We engage with topics and themes from the Age of Revolutions and the rise of nationalism to the genesis of the modern state system, imperialism, nationalism, and internationalism, including the two world wars, the Cold War, and their enduring legacies. Our methodological approaches draw from a wide and interdisciplinary range with a focus on political, legal, intellectual, and cultural history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:43%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/nng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/713\/2025\/06\/Bundesarchiv_B_145_Bild-F019711-0006_Bonn_AA_Konferenz_der_Botschafter_aus_Asien.jpg\" data-credit=\"Bundesarchiv\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2767\" style=\"width:334px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/nng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/713\/2025\/06\/Bundesarchiv_B_145_Bild-F019711-0006_Bonn_AA_Konferenz_der_Botschafter_aus_Asien.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/nng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/713\/2025\/06\/Bundesarchiv_B_145_Bild-F019711-0006_Bonn_AA_Konferenz_der_Botschafter_aus_Asien-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/nng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/713\/2025\/06\/Bundesarchiv_B_145_Bild-F019711-0006_Bonn_AA_Konferenz_der_Botschafter_aus_Asien-768x747.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Weltsaal in the Federal Foreign Office (Bonn), February 1965.
