Description This book invites readers on an intellectually stimulating journey into nineteenth-century Europe, the era in which European modernity took shape. By analysing the very concept of “Europe” through its political structures, cultural expressions, religious debates, and social transformations, the authors reveal how deeply this formative century continues to shape contemporary thought. The ideas and dynamics of the long nineteenth century laid the foundations of institutions and modes of governance that still influence everyday life, political imagination, social practices, and collective aspirations across Europe and beyond. The book’s distinctive strength lies in its genuinely interdisciplinary approach, co-authored by a historian and a political scientist. Through a sustained dialogue between historical inquiry and social-scientific analysis, it offers not only a rich body of knowledge but also an original interpretative framework for understanding the nineteenth century and its enduring legacies. Designed for students and scholars of history, political science, and European studies, the volume will also appeal to all readers seeking a deeper understanding of the intellectual and institutional roots of contemporary European politics and society.
