Inauguration of the Balzan-FRIAS Programme
Mini-Symposium:Global history and social history - a contradiction?
On the occasion of the publication of The Global Bourgeoisie: The Rise of the Middle Classes in the Age of Empire (Princeton University Press), the editors - Christof Dejung, David Motadel, and Jürgen Osterhammel, discuss about the challenges and chances of social history in view of a "global turn" in international history.
At the same time, the mini-symposium celebrates the opening of the Balzan-FRIAS Project in Global History, which is funded by the International Balzan Prize Foundation and will be located at FRIAS for a period of three years.
