Course Description:

This course compares the histories of the late Habsburg and Ottoman Empires from roughly the mid-eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. The diversity of these two vast, multiethnic empires does not permit exhaustive coverage of every constituent group or issue. Primary focus will be on the relationship between the imperial center and periphery as demonstrated through military and administrative policy, economic, social, and cultural change, nationalism, and political reform.

Despite frequent predictions of their imminent downfall from the eighteenth century onward, these “sick men” of Europe endured well into the era of the modern nation state. Until fairly recently some historians were similarly inclined to write off these vast East European empires as little more than curious anachronisms. Careful consideration of how the past of each empire broadens and deepens our understanding of empire, in general, constitutes an overarching goal of this class.

Required Texts:

Course Requirements:

Class Participation 50% Historiographic Essays (2 @ 25% each) 50%

Class Participation (50%) is the lifeblood of a graduate seminar. Attendance alone does not constitute participation. Each student will lead one or more class discussions. This entails preparing thoughtful discussion questions in advance for posting on Blackboard and/or via e-mail. This should be done no later than 8 p.m. on the day prior to the class in which you will serve as the discussion facilitator. Everyone should come to class having read all assigned material and be prepared to discuss it at length. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of Blackboard’s Discussion Board to initiate or continue discussions outside the classroom.

Historiographic Essays (50%) of 12-15 pages of text (typewritten, double-spaced, one-inch margins, 12-point font, with endnotes or footnotes and bibliography) should address some aspect (e.g., agrarian reform, cultural nationalism, religion) of East European/Balkan history in comparative perspective. Students will select topics in consultation with me during office hours, so plan to meet with me at least once during the first weeks of the quarter to discuss your interests and ideas. You may benefit from consulting one of the following survey texts for ideas:
