Leaning on the strengths of the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences (MIA CAS), the series focuses on the period of the 19th and 20th centuries. The books in the series will explore the multifaceted history of Central and Eastern Europe, a region often characterised by both confrontation and conflict. This multinational space offers a unique opportunity to examine the impact of both revolutionary and gradual transformative processes on its inhabitants at various levels.
The thematic focus of the series reflects the Institute's research priorities. The series will examine issues of identity and loyalty and their memory, the changing meanings of centre and periphery and borders, and the interconnectedness of violence, protest, and humanitarianism in the Habsburg and post-Habsburg space. This geographical focus provides a wide scope for comparison at the level of monarchy, individual countries, and successor states. In addition, it will raise questions about state functionality and the construction of unity. The series is intended for scholars engaged in research on subjects pertaining to the politics of memory, legitimacy, state functionality, political culture, cultural history, social history and the history of migration.
