This article offers a theoretical overview of transnational history in relation to the history of ideas, a field that certain specialists of transnational history have singled out as a promising field of future transnational research. Recent historiographical discussions within Enlightenment studies are offered to throw light about the actual novelty that a transnational perspective would offer for the history of ideas. Rather than being an entirely new outlook, transnational types of analysis can be understood as lying at the heart of classical, universalistic Enlightened scholarship, a perspective that was challenged according to the fundamental problem of context.
Soldatenbriefe

This article develops a comprehensive critique of historical research focussing on the mutual relations between social power and violence. According to the methodological initial hypothesis, due to the inadequate distinction between indigenious concept (from sources) and heuristic (from reseach) in the historical sciences, there have been very few valuable insights into these relations to date. In order to expand the research focus which is the objective of this article, the analysis draws on the two actor-centric reference systems of "certainty" and "order". The key idea behind this, operationalizing certainty/uncertainty by means of order/disorder, is a promising way of programmatically combining a vertical and horizontal network of relationships of power, violence, certainty, and order.
Otto Braun
(2014)
Otto Braun war von 1921 bis 1932 mit kurzen Unterbrechungen Ministerpräsident des Freistaates Preußen. Er war sowohl überzeugter sozialer Demokrat als auch Preuße und betrieb eine entschlossene Reformpolitik, die zwar umstritten war, sich aber stets im Rahmen der Legalität bewegte. Die Grenzen dieses Ansatzes wurden am Ende der Weimarer Republik deutlich, als seine Regierung mit dem sogenannten »Preußenschlag« vom 20. Juli 1932 entmachtet wurde und Braun in Verkennung der neuen machtpolitischen Realitäten vergeblich versuchte, mit legalen Maßnahmen dem illegalen Vorgehen der Reichsregierung entgegenzutreten.
