Reviews

Since the longue duree is neglected all too often, this volume restores the balance between the short term and long-term in a positive way. Taking account of the long-term opens up the analysis to new viewpoints. [...] At the same time, however, much of the present analysis of this volume relies on existing research that is based on in-depth studies with a shorter time span. Obviously, both are needed.
