Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The course reconstructs the history of Southeastern Europe as an essential component of the changing visions and forms of international order as developed from the late 19^th to the late 20^th century. The course’s working assumption is that the dynamic interaction between Southeastern Europe and the various agents of international order – from the so-called ‘Great Powers’ of the 19^th and early 20^th century to the Cold War ‘Superpowers’ and international organizations – is a decisive element in understanding a series of developments and crises, such as the transformation and collapse of Empires in the wider region, state-building processes, war conflicts and regime changes, that marked the transition from the ‘long’ 19^th to the ‘short’ 20^th century and shaped the latter. The course does not provide a comprehensive overview of national histories of each country; it addresses key issues and developments that shaped state formation in the area. With the Congress of Berlin (1878) as its starting point and the breakup of Yugoslavia as its concluding chapter, the course offers a synthetic overview of political, diplomatic, and social history of the states of Southeastern Europe. Finally, the course emphasizes the international and transnational currents in the historical evolution of the region.
