Compared to modern standard, the Roman army of the imperial era was surprisingly small. However, when assessed in terms of their various tasks, they by far outstrip modern armies - acting not only as an armed power of the state in external and internal conflicts, but also carrying out functions which nowadays are performed by police, local government, customs and tax authorities, as well as constructing roads, ships, and buildings. With this opulent volume, Thomas Fischer presents a comprehensive and unique exploration of the Roman military of the imperial era. With over 600 illustrations, the costumes, weapons and equipment of the Roman army are explored in detail using archaeological finds dating from the late Republic to Late Antiquity, and from all over the Roman Empire. The buildings and fortifications associated with the Roman army are also discussed. By comparing conflicts, border security, weaponry and artefacts, the development of the army through time is traced. This work is intended for experts as well as to readers with a general interest in Roman history. It is also a treasure-trove for re-enactment groups, as it puts many common perceptions of the weaponry, equipment and dress of the Roman army to the test.

Die Beziehungen europäischer Staaten wandeln sich im Zeichen von Europäisierung und Globalisierung. Österreich, die Schweiz, Liechtenstein und die Bundesrepublik leben „Tür an Tür“. Als unmittelbare Nachbarn nehmen sie sich gegenseitig kaum wahr. Die Beziehungen gelten als ausgezeichnet. Hinter dieser Kulisse verbergen sich allerdings auch Auffassungsunterschiede, Interessenkonflikte und Meinungsverschiedenheiten. Handel, Wirtschaft und Finanzen, Mikrodiplomatie im Bereich grenzüberschreitender Kooperation, Neutralitätsdiskurse, Friedens- und Sicherheitspolitik sowie europa- und integrationspolitische Strategien stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses Werks. Auf die Frage, wie weit das Umbruchjahr 1989 und die 1995 vergrößerte EU die wechselseitigen Beziehungen zwischen diesen Ländern verändert haben, gibt dieser Band Antworten. Deutlich wird dabei, dass diese Länder als natürliche Partner bei der Überwindung der Teilung Europas gelten können.

Politicians often talk about “strategy”. What do they mean by the term? Where does the development of political strategies take place? Who is involved in strategic processes? Which methods are used? Trying to answer these questions allows an interesting view behind the scenes of the political arena. Basis for the exploration of the topic are interviews with ministers, members of strategy units, party politicians, academics and journalists in Denmark, Germany, Great Britain and the USA. The analyses of the four research teams document a common understanding of strategy in the political realm of the four countries. They also show how much the meaning of strategy in the end depends on the political system and the political culture of a country.
