This Handbook examines relations between Japan and Korea from 1850 to the present.

This Handbook examines these relations in this age of modernity by dividing it into four periods: precolonial relations (1850–1905); colonial rule (1905–1945); post-war/post-liberation (1945–1965); ...

Among the Roman pontiffs who proclaimed crusades against the Turks, Pius II (1458-1464) stands out for having publicly declared his intention to go to war and backed it up with concrete actions. His death in Ancona, from where he was about to set sail for the East, can be perceived as a feat of faith ...

Статья посвящена исследованию маскарадов как социального и культурного феномена в эпоху правления Николая I. Автор рассматривает маскарады не только как развлекательные мероприятия, но и как сложные ритуалы, совмещающие властные сценарии, гендерные роли, социальные иерархии и индивидуальные характеры. Основное внимание уделяется трем типам маскарадов: придворным, аристократическим и публичным. Придворные маскарады (новогодние и июльские) служили инструментом демонстрации ...

Книга посвящена взаимоотношениям власти и журналистики 1830–1855 гг. – времени правления Николая I и одновременно периода журналистской деятельности Андрея Александровича Краевского. Это годы профессионализации журналистики и литературы, попыток общественного мнения выразить себя в печати посредством завуалированных общественно-политических высказываний в условиях жесточайшей цензуры. Один из фокусов исследования в книге – профессиональная биография Краевского, талантливого редактора и предпринимателя, ...

В центре внимания этой книги развитие папской власти в период с середины VIII до конца XII в. — в эпоху, когда римская церковь из локального религиозного центра, пусть и засвидетельствовавшего свое апостольское происхождение, постепенно превращалась в одну из главных политических сил европейского континента. Автор показывает, как выстраивались отношения преемников ап. Петра с франкскими правителями, византийскими ...

For a long time, CMEA was perceived through comparison with EEC. However, new modern researches revise the “passiveness” of the Comecon. They show how in this organization some ideas of European integration were canceled and rethought. Coordination of national economic plans was suggested as an alternative that could help to avoid supranational regulation in CMEA. It ...
