• Book Launch "Stadtrevier. Polizei und Sicherheit im urbanen Raum", Sabine Mecking and Martin Göllnitz In contrast to the old European tradition of the city as a place of peace, where the "city air" made people free or at least guaranteed freedom from violence, large cities have been regarded as spaces of insecurity not only since the 20th century. However, the often exaggerated image of the "city as Moloch" is extremely blurred. As early as the 18th century, there were police reforms in many European cities that were linked to a security policy discourse on urban space. The articles in this special issue show that the question of whether and how situations are defined as relevant to security as well as the use of specific security repertoires are inextricably linked to the authority and power of the police.

• Book Launch "Befreiungskrieg - Nationsbildung und Gewalt in der Ukraine", Anna Veronika Wendland The Russian war of aggression on Ukraine of 24 February 2022 caused many to perceive Ukraine as a protagonist in European history for the first time. In this book, Anna Veronika Wendland unfolds the entire panorama of Ukrainian history, from the beginnings in medieval Kyiv to the early modern attempts at state-building and the catastrophic experiences of the 20th and 21st centuries. Wars and violence shaped the repeatedly interrupted nation-building of Ukraine just as much as the peaceful phases of coming to terms with neighbours or even profiting from the supremacy of the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union. In this interplay, the Ukrainians developed their specific constitutional traditions and ideas of freedom - and thus evolved from a peasant nation under foreign masters into a modern, pluralistic industrialised nation.
