Due to rapid changes and unexpected developments, academic studies of international politics are becoming increasingly complex. In order to examine constantly shifting objects of study, research on international politics must continually revise the theoretical and empirical frameworks and methodology employed. Moreover, both academic research in general and international politics studies in particular should go beyond mere analysis and offer normative guidance to policy makers. The challenges of such a multilevel field of research can only be met by an interdisciplinary approach, in which important insights from both political science and philosophy are applied to studies of topics ranging from armed conflicts, political and religious extremism, migration, identity issues, contested economic structures and regulations, and international law-making to humanitarian intervention and climate change. This book series consists of anthologies of works by philosophers and political scientists and experts from related subjects as well as monographs written by authors with the respective disciplines as a background. All texts submitted for publication in this series undergo a rigorous process of double-blind peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two referees. The editorial process is overseen by the editors and supported by two editorial assistants.

The aim of the series is to illuminate and interpret lines of development in political thought from antiquity to modernity from a systematic and historical perspective. In a systematic comparison of influential thinkers from antiquity, modern times and modernity, traditional categories of interpretation of political thought in Europe are to be researched and reflected upon. The guiding pairs of opposites are, on the one hand, the interplay of tension between principle-oriented normativity and, on the other, the centre of gravity of power, state and social order. The series sees itself as a platform for works that deal with the ethical, social, ecological and economic challenges of the 21st century from a philosophical, historical and political-theoretical/normative perspective.

This series addresses the relationship between culture and society throughout the course of history. It deals with the significance of culture for the implementation of and changes to social orders. Dissertations, postdoctoral theses, anthologies, monographs and Festschriften are published in the series. It not only welcomes contributions from the fields of culture and history, but also those from related disciplines, all of which can be written in either German or English.

This series provides an international platform for the study of the entire range of topics relating to sexual health: sexual and gender diversity, sexually transmitted diseases, reproductive health, sexual rights and sexualized violence. Incorporating both an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach, and focusing on the field in which public health, health promotion and prevention, social work, sociology and law overlap, the series publishes empirical and theoretical studies which foster a better understanding of (sexual) health and the social participation of people with different gender identities, sexualities and sexual behaviour.

This series of publications is dedicated to the processes of change and challenges arising from the digitisation of the economy and society. It focuses primarily on the question of how the fundamental rights to privacy and informational self-determination can be guaranteed and provides a forum for interdisciplinary academic exchange. It presents theoretical, empirical, basic and application-oriented work and contributes to the foundation and objectification of the public discourse on these topics. In particular, results from the ‘Forum Privatheit’, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, appear in the series.

Resocialisation, victim protection and atonement as well as aspects of a sustainable and victim-centred approach to criminal proceedings embedded in the concept of restorative justice need developing continuously and adapting to new findings from related fields. At the same time, it must be emphasised that any research findings resulting from this can only be partially integrated into practical investigative procedures, criminal proceedings, the implementation of criminal sentencing and committed discharge management. On the one hand, this series of publications is aimed at experts and managers from all German-speaking countries working in the fields of criminal, justice and social policy, professional associations, the media and civil society. On the other, its publications will also be relevant to researchers and lecturers from the fields of law and the social sciences, particularly criminal law, criminology, social work and social pedagogy. We welcome submissions of monographs from various disciplines, dissertations, habilitation theses, edited anthologies and conference proceedings for publication in the series.
