"Events related to the Arab uprisings, ISIS’s rise to power and Russia’s aggression against parts of Ukraine in 2014 posed complex, though distinct challenges for the Federal Republic of Germany. How well were German leaders and officials informed about nascent as well as short-term developments beforehand and once these crises erupted? The widely shared appearance of sharp discontinuity in the way related historical processes unfolded raises questions about the degree to which decision makers and officials in government were taken by surprise."

The seizure of power by the National Socialists in January 1933 is a key event in world history. Hitler's rapid consolidation of power and the elimination of democracy virtually overnight still astonish and shock to this day. And to this day, historians disagree about the reasons for the end of the Weimar Republic and the rapid success of the National Socialists.
This book casts an international perspective on the epochal year 1933 90 years later and explores the questions: How could it happen? How can something similar happen again? And can we learn anything from it in times when democracies are under pressure and dictatorships are on the rise?

Maximilian Mayer and Yen-Chi Lu develop a Digital Dependency Index (DDI) that provides a precise description of the state of digital dependencies in a global comparison. With the help of the DDI, the complex subject of strategic digital policy can also be better mapped: Worldwide, 23 economically leading countries were identified as having different degrees of digital dependency in terms of trade in digital goods and services, in the area of information and communication infrastructures, and with regard to intellectual property rights for digital technologies.
In diesem Arbeitspapier beschreiben u.a. Katharina Cramer, Maximilian Mayer und Philip Nock kritische Unterbrechungen der grenzüberschreitenden Pflegebeziehungen und -arrangements aufgrund der Einführung von Grenzbeschränkungen zu Beginn der COVID-19-Krise in Deutschland und Vietnam. Die Autor:innen argumentieren, dass die spezifischen (geo)politischen Konstellationen und die besonderen sozioökonomischen Kontexte und Verbindungen der Pflege innerhalb und außerhalb dieser Länder entscheidende Aspekte dafür sind, wie und in welchem Ausmaß die Grenzbeschränkungen in jedem dieser beiden Länder variierten und unterschiedliche Härten für verschiedene Arten von Pflegebeziehungen verursachten.
