British Academy Conference
Convenors:
- Dr Paul Seaward, History of Parliament Trust
- Professor David Feldman, Birkbeck, University of London
From the revolutions of 1848 to the beginning of the Cold War, nationalist and minority movements within the complex ethnic map of Europe have interacted with democratic political forces, stretching the various rules and conventions of parliamentary systems – historically created by the aristocratic elite – to breaking point. This conference will explore the rise and impact of nationalism on parliaments and political organisation. It will also examine the collective experience of a continent in how to resolve, or fail to resolve, cultural oppositions through institutional means.
Speakers include:
- Professor Lord Bew, Queen’s University, Belfast

- Dr Marnix Beyen, University of Antwerp
- Professor John Breuilly, London School of Economics
