Russland, Faschismus und Antifaschismus

Russland, Faschismus und Antifaschismus

Zwei Jahre nach Beginn der Großinvasion Russlands in der Ukraine beschuldigen sich beide Länder weiterhin gegenseitig des Faschismus. Einerseits hat Moskau eine kohärente Ideologie um die Idee herum aufgebaut, eine antifaschistische Macht zu sein, die Europa und seine traditionellen Werte vor einer liberal-faschistischen Bedrohung rettet, und rechtfertigt die Invasion im Namen einer Neuauflage des „Großen Vaterländischen Krieges“, also des Zweiten Weltkriegs.

Ukraine’s Decentralization

Political Uncertainty

Political Uncertainty

This timely book provides a comprehensive, multi-dimensional and comparative analysis of political uncertainty. It is innovative in introducing the notions of inter-institutional, verbally induced, and historical uncertainty. It argues for an inclusive approach which considers multiple aspects of uncertainty, even when they are of a different nature.
