Podcasts about contemporary european history

What does social justice mean in a European context—and how has that meaning evolved through dictatorship, democracy, and division? In this episode of the Transformative Podcast, Radka Šustrová speaks with historians Martin Conway and Camilo Erlichman about their new co-edited volume, Social Justice in 20th Century Europe (Cambridge University Press, 2024). Together, they explore the conceptual, political, and disciplinary challenges of writing a history of social justice—and how this approach unsettles classical narratives of 20th-century Europe. From labour and gender to postwar reconstruction and European integration, the episode offers a rich historical perspective on justice as both a contested idea and a lived practice. Martin Conway is Professor of Contemporary European History at the University of Oxford. A leading scholar of postwar Europe, his research focuses on democracy, political change, and social transformation in the 20th Century. He is the author of Europe's Democratic Age: Western Europe, 1945–1968 (Princeton University Press, 2020), a significant reinterpretation of the democratic transition in the postwar West. Camilo Erlichman is an Assistant Professor of History at Maastricht University and co-founder of the Occupation Studies Research Network. His work explores occupation regimes, postwar transitions, and institutional change in Europe. He has published widely on the Allied occupation of Germany and contributes to broader debates on governance, legitimacy, and social justice in modern European history.

Martin Conway, Camilo Erlichman, Fabio Wolkenstein, Julia Hofmann, Eva Maria MuschikDEMISE OF A DREAM? SOCIAL JUSTICE PAST AND PRESENTToday, we live in a time of a post-liberal challenge to social justice. Over much of the twentieth century, social justice has been closely associated with liberal democracy, with its claims included, in one way or another, in the political programmes of all democratic parties and movements. The expansion of social justice into the rhetoric of both the political right and left, however, has led to the universalization of social justice claims, and its promises have become an essential part of the ways in which illiberal movements and authoritarian regimes in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have constructed their legitimacy. What can this history teach us to face the challenges of today more effectively? Here, historians will discuss the modern evolution of concepts and practices of social justice in conversation with social scientists, engaging with questions such as: What have historically proven to be successful forms of collective mobilization around issues of social justice in both democracies and authoritarian regimes? Do individual appeals to social justice matter? What languages does social justice speak? How was social justice reimagined during the twentieth century? Does the debate and concept of social justice in the twentieth century differ from today?The talk and discussion occur on the occasion of the release of Social Justice in Twentieth-Century Europe (Cambridge U Press, 2024), edited by Martin Conway and Camilo Erlichman and written by an international team of leading historians. The book provides the first historical account of the evolution of notions of social justice across Europe since the late nineteenth century. It analyses the often divergent ways in which political movements, state institutions, intellectual groups, and social organisations have understood and sought to achieve social justice. Martin Conway, Professor of Contemporary European History at the University of OxfordCamilo Erlichman, Assistant Professor in History at the Department of History, Maastricht UniversityFabio Wolkenstein, Associated Professor, Department of Political Science, University of ViennaJulia Hofmann, Sociologist, Chamber of Labour, ViennaModeration: Eva-Maria Muschik, Assistant Professor in Development Studies, University of Vienna A joint event of the Bruno Kreisky Forum and the MSCA Research Project WORK-AGE-JUST

In this conversation at the Review of Democracy, Martin Conway and Camilo Erlichman – editors of the new volume Social Justice in Twentieth-Century Europe – discuss how to approach the question of social justice historically; show how this aspiration may be placed at the confluence of key developments in the twentieth century; explain how focusing on these questions allows us to study the interactions between rulers and the ruled; sketch some of the main features of different eras of social justice; and consider whether social justice is still understood primarily by its absence as it so often was during the past century. Martin Conway is a Professor of Contemporary European History at the University of Oxford. His recent books include the major monograph Western Europe's Democratic Age: 1945 to 1968. Camilo Erlichman is a historian of modern and contemporary Europe who acts as an Assistant Professor at Maastricht University. He is also the co-founder and co-convenor of the Occupation Studies Research Network. Social Justice in Twentieth-Century Europe has been published by Cambridge University Press.   The conversation was conducted by Ferenc Laczó.  Ádám Hushegyi prepared the audio file for publication.

Join Raza Ahmad & Talib Man for Monday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Anti Islam leaders' and 'Space Exploration' Anti Islam leaders Islamophobia is on the rise in Europe. The Islamophobic street movements and political parties have become more popular. Join us as we discuss the rise of anti-Islam movements in Europe and the compatibility of Islam with European civilisation. Space Exploration Over five decades have passed since humans first set foot on the Moon—an unparalleled milestone etched in history. Despite recent perceptions of a diminished global interest in space exploration, the landscape is undergoing a transformation. Enterprising private entities like SpaceX are injecting fresh vitality into the field, pushing the boundaries of what humanity can achieve and reigniting public fascination.

„Kommunismus“, verkündete Lenin bekanntlich, „ist Sowjetmacht plus Elektrifizierung des ganzen Landes“. Doch wer genau waren die Köpfe hinter dem Elektrifizierungsplan? Und unter welchen Prämissen arbeiteten sie? Daniela Russ und Hannah Schmidt-Ott sprechen über die sowjetische Energieplanung der 1920er-Jahre und das Verständnis von Energiewirtschaft als „komplexes Ganzes“. Es geht um die Gruppe von Ingenieuren, die mit der Entwicklung des Elektrifizierungsvorhabens betraut war, das politische Projekt, das mit ihm verfolgt wurde, seine Rückbindung an Marx'sche Theorie und die Frage, warum es für die Energetiker die Energieressourcen waren, die Geschichte machen sollten – und woran das scheiterte.Daniela Russ ist historische Soziologin und Juniorprofessorin für Global Dynamics of Resource Use and Distribution an der Universität LeipzigHannah Schmidt-Ott ist Redakteurin beim sozialwissenschaftlichen Fachforum Soziopolis und der Zeitschrift Mittelweg 36Literatur:Daniela Russ: „Energetika: Gleb Krzhizhanovskii's Conception of the Nature–Society Metabolism“, in: Historical Materialism 29, no. 2 (2021), S. 188–218.Daniela Russ: „,Socialism Is Not Just Built for a Hundred Years': Renewable Energy and Planetary Thought in the Early Soviet Union (1917–1945)“, in: Contemporary European History 31, no. 4 (November 2022), S. 491–508.Heiko Haumann: „Beginn der Planwirtschaft.

Inspired by an email from a longstanding and attentive listener, this Sidebar episode examines an essay by Gordon Wood introducing his book The Purpose of the Past. We consider what it means to have a "historical sense," and the humility that comes with it. We also look at the history of the debate over the purpose of history, and briefly at the difference between critical theory, on the one hand, and teaching the "ugly parts," on the other.

Virginia Hall's prison cell in northeastern Spain was something out of a nightmare. Hall imagined the moment in which the Spanish police would hand her over to the Gestapo and their glee at having finally captured "The Limping Lady." Hall knew the Nazis wouldn't risk letting her escape. They'd transfer her to a secret facility, interrogate her, torture her, and kill her. Or sometimes the Nazis kept their prisoners alive and attempted to leverage them against the Allies. Months of psychological torture would give way to more physical punishments. Dousing with freezing water. Electric shocks. Beatings and cutting. This was the way of the Nazis. Virginia's Hall's American nationality was maybe the one thing that could save her. In late 1942, Spain was still considered technically neutral in the war. The Spanish dictator Francisco Franco had offered Hitler Spain's allegiance in return for aid in nation-building. There was a division of Spanish volunteers fighting for the German army, but Spain still remained reluctant and fickle.  Andrew Orr says, "Franco's regime is ideologically complex and people still fight over whether or not it was fascist or just really authoritarian and traditionalist. Regardless of how anyone's individual sees it, the regime was very friendly to Nazi Germany and especially fascist Italy because Italy and Germany had backed Franco in the civil war. So Spain tended politically to like the Axis powers a lot." But Virginia Hall's capture by the Spanish was too big a threat to the British. Hall knew too much, and the Nazis could assume that the British would change battle strategy once the Special Operations Executive, Hall's intelligence agency, discovered she'd been captured. Hall's information would be useless to the Axis Powers, and so she was as good as dead.  This episode contains interviews with:• Andrew Orr: a professor in the Department of History at Kansas State University, a specialist in modern military history, intelligence operations in the Middle East, imperialism, civil-military relations, and the history of French Communist Party identity; author of Women and the French Army• Chris Costa: Executive Director of the International Spy Museum, a 34-year veteran of the Department of Defense, and he served 25 years in the United States Army working in counterintelligence, human intelligence and with special operations forces in Central America, Europe, and the Middle East.• Judith Pearson: expert on Virginia Hall and author of the book The Wolves at the Door: The True Story of America's Greatest Female Spy• Dr. Ludivine Broch: A scholar of World War II French history and lecturer at the University of Westminster, UK; Editor of Contemporary European History, associate fellow of the Birbeck Institute for the study of Antisemitism; co-founder of the French History Network• Brad Catling: great nephew of Virginia HallLearn more at diversionaudio.com/good-assassins “Good Assassins” is a production of Diversion Audio, in association with iHeartPodcasts.

Happy Platinum Jubilee! As Queen Elizabeth II becomes the first British monarch to mark 70 years on the throne - as well as commander-in-chief of Her Majesty's Armed Forces - we trace the origins of the House of Windsor's close-knit links to the British military.Why are the two so seemingly inseparable? The story begins in the First World War, when the dynasty changed its name from the House of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha to distance itself from its German roots. Rather than suffer due to its kinship with the kaiser, the royal family's stock amongst the UK public and its soldiery actually rose during and after the Great War.In this episode James is joined by Heather Jones, Professor in Modern & Contemporary European History at UCL and the author of a new book on the subject, to explore exactly why the Armed Forces serve for king, queen and country.Prof. Jones's book For King and Country: The British Monarchy and the First World War is out now via Cambridge University Press.For more Warfare content, subscribe to our Warfare Wednesday newsletter here.If you'd like to learn even more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today!

What does it mean to be a digital scholar? The answers to this seemingly simple question are probably as diverse as the interdisciplinary field of digital humanities itself. To learn more about the ins and outs of the emerging research area, we invited Prof. Valérie Schafer from the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH) for an interview. Valérie Schafer has been a Professor in Contemporary European History at the C2DH since 2018, where she does research on the history of the Internet and the Web, the history of European digital cultures and infrastructures, and born-digital heritage. Previously, she worked at The French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). She is furthermore one of the co-editors of the book series “Studies in Digital History and Hermeneutics”. With De Gruyter acquisitions editor Rabea Rittgerodt, she talked about her own path in the digital humanities, shared passions among digital scholars, cultural changes as well as the importance of preserving our digital heritage in times of crises. *** Book series “Studies in Digital History and Hermeneutics” ➡️ https://www.degruyter.com/serial/sdhh-b/html You might also be interested in our new Open Access “Journal of Digital History”, a joint initiative of the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) and De Gruyter ➡️ https://www.degruyter.com/journal/key/jdh/html

Welcome to the 427th episode of COVID-Calls, a daily discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic with a diverse collection of disaster experts. My name is Jacob Steere-Williams, I am a historian of public health at the College of Charleston, in South Carolina, and I'm thrilled to be hosting the program this week. Dr. Kathleen Bachynski is an assistant professor of public health at Muhlenberg College. Dr. Bachynski's work on public health is wide-ranging, but she is a leading expert on brain injuries, sports, injury prevention, youth health, and risk. Her book, No Game for Boys to Play: The History of Youth Football and the Origins of a Public Health Crisis has been called by one scholar called “smart, salient, timely, eminently readable, and socially important.” It's a terrific book and I highly suggest everyone order a copy. Dr. Johanna Mellis is an assistant professor of World History at Ursinus (Er-sigh-nus) College outside of Philadelphia and was a former D-I swimmer at the College of Charleston and a former swim coach. She is a historian of Cold War sport who analyzes sporting interactions between Hungary, the International Olympic Committee, and the US. She is a co-host of the End of Sport podcast that explores capitalist sport, labor, and justice for the end of times and has written pieces for the Guardian, Time, Washington Post, and LA Times, and also for the Journal of Sport History and Contemporary European History. I am so excited to read the book she is working on, Changing the Global Game: Hungarian Athletes and International Sport during the Cold War.

On 7 February 1992, twelve states signed the Maastricht Treaty, the foundation treaty of the European Union. As the treaty enters its 30s, what has it achieved? And where do we go from here? Bruegel's Maria Demertzis talks to Amy Verdun, Professor at the University of Victoria and visiting Professor at Leiden University, and Mathieu Segers, Professor in Contemporary European History at Maastricht University and Europe Chair at Studio Europa Maastricht, starting with their own personal recollection of 1992. This episode is recorded in collaboration with Studio Europa Maastricht. Studio Europa Maastricht is a centre of expertise for Europe-related debate and research founded in 2018 and supported by the partners of the Maastricht, Working on Europe programme: Maastricht University, the Province of Limburg and the City of Maastricht. Together we aim to position Maastricht, the capital of Limburg, as a meeting place for citizen dialogue and debate and establish a centre of excellence for research on Europe and European integration. Conversation on 30 years EMU will continue on 26 & 27 September – more information can be found here: https://studioeuropamaastricht.nl/debate-dialogue/regeneration-maastricht/

Heather Jones, Professor in Modern and Contemporary European History at University College London and Maurice Walsh, Author, "Bitter Freedom; Ireland in a revolutionary world" discuss the Anglo-Irish Treaty.

Plastik ist allgegenwärtig – so allgegenwärtig, dass dies vielen Menschen Angst macht. In den meisten Gegenständen, die wir benutzen, unserer Kleidung und Kosmetik, in Nahrungsmitteln (Stichwort Mikroplastik) - sogar auf dem Mond und in den tiefsten Tiefen der Weltmeere. Wie ein Stoff, den es vor wenigen Generationen noch nicht gab, so schnell die Welt erobern konnte, darüber sprechen wir in dieser Folge "Terra X Geschichte - Der Podcast" mit der Technikhistorikerin **Andrea Westermann** - und auch, warum Plastik noch in Jahrmillionen Auskunft darüber geben könnte, dass eine intelligente Spezies auf der Erde existiert hat.

Where you and I and, I think, many others start from an assumption that somehow there is a thing called democracy and we sort of know what it is. But the diversity within democracy is far larger than that. You know, there's clear big institutional temperamental differences between visions of representatives ruling, people ruling, and so on. All these sorts of things are different models of democracy and therefore the word democracy in some respects becomes rather meaningless.Martin ConwayA full transcript is available at www.democracyparadox.com or a short review of Western Europe's Democratic Age: 1945—1968  here.Martin Conway is the author of the new book Western Europe's Democratic Age: 1945—1968 and a Professor of Contemporary European History at the University of Oxford.Key Highlights IncludeWhy Democracy Became Part of Western Europe's IdentityHow Democracy was a Process of Continual NegotiationThe Distinct Characteristics of Democracy in Western EuropeAn Account of the Transition from the Fourth to the Fifth Republic in FranceLessons for Democracy Today from Western Europe's PastKey LinksWestern Europe's Democratic Age: 1945-1968  by Martin ConwayLearn more about Martin Conway at Balliol College at the University of OxfordDemocracy and Dictatorship in Europe  by Sheri BermanDemocracy Paradox PodcastKurt Weyland Distinguishes Between Fascism and AuthoritarianismMichael Hughes on the History of Democracy in GermanyMore Episodes from the PodcastMore InformationDemocracy GroupApes of the State created all MusicEmail the show at jkempf@democracyparadox.comFollow on Twitter @DemParadoxFollow on Instagram @democracyparadoxpodcast100 Books on Democracy

105 years ago, it was the eve of the Battle of the Somme. This is regularly remembered as an Anglo-French offensive, and the contributions of Irish soldiers are often overlooked. In this episode, Dan Snow was joined by Heather Jones to discuss the experience of Irish soldiers at one of the bloodiest battles in history. Heather is Professor in Modern and Contemporary European History at UCL.© IWM See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ Dr. Edward Westermann is Professor of History at Texas A&M University (USA), where he teaches courses related to Modern and Contemporary European History. His most recent book is Drunk on Genocide: Alcohol and Mass Murder in Nazi Germany. In this episode, we focus on Drunk on Genocide. We start by talking about other historical examples of alcohol associated with coalitional violence. We then talk about drinking in German society prior to the rise of the Nazi regime. We discuss reasons why alcohol is consumed in a context of violence. We talk about rituals and their psychological effects. We discuss the relationship between masculinity and the Nazi regime, and also their relationship with geography. We talk about how rituals promoted social bonding. We ask what all of this tells us about human nature. We discuss what was behind the rise of the Nazi regime. We talk about different kinds of violence perpetrated during war and in concentration camps. We also talk about the possible role alcohol played in suicides in the end of the Nazi regime, and how it was used as an alibi in the Nuremberg trials. Finally, we discuss how this culture of masculinity and alcohol might have played a role in Germany after the II World War. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, THOMAS TRUMBLE, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, OMARI HICKSON, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, MIRAN B, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, MAX BEILBY, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, AND GARY G HELLMANN!

The rising appeal of populist political movements around the world and authoritarian approaches to government is a startling wake-up call for the political status quo. Our panellists will look at what we mean by crisis and how we can understand its roots, from economic stagnation to historical political divisions. This panel will explore the fallout from Brexit; the significance of the rise of the right across Europe and populist movements which could further destabilize the EU region.
