Cultural Identity Politics in the (Post-)Transitional Societies

Notes on the authors
ANDREA KOMLOSY studied history and political science in Vienna. Her
dissertation (1984) was devoted to the economic and social history of a Lower Austria
region, the Waldviertel, analysing the reasons for its peripheralization. Komlosy’s
habilitation (2001) dealt with migration and the single market formation in the
Habsburg Monarchy, looking at internal borders, which during the 18th and 19th
centuries were abolished for the transport of goods, but established to control the
mobility of people. Komlosy is professor at the Institute for Economic and Social
History, University of Vienna. She has published on problems of uneven development
on a regional, European and global scale.
