Research Area 2 distinguishes itself from a political history that is part of a larger history of classical political ideas, or one that limits itself to an analysis of actors and institutional matters. It explores concepts, models, practices, and actors in a crosscutting rather than exclusive approach, by striving to go beyond the usual chronological divisions, and by notably basing itself on networks, transfers, and a systematically comparative dimension on the European scale.
The objective of Research Area 2 is therefore to provide a multi-scale, transnational, and multi-topic approach that is open to other disciplinary approaches: law, political science, sociology, anthropology, German studies, etc., particularly in an effort to illuminate certain concepts relating to citizenship or the European public sphere.
