fields:

- Origins and Forms of Social and Political Change
- Cultural Systems
- Infrastructure, Migration and Transfer of Knowledge

Research at the Graduate School especially focuses on interrelations and
interdependencies between East and Southeast Europe and other regions
of the World. A lively interest in interdisciplinary research questions and
sensitivity for transnational and spatial perspectives are therefore expected.
In the context of its primary focus on East and Southeast Europe, the
Graduate School draws on the following disciplines: History, Literary and
Language Studies, Art History, Theater Studies, Political Sciences and Law.
In the context of cross-regional comparisons and transfer studies the
School's expertise in Area Studies is complemented by insights from
Chinese, Japanese and North American Studies.

In an international working environment the Graduate School offers ideal
conditions for the realization of excellent research projects in the
Humanities as well as in Social and Legal Studies which focus on East and
Southeast Europe, and the interconnection of this region with other regions
of the world. Residential obligation in Munich or Regensburg, two cities
noted for very high quality of living, is stipulated.

another eighteen months. A basic monthly stipend of 1.365 Euro is
provided, plus travel funds, grants for material costs as well as family
allowances and child-care expenses in accordance with DFG guidelines
