Transit
Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs, beschleunigte Globalisierung, Erweiterung der Union – all dies hat Europa tiefgreifend verändert. Seit 1990 setzt sich die am IWM herausgegebene Zeitschrift Transit: Europäische Revue mit den neuen Herausforderungen für den alten Kontinent auseinander. Transit will die Ungleichzeitigkeiten, die Unterschiede in den Erfahrungen, Sichtweisen und Werten produktiv machen, welche die lange Teilung Europas hervorgebracht hat. Es will ein Ort zur Selbstverständigung der Europäer nach der Wiederentdeckung ihrer gemeinsamen Geschichte und Zukunft sein. Transit erscheint zwei Mal jährlich.
