Europe's present and future are dominated by increasingly closer political and economic union. The many divergent paths followed by European countries in the past are gradually converging. Yet Europe's pasts, for good or ill, shape our current thinking and will influence decision-making in the future.

Bringing together papers delivered at the 13th biennial conference of the Australasian Association of European Historians in Auckland, this book captures the results of new and exciting research in a wide variety of important areas of scholarship including migration, nationalism, revolution, war and dictatorship.
