As a social and political phenomenon, antisemitism has been and continues to be structured in multiple dimensions and found in almost every social context. Therefore, esearch into the structures, contexts and dynamics of antisemitism cannot be restricted to any one specific discipline, theoretical construct, avenue of research, or methodology - just as antisemitism itself obeys no such restrictions. The "Interdisciplinary Studies on Antisemitism" series will address this plurality, presenting a broad spectrum of research from the social sciences, cultural studies and the humanities, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of antisemitism.

This interdisciplinary book series offers Europe-oriented topics, which focus on advancements and shifts in political, institutional and societal relations. The series is published under the aegis of the Willy Brandt Centre for German and European Studies at the Wroclaw University.

“Security” is a key concept today. Striving for security is regarded as the principal aim in almost all policy areas, and not only with regard to crises in international relations, internal or social security. Against this backdrop, the series of publications entitled Politiken der Sicherheit | Politics of Security examines how notions of security have developed throughout history, from the pre-modern era to the present day. It focuses particularly on addressing the question of how certain issues developed into security issues and what political effects this had and has.This German and English-speaking series is intended to promote research from the fields of social science, law and cultural studies that deals with dynamics of security, with the creation and portrayal of security in both theory and practice. As it focuses on research into historical security, this series is receptive to all critical research projects on this subject and any issues related to it (securitisation, human security etc.).Both members of the SFB/TRR 138 and interested researchers outside the SFB-TRR 138 are expressly encouraged to publish monographs, not least qualification papers, but also thematic issues and anthologies that fit the content profile of the series.
