economic crises and the european Revolutions of 1848
The Journal of Economic History, 2001Co-Authors: Helge Berger, Mark SpoererAbstract:Recent historical research tends to view the 1848 Revolutions in Europe as caused by a surge of radical ideas and by long-term socioeconomic problems. However, many contemporary observers interpreted much of the upheaval as a consequence of shortterm economic causes, specifically the serious shortfall in food supply that had shaken large parts of the Continent in 1845-1847, and the subsequent industrial slump. Applying standard quantitative methods to a data set of 27 European countries, we show that it was mainly immediate economic misery, and the fear thereof, that triggered the European Revolutions of 1848. In the 1 990s the acceleration of economic and political integration in Western Europe and the democratization of Eastern Europe led to an increasing interest in the turbulent year 1848, when large parts of the Continent experienced a striving for political participation and self-determination.1 The recent sesquicentennial has given rise to a wealth of literature, especially in countries where 1848 meant a first step towards more democratic political institutions, including Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Romania. Many of these studies reflect the scholarly trend away from social history. To be sure, even after the "cultural turn" most historians concede that structural socioeconomic problems contributed to rising popular discontent. But whereas in the 1 970s and 1 980s long- and shortterm socioeconomic determinants were pivotal in explanations of the 1848 Revolutions, short-term economic factors now tend to be marginalized; instead, greater weight is placed on the spread of liberal and democratic ideas, and on the inflexible and increasingly outdated political institutions of the time, which were ill-suited to cope with the societal

Russian Radicals and the West European Revolutions of 1848
The Review of Politics, 2020Co-Authors: Frederick C BarghoornAbstract:The unsuccessful European Revolutions and successful counter-Revolutions of 1848–49 elicited complex and surprisingly little-studied responses in Russia. The court, the bureaucracy and the upholders of the status quo in general reacted much as they had to the great French Revolution of 1789. Their never banished fears of Western revolutionary contagion were fanned anew. This new paroxysm of anxiety was reflected in panicky domestic measures of repression, such as the arrest of a number of members of the relatively harmless Petrashevski discussion group, including the novelist Dostoievski, and in such foreign policy acts as Russian armed intervention against the Hungarian liberal revolution.
