Recently, Ferenc Laczó (Assistant Professor in History at FASoS) has co-edited a large collective volume titled A Global History of Hungary, 1869-2022 (in the Hungarian original: Magyarország globális története, 1869-2022). In this blog, Laczó sketches the overarching concept of this volume and discusses how it came to fruition.
How can you tell the difference between a refugee and an economic migrant? Are migrants most loyal to their places of origin or their host states? Brigitte Le Normand explains why we are asking the wrong questions, drawing on her research for Citizens Without Borders: Yugoslavia and Its Migrant Workers in Western Europe. Brigitte is an associate professor in the History Department. Last year her book Citizens without Borders: Yugoslavia and Its Migrant Workers in Western Europe appeared with the University of Toronto Press.
Dr Ferenc Laczó recently authored a blog on the East-West divide within the European Union from a historical perspective. This was published on the website of the Research Center for the History of Transformations (RECET) at the University of Vienna.
