil" of Fritz Fischer, died at the age of 62. He has worked at the University of Hamburg for almost four decades: as a student, research assistant, senior scientific officer and private lecturer for modern and contemporary history. In 1996, he was awarded the title of "Professor"; however, he was denied a professorship. As an author of high-circulation historical works, Peter Borowsky reached a large audience. Written jointly with Barbara Vogel and Heide Wunder, the introduction to history first published in 1975 is still a scientific "best-seller"to this day; Borowsky's Hitler biography for young people and his overview of German history after 1945 also experienced numerous editions. However, the focus of his work was on academic teaching, in which he achieved outstanding results. Generations of history students were taught, supervised and shaped by him - at the University of Hamburg as well as at Smith College, Northampton/Massachusetts, where the scholar has regularly held a visiting professorship since 1974. The partnership between these two universities was embodied by Peter Borowsky. The academic commemoration ceremonies in his honour - in February 2001 at the University of Hamburg and the following month at Smith College - conveyed a moving impression. A selection of the speeches given there and previously at the funeral service at the Nienstedten cemetery is summarized in this booklet. At the same time, an extensive commemorative volume was published on June 3, 2003, the 65th anniversary of Peter Borowsky's birth, the title "Lebendige Sozialgeschichte. Borowskys Forschungsfelder" (Living Social History. Borowskys Research Fields) is intended to emphasize the content and methodology of Borowsky's work and at the same time to accentuate his special way of conveying history
