Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this course we will discuss economic and political integration achieved through the creation of empires and modern states. Methodologically, we will examine contributions offering new perspectives on this subject and questioning established narratives. Chronologically, our time horizon spans the last two millennia. The geographic focus is on the Mediterranean, continental Europe, the Americas and the British world (both as a kingdom and a former global empire). Albeit mostly based on secondary literature, the course also includes the analysis of a few primary sources.
