Civilization versus liberalism on the European periphery
Bill Kissane is an associate professor in politics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). He received his BA and MA from Trinity College Dublin and MSc and Ph.D. from LSE.
At the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Kissane will work on a comparative study of regime formation in Finland, Ireland, Spain, and Turkey. He will study these countries, who are on the periphery of Europe, at highly nationalistic stages in each country's history when regime consolidation and isolation took place. His focus will be on investigating what makes the periphery distinct in terms of its relationship to liberalism, the influence of long-term narratives of national greatness and decline, and the role of religion in the making for national identities.
