Acknowledgements „Doing a PhD is like being married,‖ someone said to me just after I had made the decision to write this thesis. ―It‘s always in your mind, you generally love it, sometimes you curse it, you fight power struggles, you can‘t take your hands off it, you feel distant for some time and then grow closer again, you are passionate about it, you challenge each other, and you spend every spare minute together.‖ It took me four years to fully understand what this person meant. I am deeply thankful to all the ―marriage counsellors‖ – those who made this adventure possible in the first place, and those who made sure that divorce was never an option: My sincere thanks go to my supervisor Prof. Uwe Hasebrink for his invaluable advice, and his highly professional and human guidance, which always kept me motivated, as well as to Prof. Volker Lilienthal, Prof. Wolfgang Schulz, and Prof. Irene Neverla. To the Rudolf Augstein Foundation, ZEIT Foundation, and Fazit Foundation for acknowledging the importance of this topic and providing me financial support. To Prof. Lee Becker and Prof. Ann Hollifield for sharing their impressive knowledge with me and welcoming me like a family member d
