Unlikely refuge? Refugees and citizens in East-Central Europe in the 20th century

Project description

Revisiting East-Central Europe's status as a place of refuge in the 20th century

In comparison to the tendencies that traditional historical research has imposed, the emerging field of global refugee history requires comparative research spanning a longer period and a wider territory, transcending national master narratives. In this direction, the EU-funded UnRef project aims to study the large refugee migrations to turbulent East-Central Europe in the 20th century and the divisive issue of refugee protection. Through comparative historical research combined with multi-disciplinary approaches, UnRef probes the multifaceted entanglements with refugees in countries created in 1918 on the ruins of the Habsburg Monarchy over the 20th century.
