‘Three Cheers for Rudolph of Habsburg: Celebrating the 750th anniversary of his coronation’
Scholars are invited to celebrate the accession of Rudolf of Habsburg (as King of the Germans; Aachen, 24 October 1273), if only to say ‘others were a lot worse’. The world’s longest-running dynasty ended its days in a suitably Viennese manner with sort-of abdications, renunciations of renunciations and a short-lived return engagement, starring Charles I and Zita of Bourbon-Parma. Please pick out a Habsburg and say something nice about him or her, even if it’s in a Rosenkavalier, slightly awkward and left-handed kind of way.
Suggestions: Carlo Quinto is responsible for the Maltese Falcon, the ‘stuff that dreams are made of’.

As for Joseph II … where would Amadeus be without him? ‘Let’s have some fun’

Left-handed compliments (‘mit mir keine Nacht dir zu lang’) are welcome.

‘Philadelphia 1777 1787’
Next to Athens and London, this is the place that one can truly say ‘it all started here’. A locale inspiring two national and two state constitutions … In 14 years (1776-1790), no less. What is there about top-down constitution writing? Why were technocratically scholars so confident that government founding/refounding could be launched with a constitutional instrument? References to the San Marino Constitution (8 October 1600) welcome.

‘Europe invaded: 2022, 1683, 451, 479 BC’
‘Europe invaded: 2022, 1683, 451, 479 BC’. I refer to Kyiv (2022), Vienna (1683), Chalons-sur-Marne (451) and Plataea (479 BC): Europeans had just finished celebrating the 2500th anniversary of that victory, when another massive force from the east launched an invasion of Europe. What is it about Eurocentric ideals that inspires resistance to continental invasions? Does success have anything to do with European’s superior organizational ability? And, if this is the case, does that level of organizational competence (taken over 2,500 years) have something to do with the evolution of representative and parliamentary institutions?

‘Pacific Rim Political and Parliamentary History: 1867-1945’
Political and Parliamentary institutions in nations fronting the Pacific Ocean underwent fundamental (organic) changes in 1867 (Canada) and in 1889 (Japan) and 1901 (Australia). How do newly-founded nations learn from the experience of other nations; the topic is not limited to missions dispatched by Japan and China before and after the turn of the 20th century. Do divergences in the host political culture – if not outright contradictions – enable the ‘learning’ nation to avoid charges that it has ‘copied’ foreign political culture?

Topic ‘Elements of European political culture from the 11th century’
The International Commission for the History of Representative and Parliamentary Institutions will be holding its conference, as an affiliated society, during the American Historical Association’s annual meeting in Philadelphia 5 -8 January 2023.
‘Elements of European political culture from the 11th century’.
Medievalists in the last 50 years have identified specific elements in statecraft whose development can be traced forward. Some of these include consultation, negotiation, recording of disputes, choreography in ordered discourse and composition of procedural studies and treatises. What is the state of today’s scholarly art in identifying progress in statecraft into the renaissance and beyond?
