Item Focus point: History - The politics of energy in Africa : Energy partnership with Africa burdens of history and current perspectives(2008) Speitkamp, Winfried; Stange, DanielHe who wants to shape the future must understand the past. Nowhere this is as much the case as in the relationship between Europe and Africa. An energy partnership with Africa means that on the one hand the specifichistory that connects Africa with Europe must be recognized, and the burdens of the shared history must be given consideration. On the other hand the interests of the African states must be identified, for example, which energy policy is being pursued and which energy conflicts are being carried out.Item History - Towers of Modernism : The Tendency Towards Technological Mega-projects in the 20th Century(2008) Laak, Dirk vanIn recent history, there has never been a lack of good, impressive, and convincing ideas presented to solve the complex problems of mankind. In many cases the reality has been less successful. Even when, especiallywhen, the plan was ambitious and technical. Often massive projects had massive consequences that hadn t been considered before. Therefore, it might be advisable to take a historically informed look back at the intellectual environment in which these technologically large-scale projects were conceived. Unquestionably attractive plans, like the Solar Energy Partnership with Africa , may benefit from looking at examples from the past in order to avoid making the same mistakes in their future realisation.
