Transatlantic Perspectives on Central Europe: The Botstiber Institute Series in Austrian-American Studies

This new series, in collaboration with the Central European University, is devoted to the study of the historical relationship between the United States and Austria, broadly conceived to include the Habsburg Monarchy and its successor states from the early modern period to the present day. The series brings together scholarship that treats historical Austria and the United States not as isolated national units, but as historically entangled spaces connected through migration, diplomacy, commerce, religion, science, culture, and imperial governance. The scope of the series is intentionally transnational and multi-scalar. While Austria and the United States form the core poles of analysis, volumes may range across Central and East-Central Europe (the Habsburg lands and successor states), the Atlantic world, as well as other trans imperial and global settings in which Austrian and American actors intersected. For these reasons, the anticipated series stretches from the eighteenth century to the present-day.
