Philosophy of Emil Fackenheim
Fackenheim was one of the most philosophically serious, knowledgeable, and provocative contemporary Jewish thinkers. His original focus as a philosophical theologian was mainly on revelation, but in his later work he concerned himself primarily with the wide-ranging implications of the Holocaust. In this book, Kenneth Hart Green examines Fackenheim's intellectual trajectory and traces how and why he focused so intently on the Holocaust. He explores the deeper thought that Fackenheim developed about the Holocaust, which he construed as a cataclysmic event that ruptured history and one that also brought about a change in the very structure of being. As Green demonstrates, the Holocaust, according to Fackenheim's interpretation, changes how we view all things, from God to man to history. It also radically affects Judaism, Christianity, and philosophy, the major traditions that have shaped the Western world.

Fraktionsgeschlossenheit und Regierungssysteme
In diesem Buch wird das Ausmaß der Fraktionsgeschlossenheit in freiheitlichen Parlamenten untersucht. Der Autor fasst eine große Bandbreite diskutierter Einflussfaktoren in einem Untersuchungsmodell zusammen, u.a. die Ausgestaltung der Regierungssysteme, Kandidatenselektionsstrukturen, Parteieninstitutionalisierung und die innerfraktionelle Arbeitsteilung. Im empirischen Teil werden die tatsächlichen Ursachen von Fraktionsgeschlossenheit in präsidentiellen und parlamentarischen Regierungssystemen herausgearbeitet. Anschließend legt der Autor an die zu Tage tretenden Kausalmechanismen gut eingeführte und in vielen Gesellschaften weithin geteilte Wertmaßstäbe (der Demokratie- und der Repräsentationstheorie) an. Es wird ersichtlich, dass parlamentarische Regierungssysteme ihren präsidentiellen Seitenstücken in vielerlei Hinsicht vorzuziehen sind.

Eisenhower Presidency
We are in the midst of a Dwight Eisenhower revival. Today pundits often look to Eisenhower as a model of how a president can govern across party lines and protect American interests globally without resorting too quickly to the use of force. Yet this mix of nostalgia and frustration with the current polarized state of American politics may mislead us. Eisenhower’s presidency has much to teach us today about how a president might avert crises and showdowns at home or abroad. But he governed under conditions so strikingly different from those a chief executive faces in the early 21st century that we need to question how much of his style could work in our own era. The chapters in this volume address the lessons we might draw from the Eisenhower experience for presidential leadership today. Although most of the authors find much to admire in the Eisenhower record, they express varying opinions on how applicable his approach would be for our own time. On one side, they appreciate his limited faith in the power of his words to move public opinion and his reluctance to turn to the use of force to solve international problems. On the other side, it was plain that Ike’s exercise of “hidden-hand” leadership (in Fred Greenstein’s evocative term) would not be possible in the modern media environment that makes Washington a giant fishbowl and instant revelation an acceptable norm. Both Eisenhower admirers and skeptics (and many of the authors are both) will find much in these essays to reinforce their preconceptions – and much that is unsettling. Eisenhower emerges as an effective but flawed leader. He was in many ways the right man for his time, but limited because he was also a man of his time.
