Abstract

The project of European integration has undergone a succession of shocks, beginning with the Eurozone crisis, followed by reactions to the sudden growth of irregular migration, and, most recently, the Coronavirus pandemic. These shocks have politicised questions related to the governance of borders and markets that for decades had been beyond the realm of contestation. For some time, these questions have been spilling over into domestic and European electoral politics, with the rise of “populist” and Eurosceptic parties. Increasingly, however, the crises have begun to reshape the liberal narrative that have been central to the European project. This book charts the rise of contestation over the meaning of “Europe”, particularly in light of the Coronavirus crisis and Brexit. Drawing together cutting edge, interdisciplinary scholarship from across the continent, it questions not merely the traditional conflict between European and nationalist politics, but the impact of contestation on the assumed “cosmopolitan” values of Europe.

Abstract

This open access book explores a special species of trouble afflicting modern societies: creeping crises. These crises evolve over time, reveal themselves in different ways, and resist comprehensive responses despite periodic public attention. As a result, these crises continue to creep in front of our eyes. This book begins by defining the concept of a creeping crisis, showing how existing literature fails to properly define and explore this phenomenon and outlining the challenges such crises pose to practitioners. Drawing on ongoing research, this book presents a diverse set of case studies on: antimicrobial resistance, climate change-induced migration, energy extraction, big data, Covid-19, migration, foreign fighters, and cyberattacks. Each chapter explores how creeping crises come into existence, why they can develop unimpeded, and the consequences they bring in terms of damage and legitimacy loss. The book provides a proof-of-concept to help launch the systematic study of creeping crises. Our analysis helps academics understand a new species of threat and practitioners recognize and prepare for creeping crises.

Abstract

For the people in the Early Modern Age, famines were regularly recurring phenomena. So not less than eight of these crises happened in the areas of Lower Saxony between 1690 and 1750, which had a lasting impact on various aspects of life for the contemporaries. Therefore topics of different historical subdisciplines like economic, social, cultural and environmental history are dealt with in this dissertation. Thus, this thesis aims to bridge the gap between climatically and socially determined patterns of hunger. With the help of the concept of vulnerability it is shown that hunger crises can neither be ascribed to natural processes nor human operations exclusively. In fact they were the outcome of a chain of human-nature-interactions and were perceived as such by the contemporaries. A further emphasis of this book is put on the examination of contemporary coping strategies. The hereby worked out explanatory and interpretive models proved to be determining how the contemporaries tried to cope with hunger on a personal and joint level. Regarding the latter it is shown that famines played a decisive role in the consolidation of leadership in the Early Modern Age. Because of their regular recurrence they worked as focal points of the negotiation of sovereignity between authorities and subjects more than any other crisis situation in this process. Hungersnöte und Teuerungen waren für die Menschen der Frühen Neuzeit regelmäßig wiederkehrende Phänomene. So ereigneten sich zwischen 1690 und 1750 nicht weniger als acht derartige Krisen im niedersächsischen Raum, welche sich umfassend auf verschiedene Lebensbereiche der Zeitgenossen auswirkten, weshalb Themen unterschiedlicher historischer Subdisziplinen wie der Wirtschafts-, Sozial-, Kultur- und Umweltgeschichte in dieser Arbeit behandelt werden. Dieses Buch versteht sich dabei als ein Beitrag zur Überwindung der Frontstellung von klima- und sozialdeterministischen Hungermodellen. Mithilfe des Konzeptes der Vulnerabilität wird dargestellt, dass sich Hungerkrisen weder rein auf natürliche Prozesse noch rein auf das menschliche Agieren zurückführen lassen. Vielmehr waren sie das Produkt einer Kette von Mensch-Natur-Interaktionen und wurden von den Zeitgenossen auch so wahrgenommen. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit liegt auf der Untersuchung zeitgenössischer Bewältigungsstrategien. Die herausgearbeiteten Erklärungs- und Deutungsmuster erweisen sich dabei als bestimmend dafür, wie die Zeitgenossen auf persönlicher und gemeinschaftlicher Ebene versuchten, die Krisen abzuwenden. Hinsichtlich letzterem zeigt sich, dass Teuerungen im Herrschaftsverdichtungsprozess der Frühen Neuzeit eine besondere Rolle besaßen. Sie dienten aufgrund ihrer regelmäßigen Wiederkehr stärker als andere Krisensituationen als Kristallisationspunkte des „Aushandelns von Herrschaft“ zwischen Untertanen und Obrigkeiten in diesem Prozess.
