WiSe 21/22: Modernization in European and post-communist perspective

Mihai Varga

Comments

n this class, we cover a diverse range of topics in the development of modern states, from the role of wars and mass conscription to land reform, urbanization and capitalism in the creation of nation-states in Europe. We devote particular attention to contemporary theories about the diverging development of Eastern European states in comparison to states in Europe’s other parts; to how these theories mix with ideas of state retrenchment and anti-corruption under the neo-liberal paradigm. In its final sessions, the seminar sets out to explain the present-day return to a “strong-state”-paradigm in much of Eastern Europe, with ideas of “hard government” and “national sovereignty” (Hungary, Poland), “power vertical” and “managed democracy” (Russia) there to shape public debates and state development for the years to come. close
