Paperback. Condition: New. Since the Enlightenment, liberalism as a concept has been foundational for European identity and politics, even as it has been increasingly interrogated and contested. This comprehensive study takes a fresh look at the diverse understandings and interpretations of the idea of liberalism in Europe, encompassing not just the familiar movements, doctrines, and political parties that fall under the heading of "liberal" but also the intertwined historical currents of thought behind them. Here we find not an abstract, universalized liberalism, but a complex and overlapping configuration of liberalisms tied to diverse linguistic, temporal, and political contexts.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Anmerkungen / bekritzelt / Stempel; Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Im 20. Jahrhundert, dem Zeitalter ideologischer Extreme, stand der Liberalismus mehrfach vor der Herausforderung, seine Grundprinzipien an veranderte politische, gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen anzupassen. Der Kampf um die Geltung liberaler Prinzipien bewegte sich vielfach in einer paradox anmutenden Parallelitat zum Bedeutungs- und Funktionsverlust des organisierten Liberalismus in Parteien und Parlamenten. Doch wie reagierten die Liberalen in den Gesellschaften Europas und Nordamerikas auf die ideologischen, okonomischen und sozialen Krisenmomente des Jahrhunderts? Die verschiedenen nationalen Variationen verbieten es, ungepruft von ,dem Liberalismus" zu sprechen. Vielmehr gilt es, die landerubergreifenden Gemeinsamkeiten liberaler Konzepte und Bewegungen herauszuarbeiten, bevor die Eigenheiten des liberalen Weltbilds beschrieben werden konnen. Die Beitrage internationaler Forscher in diesem Band diskutieren das Problem aus der einzelstaatlichen und transnationalen Perspektive. Sie bestimmen den historischen Ort des Liberalismus im wechselvollen 20. Jahrhundert genauer, indem Kongruenzen und Divergenzen einer pragenden Leitidee der Moderne aufgedeckt werden.…
