While the subject's theoretical and empirical dimensions have usually been studied separately, this interdisciplinary collection focuses on both to examine the pursuit of recognition against a transnational backdrop. With a special emphasis on the efforts of women's and Jewish organizations in 20th-century Europe, the studies collected here show how recognition can be meaningfully understood in historical-analytical terms, while demonstrating the extent to which transnationalization determines a movement's reach and effectiveness.  aEnglish  aSocial Movement  aWomen's Right  aPeace Movement  aHistoryvModernzJewish  aCold War  aGosewinkel, Dieter  aRucht, Dieter
