Trotz des Gegensatzes zweier Parteien - zunächst der Whigs und der Tories, dann der Liberalen und der Konservativen - war Großbritannien im 19. Jahrhundert von einer politischen Kultur der Mäßigung geprägt. Träger dieser politischen Kultur war eine Gruppe von Politikern, die stets den Mittelweg zwischen den Extremen suchten und als Liberal Tories bzw. Liberal Conservatives bezeichnet wurden. Das vorliegende Buch schließt eine Forschungslücke, indem es die Entwicklung dieses britischen Liberalkonservatismus in der Zeit von 1750 bis 1850 untersucht und dabei zunächst die politische Philosophie Edmund Burkes in den Blick nimmt, um dann zu zeigen, wie die auf ihn folgenden Liberal Tories bzw. Liberal Conservatives an sein Denken anknüpften. Es führt vor Augen, wie Politiker wie George Canning und Sir Robert Peel, ausgehend von Burke und der politischen Philosophie der "Old Whigs", eine Politik der Mitte führten, die sich stets an den Tugenden der Mäßigung und der Klugheit orientierten. Damit beleuchtet das Buch die konservative Variante des Liberalismus, der Großbritannien das gesamte 19. Jahrhundert hindurch prägte.

Nature and Power traces the expanding scope of environmental action over the course of history: from initiatives undertaken by individual villages and cities, environmental policy has become a global concern. Efforts to steer human use of nature and natural resources have become complicated, as Nature and Power shows, by particularities of culture and by the vagaries of human nature itself. Environmental history, the author argues, is ultimately the history of human hopes and fears.

This volume explores the history of humanitarian aid revealing fundamental dilemmas inherent in humanitarian practice for more than a century. The contributions analyse humanitarianism from the point of view of Europe and the West, and from the colonies and the Third World, revealing uneven developments and contingencies of change. Emphasis is put on the coming together of different forces, events, and structures at particular times, explaining the dilemmas faced up to the present day.0The historical studies in this volume are based on multi-archival research. They start with the foundations of international humanitarianism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, highlighting state interests, religious motivations and imperial reform. From these beginnings, humanitarian aid grew strongly in volume and organization during the first half of the twentieth century. The contributions show developments in the shadow of colonialism and two world wars covering Europe, northern Africa, China and transatlantic relations. After 1945 humanitarian practice stood at the intersection of Cold War and decolonization. Wars of independence, direct confrontations between East and West in the Third World, and the growth of development policy affected humanitarian practice, its scope and challenges. The most recent period of global humanitarianism is explored in essays on the role of non-Western areas in humanitarian governance, relations between concern for others and the self in prominent global organizations, and the practice of aid workers on the spot.

""Definierbar"", so Friedrich Nietzsche, sei nur, ""was keine Geschichte hat."" Das Problem einer verbindlichen Definition von Liberalismus ist selbst das Ergebnis eines komplexen historischen Prozesses, in dem aus antiken Ursprüngen, aus liberalis und liberalitas, und aus vorpolitischen Bedeutungen schließlich der moderne Begriff Liberalismus entstand. Aber innerhalb des Umbruchs der altständischen Lebenswelt seit dem Ausgang des 18. Jahrhunderts bündelten sich in der Geschichte des neuartigen Deutungsmusters Liberalismus ganz unterschiedliche Erfahrungen und Erwartungen der Zeitgenossen. Ein
