After fulfilling the position since 1987, Marcel van der Linden stepped down as executive editor of the International Review of Social History in July 2007. Over the past two decades the Review has developed into one of the leading journals in the field of international, and increasingly global, social history. For anyone who has kept track of the journal in this period, the contribution Marcel van der Linden has made to the journal's development will be clear. He remains involved with the Review in a different role. From February 2008 onward, he will be the permanent Chair of the journal's Editorial Committee, and as such will continue to be engaged in the development of the journal.

This book is monumental in every sense of the word. Before he had the opportunity to complete and publish his project, the final stages of which had occupied him for the past decade, Pierre Gloor suffered a stroke in 1994 that rendered him aphasic. In what was undoubtedly a magnificent act of tribute, an editorial committee of his colleagues prepared the vast manuscript for publication.

History Of Institutions

Until the very end of the twentieth century the history of learning difficulties was subsumed into other histories, of psychiatry, of special education and, indeed, of disability. Initiatives to enable people with learning difficulties and their families to record their own histories and contribute to the historical record are both recent and powerful. Much of this work has been led or supported by The Open University’s Social History of Learning Disability Research (SHLD) group and its commitment to developing “inclusive history.” The article tells the story of the Madhouse Project in which actors with learning difficulties, stimulated by the story of historian activist Mabel Cooper and supported by the SHLD group, learned about and then offered their own interpretations of that history, including its present-day resonances. Through a museum exhibition they curated, and through an immersive theatre performance, the actors used the history of institutions to alert a wider public to the abuses of the past, and the continuing marginalization and exclusion of people with learning difficulties. This is an outstanding example of history’s potential to stimulate activism.

Power is the most important variable in world politics, but scholars and policy analysts systematically mismeasure it. Most studies evaluate countries’ power using broad indicators of economic and military resources, such as gross domestic product and military spending, that tally their wealth and military assets without deducting the costs they pay to police, protect, and serve their people. As a result, standard indicators exaggerate the wealth and military power of poor, populous countries, such as China and India. A sounder approach accounts for these costs by measuring power in net rather than gross terms. This approach predicts war and dispute outcomes involving great powers over the past 200 years more accurately than those that use gross indicators of power. In addition, it improves the in-sample goodness-of-fit in the majority of studies published in leading journals over the past five years. Applying this improved framework to the current balance of power suggests that the United States’ economic and military lead over other countries is much larger than typically assumed, and that the trends are mostly in America's favor.

This article investigates the trend represented by the recent TV series This Is England 86 (2010), Deutschland 83 (2015) and 1992 (2015). It analyses retro in the series as enabling an exhilarating experience of the music, fashions and lifestyles of the past while claiming to offer a serious social history. The article thus takes issue with theories of retro that view it as ahistorical (for example Guffey), to demonstrate how retro in these series enables a particular dramatic conception of the dynamics of national history, whether in post-imperial decline (This Is England), a westalgie for the grip of geopolitical conflict (Deutschland 83) or the cyclical progression of trasformismo (1992). The article discusses the series’ common visions of the past as characterised by a pleasing youthful naivety, opposed to an implied present of cynical superior knowledge. I argue that these series embody retro’s distinct ability to combine irony and fetishism in its recreation of the past, as befits an age in which historical consciousness is increasingly referred to the intimate sphere of the individual self and its uncertain relation to posterity.

Resumen: Este artículo tiene por objeto analizar los principales debates y avances en uno de los campos más punteros y prolíficos de la historiografía a nivel internacional: los estudios de la guerra, también conocidos como nueva historia militar. Para ello propongo un recorrido a través de los cambios que se han producido dentro de éste ámbito durante las dos últimas décadas, así como también un examen crítico de los trabajos y tendencias historiográficas que más han contribuido a ello. En este sentido, planteo una puesta en valor de los estudios de la guerra y destaco su importancia para el conjunto de la historiografía por su capacidad para complejizar nuestro conocimiento y explicaciones del pasado; por el amplio y sugerente abanico de casos de estudio que pone a nuestra disposición; por sus tremendas posibilidades y potencial renovador a nivel metodológico e interpretativo; y, no menos importante, por su tremenda actualidad y sus conexiones con el presente.Palabras clave: estudios de la guerra, nueva historia militar, historia social, estudios de género, estudios culturales, guerra total.Abstract: This article is intended to analyze the major discussions and developments in one of the most prolific and a cutting-edge historiographic field on an international level: the war studies, also known as new military history. For this reason I propose a look through the changes which have taken place in this area over the last two decades, as well as a critical review of the works and historiographical paradigms that have contributed in that way. In this sense I defend the value of war studies and its importance for the whole historiography, taking into account specially its capacity to enable a more complex understanding and explanation of the past; the wide and suggestive range of subject matters that place at our disposal; its huge possibilities and renewing potential on a methodological and interpretative level; and last but not least its great influence and connections with the present.Keywords: war studies, new military history, social history, gender studies, cultural studies, total war.

Abstract The following issue arose from a section at the Congress for Economic and Social History in Regensburg in March 2019 and focuses on fiscal conflicts in Europe from the early modern period until today. Distributive fiscal conflicts are seen here as a probe into the past which can increase our understanding of historical social structures. Fiscal history is analysed as a central arena of the modern state. The introduction provides an overview of current research into fiscal history in Germany and of the contributions presented in this focus issue.
