Now Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg can call himself a doctor again: nine years after the plagiarism affair that led him to Dr.
cost - and his office as Federal Defense Minister.
The University of Southampton awarded the 49-year-old a doctorate for his dissertation entitled "Agents, Bills, and Correspondents through the Ages: An Analytical Reconsideration of the Nature, Scope, and Significance of Correspondent Banking and its Application in Historical Precedence and Selected Case Studies ".
The economic history work deals with the history of correspondent banks.
Nobody has discovered plagiarism this time.
And Guttenberg's doctoral supervisor, the economist Richard Werner, revels in praise.
"It is a really well-researched scientific work," said the Bavarian Werner of ZEIT, "which makes a remarkable number of new contributions."
After reading zu Guttenberg's work, Markus A. Denzel has his doubts about this.
Denzel is familiar with the bulky matter.
He has been Professor of Social and Economic History at the University of Leipzig for 18 years.
The history of international payments is one of his main research areas.
Zu Guttenberg quoted Denzel's works several times in his work.
