As possible answer to the following message of Tobias Schroeder to this list

let me mention the book
Galois theories
Francis Borceux & George Janelidze
Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics, volume 72
Cambridge University Press (2001), 341 pages
ISBN 0 521 80309 8
which will be available from February 20.
This is probably not an as "short" introduction as Tobias wants ...
and I let you decide if it is a "good" one.
References at the end of the book, in particular to various papers of
George Janelidze on a categorical approach of Galois theory, will provide
alternative answers to Tobias'question.
Here is the table of contents of the book.
1. Classical Galois theory
2. Galois theory of Grothendieck
3. Infinitary Galois theory
4. Categorical Galois theory of commutative rings
5. Categorical Galois theorem and factorization systems
6. Covering maps
7. Non-galoisian Galois theory
