For the upcoming European Social Science History Conference in Ghent (Belgium) I want to organize a session on political relations and intellectual transfer between nationalist ideologies and movements in 19th and 20th century Europe. The session will discuss how nationalist ideologies and movements from different European countries influenced and communicated with each other, as well as how transnational experiences affected the thinking and acting of nationalists. Papers may address various nationalist ideologies and movements from all political backgrounds. The session intends to investigate in which ways nationalist movements and ideologies were not only actors in the respective national arenas, but also part of transnational political and intellectual developments.

Please send your abstract of 200-300 words by April 20 (deadline for submission of the session proposal is May 1) to Stefan Vogt (Center for German Studies, Ben Gurion University, Beer-Sheva, Israel) at vogt@bgu.ac.il. Please feel free to contact me for any questions or suggestions regarding the proposed session.
