    W. E. B. Du Bois was one of the most significant American political thinkers of the twentieth century. This volume collects 24 of his essays and speeches on international themes, spanning the years 1900-1956. These key texts reveal Du Bois's distinctive approach to the problem of empire and demonstrate his continued importance in our current global context. The volume charts the development of Du Bois's anti-imperial thought, drawing attention to his persistent concern with the relationship between democracy and empire and illustrating the divergent inflections of this theme in the context of a shifting geopolitical terrain; unprecedented political crises, especially during the two world wars; and new opportunities for transnational solidarity. With a critical introduction and extensive editorial notes, W.E.B. Du Bois: International Thought conveys both the coherence and continuity of Du Bois's international thought across his long life and the tremendous range and variety of his preoccupations, intellectual sources, and interlocutors

    Japan ist eines der wenigen nicht-europäischen Länder, die mit Deutschland gemeinsame Werte und Herausforderungen, aber auch eine vergleichbare Modernisierungsgeschichte teilen. Umso aufschlussreicher erscheint die gemeinsame Suche nach Antworten auf dringende Fragen beider Gesellschaften. In diesem Sinne veranstalteten aus Anlass des Jubiläums "160 Jahre Freundschaft Japan - Deutschland" das Japanische Kulturinstitut Köln, die Universität Bonn und die Universität zu Köln zweimal gemeinsam eine Ringvorlesung. In der ersten Reihe 2021 wurden konkrete Kooperationsprojekte vorgestellt, die demonstrierten, in wie vielen, vor allem naturwissenschaftlichen Bereichen auf vielfältige Weise gemeinsame Forschung betrieben wird. In der zweiten Reihe 2022 meldeten sich japanische Forscherinnen und Forscher direkt aus Japan auf Deutsch zu Wort und analysierten kritisch die Kultur und Gesellschaft Japans, speziell für das deutsche Publikum. Dieser Band bietet einen umfassenden Einblick in den aktuellen Stand des deutsch-japanischen Wissenschaftsaustauschs

    Verteidigung der Demokratie Alle reden von der Verantwortung der vierten Gewalt. Was aber ist mit der dritten, der rechtsprechenden Gewalt? Spätestens seit dem NSU-Prozess und dem Karlsruher Urteil zur Generationengerechtigkeit beim Klimaschutz ist deutlich geworden, wie wichtig die Rolle der Justiz in einer lebendigen Demokratie ist. Heißt Rechtsprechung aber auch Gerechtigkeit? Welche Rolle spielt die Öffentlichkeit? Und wie kann man behördliches Versagen in den Institutionen kritisieren, ohne den falschen Leuten in die Hände zu spielen? Mit Beiträgen von Kathrin Röggla, Senthuran Varatharajah u.v.a

    'China's first iconic modern intellectual. His lucid and prolific writings, touching on all major concerns in his own time and anticipating many in the future, inspired several generations of thinkers' Pankaj Mishra'A country does not become corrupt and weak overnight. Rather, we are now reaping the evil harvest of what previous generations sowed.'The power, anger and fluency of Liang Qichao's writings make him one of the towering figures in modern Chinese literature. He saw his great, almost unmanageable task as an attempt to write China into the new era - to provide an ancient country, devastated by civil war and foreign predators, with the intellectual equipment to renew itself.Liang said that he wrote from an 'ice-drinker's studio', implying that underneath his dispassionate, disabused and rational tone lay an ardour and passion which only ice could cool. China could only recover through a clear-sighted, informed understanding of its enemies - and by engaging in a thorough-going self-critique. Liang did not propose aping the West but taking only what China needed to 'renew the people' and create 'new citizens'. Then China would be able to expel its invaders, reform its society and become a great power once more.This selection of pieces shows Liang's extraordinary range and the burning sense of mission which drove him on, attempting to galvanize and refresh an entire nation. Blending together Confucianism, Buddhism and the Western Enlightenment, Liang's ideas about nation, democracy, and morality had a profound impact on Chinese visions of the political order, though the China that eventually emerged from the further disasters of the 1930s and 1940s would be a very different one

    Dictatorship in Fact and in Fiction focuses on independence movements led by dictadores in Latin America and the Caribbean. It presents theses and antitheses concerning the intellectual determinants and social conditions that give rise to and sustain what many call dictatorships. It also considers the false attribution of dictatorship , relying sometimes on the stigma produced by the word and its cognates to refer to such figures as José Martí, Simón Bolívar, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez. Paraguayans named their dictador, José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, El supremo Dictador Perpetuo . Unlike his fellow dictadores , such as Simón Bolívar, who achieved Independence by daunting deeds of physical and intellectual leadership, Francia ensured Paraguay s independence by enhancing its unity and productivity. And yet Sarmiento, despite his ethnic cleansing, is more widely admired. This example points to our moral duty to define dictatorship and, by extension, to the indispensability of the present volume

The volume charts the development of Du Bois's anti-imperial thought, drawing attention to his persistent concern with the relationship between democracy and empire and illustrating the divergent inflections of this theme in the context of a shifting geopolitical terrain; unprecedented political crises, especially during the two world wars; and new opportunities for transnational solidarity.
