Indhold

Main Trends in Modern European History

This course traces some major trends in European history with a special emphasis on state formation, state forms and state relations since the 18th Century. Central to the course is a focus on the creation and development of the modern European nation state. Linked to and embedded in this process is a series of major political trends and features: The fight between democracy and authoritarian and/or totalitarian rule; inter-state conflict as most manifestly expressed by the two (European) world wars, the establishment of the modern welfare states, and most recently the global and regional (EU) challenges to the European nation states. Each of these features will be drawn into and discussed during the course with a view to inserting them into an overall understanding and discussion of the above-mentioned major trends in modern European history.
