<span class="paragraphSection">Today concepts such as political consumerism and consumer citizenship have been developed in order to identify and display the significance of consumption both as an activity and as a site of political action.1<sup>1</sup> As substantiated, for example, in Lizabeth Cohen’s work on the emergence of the Consumers' Republic in the United States, this approach represents an epochal claim about the changing relationship between state, society, and consumption after World War II. According to Cohen, in the second half of the twentieth century a unique alliance was formed in the United States between policy makers, business, and labour leaders, along with many ordinary Americans, all adopting a strategy for reconstructing the nation's economy and reaffirming its democratic values by promoting the expansion of mass consumption.2<sup>2</sup> Victoria de Grazia develops a similar argument for post-war Europe. In her study <span style="font-style:italic;">Irresistible Empire: America’s Advance through Twentieth Century Europe</span>, she suggests that the struggle between American free market ideology and the planned economy of the Soviet Union gave way to a new European regime of mass consumption that was mainly conceived as a political matter involving rights and democracy.3<sup>3</sup> Thus the so-called Consumers’ Republic epitomizes a state in which national interest not only became bound up with mass consumption, but the very notion of citizenship was interlaced with consumership. As Cohen cogently observes, the postwar era witnessed the triumph of the “ideal of the customer as citizen who simultaneously fulfilled personal desire and civic obligation by consuming.”4<sup>4</sup> Yet the history of what Cohen, de Grazia, and others identify with the concept of consumer citizenship is based on a century-long trend of entwining these notions and making them central to the guiding principle of a market-oriented society in which the members of modern states are expected to realize personal desire and civic obligation by, amongst other things, consuming.</span>

<span class="paragraphSection">This section of the Year Book emerged out of an international conference that took place in Jerusalem in March 2013, on the occasion of the 200th (or rather the 201st) anniversary of the Prussian Emancipation Edict of 1812. The so-called <span style="font-style:italic;">Judenedikt</span> comprised a milestone in the long and thorny path of Jews to full legal equality in Germany. To be sure, in contrast to the French Revolution, the Edict did not represent a radical change in the legal status of Jews. Prussian Jews were not granted a full or equal civil status, and many of the rights that were granted were ultimately revoked soon after the Vienna Congress of 1815. Nevertheless, beyond its immediate effect on Jews living in German lands, the Edict generated vigorous debates over the fundamental principles of citizenship, the concept of civil society, and the status of minorities within society and the state, all of which were also discussed in the 200th anniversary conference that was organized by the Leo Baeck Institute Jerusalem, in cooperation with a academic partners in Israel and abroad: the Hebrew University, Tel Aviv University, the Israeli branch of the Adenauer Foundation, the Centre for German-Jewish Studies at the University of Sussex, and the <span style="font-style:italic;">Institut für die Geschichte der deutschen Juden in Hamburg</span>.1<sup>1</sup></span>
