Central Europe in the High Middle Ages
This groundbreaking comparative history of the early centuries of Bohemia, Hungary and Poland sets the development of each polity in the context of the central European region as a whole. Focusing on the origins of the realms and their development in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the book concludes with the thirteenth century when significant changes in social and economic structures occurred. The book presents a series of thematic chapters on every aspect of the early history of the region covering political, religious, economic, social and cultural developments, including an investigation of origin myths that questions traditional national narratives.

Burgenland
1945 wurde das Burgenland - bis 1921 Teil Ungarns - ein zweites Mal Bundesland der Republik Osterreich. Nach der Besatzungsdekade und der Phase als Grenzland am Eisernen Vorhang kommen nach dem Ende des Kommunismus durch die sogenannte "Ostoffnung" neue Herausforderungen und Chancen auf das Land an der EU-Aussengrenze zu.
