Fokussiert auf die postosmanischen Metropolen Thessaloniki, Istanbul und Izmir fragt der Band auf der Basis von bisher weitgehend unveröffentlichtem Bildmaterial und Bilder evozierenden Medien nach dem Einfluß von diesen auf das kulturelle Gedächtnis und die Ausprägung von Erinnerungskulturen im Südosteuropa des 20./21. Jahrhunderts. Die Beiträge hinterfragen etablierte, von nationaler Exklusion bestimmte Wahrnehmungsmuster zugunsten pluralistisch-integrativer Konzepte, die nicht nur die Vergangenheit dieses Raumes geprägt haben, sondern auch seine Gegenwart und Zukunft beeinflussen. Dies schlägt sich nieder in der Stadtplanung, in der Denkmalpolitik wie überhaupt in der Inszenierung des kulturellen Gedächtnisses.
Despite regionalism having developed into a global phenomenon, the European Union (EU) is still more often than not presented as the ’role-model of regionalism’ whose institutional designs and norms are adopted by other regional actors and organizations as part of a rather passive ’downloading process’. Reaching beyond such a Eurocentric perception, Mapping Agency provides an empirically rich ’African perspective’ on regionalisms in Sub-Saharan Africa. It adopts an actor-centred approach but departs from a rather simplified understanding of agency as exerting power and instead scrutinizes to what extent actors actually participate in or are excluded from processes of regionalism. The value of this volume derives from the inclusion of historical dimensions, its open multi-actor approach to both formal and informal processes and its comparative perspective within but also beyond Sub-Saharan Africa. The chapters offer a multifaceted picture of agency beyond disciplinary divides where the EU is one actor amongst many and where local, national, regional and global state and non-state actors shape - and sometimes break - processes of regionalisms in Sub-Saharan Africa.
This book explains how transnational policy entrepreneurs have contributed to the transfer of the contested concept of ‘Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development’ (PCSD) in global policy. Tracing the processes by which the PCSD concept has been diffused in an international epistemic community linked to the EU and the OECD, the book offers new insights on international public administrations’ influence on global decision-making. It highlights the dynamic and multi-directional character of knowledge circulation in policy transfer. Drawing on case studies from France, the United Kingdom and Germany, the book contributes to current debates on sustainable development, revealing the role of actors and the logics behind ‘policy coherence’. Thus, it allows to understand the challenges involved in implementing SDG 17. Given its scope, the book will be of considerable interest to academic audiences and students of international relations and policy analysis, as well as practitioners and public officials whose work involves global sustainability policy.
