Der führende Historiker der europäischen Expansion legt eine knappe und dennoch anschauliche Darstellung dieses Fundamentalprozesses der neueren Weltgeschichte von 1415 bis 1995 vor. Neben den überseeischen Kolonialreichen werden darin auch die Kontinentalimperien und gleichzeitiger nicht-europäischer Kolonialismus behandelt.
In the 1960s there was renewed interest in migration history in Western Europe due to the increase of immigration. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the so-called Eastern Bloc, the history of borders came again into focus, leading to a new generation in migration history. This development was reinforced by the "summer of migration" of 2015. The history of migration to Austria, especially during the Second Republic, has long been a topic overlooked by historians, but received increased attention since the 1990s. The present volume presents research currently being done on the history of migration to or through Austria.
