The Modern History Seminar

The Seminar of Modern History was created during the transformation of former historical departments into institutes and seminars in the early 1990s and was originally called the Seminar of the History of International Relations and World Politics. The current name was acquired only after a new, chronological division of the whole institute. The seminar focuses on the period of the 16th century up until the 19th century, while geographically its members focus on the history of Europe, North America and the colonies of European states. In recent years, its staff has published several books and studies dealing with the history of international relations between the 18th and 20th centuries, the development of nobility and elites, Austro-Hungarian diplomacy and colonial history. They are also members of the Humanities Research Centres, specifically the Centre for the Study of Mankind and Society, the Research Group for Central European Elites in a Changing Society (16th-20th Century) and they participate in grant projects.
