The corona virus, BREXIT, “America first” and many other current developments and crises bring up the crucial question how much globalisation on the one hand and nationalism, states or nation-states on the other have been driving forces in historical processes.

The 7^th Summer Academy will be hosted by Prof Susanne Lachenicht, Universitaet Bayreuth.

As well as providing the selected students with an opportunity to present papers and engage in
