70 Jahre Israel

Schon kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die These vertreten, die Shoah sei ein wichtiger, wenn nicht gar entscheidender Faktor für die Gründung des Staates Israel gewesen. Der Essay arbeitet heraus, dass der nationalsozialistische Judenmord sicherlich eine moralisch-legitimatorische Funktion gehabt hat, ein unmittelbarer kausaler Zusammenhang mit der Staatsgründung aber nicht nachzuweisen ist.
Forging an Italian hero?
(2019)
Over the last two decades, Amedeo Guillet (1909–2010) has been turned into a public and military hero. His exploits as a guerrilla leader in Italian East Africa in 1941 have been exaggerated to forge a narrative of an honourable resistance against overwhelming odds. Thereby, Guillet has been showcased as a romanticized colonial explorer who was an apolitical and timeless Italian officer. He has been compared to Lawrence of Arabia in order to raise his international visibility, while his genuine Italian brand is perpetuated domestically. By elevating him to an official role model, the Italian Army has gained a focal point for military heroism that was also acceptable in the public memory as the embodiment of a ‘glorious’ defeat narrative.
More than Walls

If Germany and Europe turned their attention to Latin America, they could extend the transatlantic partnership by adding new partners and focussing on new issues without breaking ties with Washington. However, the countries of the region have differing views of Europe. Mexico is a special case in Latin America because of its close ties with the US, and the economic, political, and strategic interests that it shares with Europe. There is a need for Europe and the US to work together more closely in order to counterbalance China’s growing influence.
