East European identities in the 19th and 20th century

During the 1970s, the editors supported the founding of research in this area at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and the Austrian chair at Stanford University in California. Their tasks are to promote Austrian and Central European studies among professors and students of their host nation. This anthology contains not only a description of the institution's activities in the academic year 2008/2009, but also the working papers of ten of their present PhD students. Their research covers a period from the nineteenth century to the present.
