COURSE DESCRIPTION

Why would these two multiethnic and multi-confessional land empires not survive the dawn of the twentieth century? Reluctantly yet repeatedly both Russian and Ottoman empires – each other’s most unrelenting foes – similarly embarked on reform during the nineteenth century. In the European inter-state realm, this entailed opting for military alliances as opposed to international isolation, and even as in the case of Russia reforming that inter-state order. Meanwhile, in the domestic realm it meant the exaltation for reform projects such as permanent laws and new institutions, political economy and political representation. The course will provide a reading to these contested concepts as the nationalistic and social revolutionary fever engulfs the respective imperial societies in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century.
