Institute for History Annual Report 2010 - O - Universiteit Leiden

to escape the pressure of the national template in
research (whereby national phenomena are
automatically understood and explained in terms
of national developments), the concept of political
transfer is an important heuristic tool. In addition,
Europe and international or supra-national
organisations, such as those involved in post-War
European unification, can then be studied as
platforms of political transfer.
