Graham Clure is a PhD student in government at Harvard University, where he is completing a dissertation titled "European Illusions: Political Economy and War from Rousseau to the French Revolution." The dissertation is about the impact on Enlightenment political thought of the elimination of Poland from the map of Europe. An article drawn from this project will appear shortly in the History of European Ideas under the title "Rousseau, Diderot and the Spirit of Catherine the Great's Reforms" and a second paper will be part of the forthcoming collection, The Economic Turn: Recasting Political Economy in Enlightenment Europe, edited by Steven Kaplan and Sophus Reinert.
