Boom – Crisis – Heritage, diese drei Begriffe skizzieren die Geschichte des globalen Kohlenbergbaus nach 1945 treffend. Dieser gehen die im Band versammelten Aufsätze mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunktsetzungen und Fragestellungen nach. Dieser breite Zugang spiegelt sich auch im Themenspektrum wider. In einem ersten Abschnitt finden sich politik-, sozial- und wirtschaftshistorische Beiträge. In ihnen werden das Europäische Energiesystem in der globalisierten Welt des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts ebenso angesprochen wie spezifische Sozialpolitiken in Bergbaurevieren. Der zweite Abschnitt stellt dann die Medialisierung des Bergbaus und dessen Hinterlassenschaften in den Fokus, wobei auch der Umweltgeschichte des Bergbaus Beachtung geschenkt wird. Der Sammelband, der auf eine gleichnamige Konferenz am Deutschen Bergbau-Museum Bochum zurückgeht, bietet somit einen facettenhaften Einblick in das Forschungsfeld der modernen Bergbaugeschichte. Boom – Crisis – Heritage, these terms aptly outline the history of global coal mining after 1945. The essays collected in this volume explore this history with different emphases and questions. The range of topics also reflects this broad approach. The first section contains contributions on political, social and economic history. They address the European energy system in the globalised world of the 20th and 21st centuries as well as specific social policies in mining regions. The second section then focuses on the medialisation of mining and its legacies, also paying attention to the environmental history of mining. The anthology, which goes back to a conference of the same name at the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum, thus offers a multi-faceted insight into the research field of modern mining history.
