Bio | Europe and the Habsburg Question: 1916-1955.The doctoral thesis, for which he is currently a PhD candidate, entitled “Europe and the Habsburg Question: 1916-1955”, examines Central European pro-Habsburg Monarchist Legitimism from a transnational, and transatlantic, comparative perspective. Other research interests include: Firstly, how romantic narratives were used by reactionary counter-revolutionary political forces to navigate societal upheaval (Aufbruch) of emerging (late-) Modernity throughout the first half of the 20th-Century. Secondly, intersections between Central European and Irish experiences of transitioning from multiethnic empire to republican nation states. Thirdly, the cult of the unknown soldier and the autocratic charismatic legitimatisation of authority in interwar Austrian politics. Fourthly, Vatican early- to mid-20th-Century foreign policy. |
