Summary

Diese innovative politikwissenschaftliche Studie ist die erste gründliche empirische Untersuchung des deutsch-israelischen Jugendaustauschs. Neben einer Archiv- und Zeitungsrecherche (Zeitfenster 1965-67, 1972/73, 1990/91, 2000), umfasst der Datensatz 130 qualitative Interviews mit sechs verschiedenen Interessengruppen in Deutschland und Israel. Die Untersuchung konzentriert sich auf die Schüleraustauschprogramme zwischen den Partnerstädten Köln-Tel Aviv und Bremen-Haifa.

Innerhalb des Fachbereichs der auswärtigen Kulturpolitik verfolgt die Arbeit die Zielsetzung, die Verflechtung der besonderen Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und Israel und dem Jugendaustausch zu analysieren. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Verflechtung zwischen der politischen Makroebene und der Jugendaustausch Mikroebene aufgrund des allmählichen Normalisierungsprozesses zwischen den beiden Staaten mit der Zeit abgenommen hat.

Das Buch zeigt nicht nur neue empirische Forschungsfelder für Wissenschaftler auf, die am internationalen Jugendaustausch interessiert sind, sondern ist auch äußerst relevant für Praktiker, die im deutsch-israelischen Jugendaustausch tätig sind.
