Group of researchers whose research areas cover a wide range of fields in Modern and Contemporary History, from the more traditional domains of political and economic history to innovative areas such as urban history, the history of crime, and the history of science and energy.

Despite its thematic diversity, the research developed by this Group is characterized by a transnational perspective and by the topicality of the issues analyzed. The different historical dynamics are thus investigated and put into perspective in the more global process of economic, social, political and cultural integration that characterized the emergence of the contemporary world.
