Vergleichen unter den Bedingungen von Konflikt und Konkurrenz
Albert M, Engelschalt J, Epple A, et al. Vergleichen unter den Bedingungen von Konflikt und Konkurrenz. Praktiken des Vergleichens. Working Paper des SFB 1288. Vol 1. Bielefeld: UniversitĂ€t Bielefeld, SFB 1288; 2019.Was ist das Spezifische an Vergleichen bzw. Vergleichspraktiken, die unter den Bedingungen von Konflikt und/oder Konkurrenz durchgefĂŒhrt werden? Im vorliegenden Working Paper wird dieses Spezifische anhand von soziologisch inspirierten Ăberlegungen zu den Grundbegrifflichkeiten des Konflikts bzw. der Konkurrenz als einer besonderen Art der Formung sozialer Beziehungen herausgearbeitet. ZunĂ€chst werden die Begriffe von Konkurrenz und direkten gewalttĂ€tigen Konflikten vor dem Hintergrund unterschiedlicher disziplinĂ€rer Forschungskontexte bestimmt. Ausgehend von einer Soziologie der Konkurrenz geht es dabei um sozial- und geschichtswissenschaftliche Diskussionen um gewalttĂ€tige Konflikte. Zentral sind die begriffliche SchĂ€rfung unterschiedlicher kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen und das Gewalthandeln in Konfliktsituationen, die nicht als Krieg bezeichnet werden können. AnschlieĂend werden die vielschichtigen Wechselbeziehungen sowohl zwischen gewalttĂ€tigen Konflikten und Konkurrenz als auch zwischen Konflikten, Konkurrenzen und Vergleichspraktiken aus der Sicht der unterschiedlichen Forschungsprojekte des Projektbereichs A des SFB 1288 dargestellt.**ErgĂ€nzender Hinweis zu den Creative Commons Lizenzen**"Creative Commons license terms for re-use do not apply to any content (such as graphs, figures, photos, excerpts, etc.) not original to the Open Access publication and further permission may be required from the rights holder.

In the 1890s, the arms race between the Great Powers alarmed the military in Switzerland and sparked lively debates about the future orientation of the army. In this context, military events elsewhere seemed a valuable source of inspiration. Thus, when a brief war broke out between Greece and the Ottoman Empire in 1897, the Swiss general staff sent more official observers to the battlefield than any other army. This article investigates why Swiss officers were so invested in a military theater in distant Thessaly. By examining the linkages between the Swiss Confederation and the âOrientâ, the present article shows how military professionals contributed to Switzerlandâs global entanglement. It thereby extends recent research on Swiss global connections during the âlong 19th centuryâ,
which has thus far mostly concentrated on the foreign engagement of civilian actors. While Switzerlandâs neutrality and lack of international representation made it difficult to carry out the missions, transnational networks and interactions helped Swiss military attachĂ©s during their journeys. Through the analysis of the actorsâ comparisons, the final
part of the paper demonstrates how Swiss officers used their observations of foreign battlefields to give voice to their political views, both in national debates and in international military competitions
European medical experts in wars of âothersâ: the Greco-Turkish War of 1897
RohĂ© N. European medical experts in wars of âothersâ: the Greco-Turkish War of 1897. European Review of History: Revue europĂ©enne d'histoire. 2019;26(2):163-177.In current debates on humanitarianism and empire, historians of the nineteenth century have focused mostly on the engagement of British, French and German individuals in their own imperial wars. However, many medical experts from these empires crossed imperial boundaries and risked their lives on foreign battlegrounds. This article elaborates on the involvements of experts in the âwars of othersâ by focusing on the presence of humanitarian missions and surgeons from all over Europe in the short Greco-Turkish War of 1897. What prompted them to ignore criticism levelled against such involvement by their compatriots and the existing medical staff of both sides of the conflict? Tracing the global compassion that the locally confined hostilities between Greece and the Ottoman Empire inspired, the article first highlights the institutional mobilization of humanitarian associations in Britain, France and Germany. It then delves into individual reasons for taking action. Drawing on newspaper articles, institutional reports and individual medical publications, the article discusses how European experts used the wars of âothersâ to test and assess recent medical knowledge and new technologies. These expertsâ practices of comparing reveal that the physicians considered the Greco-Turkish War less as a conflict of foreign powers than as a laboratory for future wars of their own empires
