Was ist Debatte? – Ein internationaler Überblick provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory, history, and practice of debating. The book explores debate as a structured form of argumentation, a means of developing rhetorical skills, and an instrument for democratic participation and decision-making.

It examines the historical development of debating, its conceptual foundations, and its educational benefits, including critical thinking, persuasive communication, teamwork, and public speaking. A central focus is the comparison of eleven German and international competitive debating formats used in schools and universities, including British Parliamentary Debate, World Schools Debate, and Oxford Debate.

Through explanations of debating rules, structures, and traditions, the publication serves as a reference for students, educators, debating clubs, and researchers interested in rhetoric, communication, and debate education.
