Jörg Requate: Europe on the threshold of high modernity (1870-1890)

Between 1870 and 1890, Europe changed significantly: nation states consolidated in parallel with growing global interdependencies. Scientific innovations fascinated and frightened at the same time. Economic dynamism led to new forms of social inequality. The political mass market brought participation, but also exclusion and oppression. The ambivalences of high modernity took on unmistakable contours. The volume introduces the research debates and contains a detailed bibliography.
