Ausgehend von einer kurzen Zusammenfassung der historischen Forschung zum Phänomen «Transnationalismus» liefert dieser Artikel Anknüpfungspunkte, um die sich abschwächende Euphorie über transnationale Forschung verständlich zu machen. Der Artikel stellt heraus, in welch starkem Maße Phänomene, die heute unter dem Begriff Transnationalismus firmieren, bereits Bestandteil älterer Forschungstraditionen waren. Darüber hinaus werden, aufbauend auf Erfahrungen bei der Erarbeitung des 2009 erscheinenden Palgrave Dictionary of Transnational History Probleme und Möglichkeiten transnationaler Geschichtsschreibung be - leuchtet und noch offene Fragen identifiziert. Hierzu gehört das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen dem Bedürfnis, sich von einer staatszentrierten Herangehensweise zu lösen, und der Notwendigkeit, eine Geschichte mit und nicht gegen oder gar ohne Nationen zu schreiben. Zudem, argumentiert der Artikel, darf die Geschichte globaler Netzwerke des «Bösen» nicht ausgeklammert werden.

26:T43d,Technological Innovation and Transnational Networks: Europe between the Wars

The article sketches the historiography on the transfer of knowledge with a focus on the Interwar period. It stresses the need to analyse the cultural element of the exchange of knowledge beyond a history of innovation and transfer in the narrower sense. Three interrelated developments, which in part determine each other, are treated with particular attention. First, the general growth of international exchange and its altered forms through advances in institutionalisation. Second this process was directly interlinked with the emergence of new channels and fora of communication. Third, one can observe a multilayered ‹politicisation› of expertise, which was closely linked with the First World War and in particular with the rise of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes in the 1920s and 1930s. The articles assembled in this issue are particularly qualified to analyse these problems as each of them covers at least two countries and all of them are transnational in scope.

27:T52b,Researcher in Motion: The Materials Scientist Jan Czochralski between the Wars

The text focuses on the materials scientist Jan Czochralski (1885–1953). While working in the metal-laboratories of AEG in Berlin and the Metallgesellschaft in Frankfurt/Main during the years 1908–1928, Czochralski was the author of some major inventions before he transferred his expertise to Warsaw where he held several positions in research institutions and became a professor at the Technic
