Università Roma Tre

The course aims to ensure the knowledge about the transformations of the economy , society and the institutions of the past two centuries . At the end of the course, students will be given the tools of critical knowledge and the interpretative keys about contemporary modernity, taking as its starting point the first industrial revolution and the transition from absolute State to the Liberal and constitutional State until globalization and the end of the East - West bipolarism considered as the point of arrival. During the introductory lessons we will propose some methodological issues concerning an interdisciplinary approach for the historical research and for the periodization of the socio-economic and political- institutional history.
