A History of Modern Political Thought in East Central Europe is a
two-volume project, authored by an international team of
researchers, and offering the first-ever synthetic overview of the
history of modern political thought in East Central Europe.
Covering twenty national cultures and languages, the ensuing work
goes beyond the conventional nation-centered narrative and offers a
novel vision especially sensitive to the cross-cultural
entanglement of discourses. Devising a regional perspective, the
authors avoid projecting the Western European analytical and
conceptual schemes on the whole continent, and develop instead new
concepts, patterns of periodization and interpretative models. At
the same time, they also reject the self-enclosing Eastern or
Central European regionalist narratives and instead emphasize the
multifarious dialogue of the region with the rest of the world.
Along these lines, the two volumes are intended to make these
cultures available for the global 'market of ideas' and also help
rethinking some of the basic assumptions about the history of
modern political thought, and modernity as such. The first volume
deals with the period ranging from the Late Enlightenment to the
First World War. It is structured along four broader chronological
and thematic units: Enlightenment reformism, Romanticism and the
national revivals, late nineteenth-century institutionalization of
the national and state-building projects, and the new ideologies of
the fin-de-siecle facing the rise of mass politics. Along these
lines, the authors trace the continuities and ruptures of political
discourses. They focus especially on the ways East Central European
political thinkers sought to bridge the gap between the idealized
Western type of modernity and their own societies challenged by
overlapping national projects, social and cultural fragmentation,
and the lack of institutional continuity.
