Nationalsozialismus transnational : Rechts- und Ideologietransfer insbesondere zwischen dem „Dritten Reich“ und Ungarn

Abstract

The transnational dimension of National Socialism has so far received little attention in legal history research. This volume is the first to examine transfer processes and interde-pendencies on a larger scale, especially between jurists in Nazi Germany and Hungary, but also beyond (in relation to Austria, Slovakia and Japan). The thematic scope of the sixteen articles is broad: For example, the expansion of academic cooperations and transnational cultural networks, the arrangement of bilateral legal relations, the deprivation of rights of the Jewish population outside Germany, external perspectives on Nazi law and German efforts to harmonise the law in the European ‘Großraum’ are examined. Moreover, also the adopted perspectives are transnational, as individual topics (for example, the transfer of Nazi law or the influence of the ‘Third Reich’ on German minorities abroad with the help of Nazi ‘Volksgruppenrecht‘) are examined from both a German and a Hungarian perspective. Finally, the volume provides a variety of suggestions for further research in the field of a transnational legal history of National Socialism.
