“(De)Europeanisation
and History: Concepts, Conflicts, Cohesion since 1890”
The Europeanisation History Network
aims at developing and elaborating a historical concept of (de)Europeanisation
as a heuristic and analytical tool reflecting the complexities, contradictions
and frictions of Europeanisation as a historical phenomenon. By focusing on developments
of transfer and exchange, emulation and delimitation, the concept of (de)Europeanisation
moves beyond national and comparative history. Building on existing notions of
Europeanisation, it will advance historians’ ability to analyze continuity
and change, convergence and delimitation in modern Europe.
The individual members
who form the network are all working on projects relevant for the project as
a whole. At the same time, they represent a broad range of methodological backgrounds
and approaches. In both its conceptual and its empirical elements, the network
concentrates on a “long twentieth century” since the 1890s.
