Protektion ist ein Schlüsselbegriff der politisch-sozialen Sprache der europäischen Neuzeit. Der Band rückt die sich wandelnden Semantiken und Praktiken des Schutzes vom 16. bis frühen 20. Jahrhundert erstmals systematisch in den Blick. Die Beiträge spannen einen weiten Bogen von Jean Bodins Definition von Protektion als ungleiche Allianz über das völkerrechtliche Institut des Protektorats bis hin zu den gegenwärtigen Debatten um eine responsibility to protect. Ausgewählte Fallbeispiele zeigen auf, dass politische Schutzverhältnisse nicht nur ein Macht- und Legitimationsinstrument der Großen waren. Sie stellten auch eine Option für mindermächtige Akteure dar, um ihre Unabhängigkeit zu wahren oder sich gegen Übergriffe des eigenen Herrschers zur Wehr zu setzen. Zugleich konnte die erlangte Sicherheit jedoch stets wieder in den Verlust der eigenen Selbständigkeit münden.

François Mitterrand zählt zu den schillerndsten französischen Staatsmännern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seit langem ist bekannt, dass er seine ambivalente Vita bewusst "begradigt" und in einem Dickicht von Geheimnissen verhüllt hat. Zu dieser Inszenierung gehört vor allem seine Selbststilisierung zum fast lebenslangen Verfechter der deutsch-französischen Freundschaft. Ulrich Lappenküper enträtselt die "Sphinx" Mitterrand und bestimmt dabei auch die Grenzen zwischen Dichtung und Wahrheit. Ulrich Lappenküper ist für sein Werk 2011 mit dem Émile-und-Aline Mayrisch-Preis geehrt worden.

Irene L. Gendzier presents incontrovertible evidence that oil politics played a significant role in the founding of Israel, the policy then adopted by the United States toward Palestinians, and subsequent U.S. involvement in the region. Consulting declassified U.S. government sources, as well as papers in the H.S. Truman Library, she uncovers little-known features of U.S. involvement in the region, including significant exchanges in the winter and spring of 1948 between the director of the Oil and Gas Division of the Interior Department and the representative of the Jewish Agency in the United States, months before Israel's independence and recognition by President Truman. Gendzier also shows that U.S. consuls and representatives abroad informed State Department officials, including the Secretary of State and the President, of the deleterious consequences of partition in Palestine. Yet the attempt to reconsider partition and replace it with a UN trusteeship for Palestine failed, jettisoned by Israel's declaration of independence. The results altered the regional balance of power and Washington's calculations of policy toward the new state. Prior to that, Gendzier reveals the U.S. endorsed the repatriation of Palestinian refugees in accord with UNGA Res 194 of Dec. 11, 1948, in addition to the resolution of territorial claims, the definition of boundaries, and the internationalization of Jerusalem. But U.S. interests in the Middle East, notably the protection of American oil interests, led U.S. officials to rethink Israel's military potential as a strategic ally. Washington then deferred to Israel with respect to the repatriation of Palestinian refugees, the question of boundaries, and the fate of Jerusalem-issues that U.S. officials have come to realize are central to the 1948 conflict and its aftermath.

South Africa is a multi-racial, majority black southern African country of nearly 52 million. It held its first universal suffrage elections in 1994, after a transition from white minority rule under apartheid, a system of state-enforced racial segregation and socioeconomic discrimination. South Africa is influential regionally, due to its political engagement and trade and investment across Africa and its active role within the African Union. It is viewed as a U.S. strategic partner in Africa, despite periodic differences over some foreign policy issues. In late June 2013, President Obama tra
