The project "Money(-)making Empire" examines monetary evolution in the Baltic Sea region within the broader context of early modern Northern Europe, using the Swedish Empire as a case study. Conceptualizing the empire as a polycentric polity, the project challenges nation-state–centred historiography and instead analyses money as a transregional lens through which flows of power, conflict, and integration can be traced across imperial spaces. Monetary policy was central to both warfare and empire-building and its effects extended far beyond Sweden proper, influencing peasants, soldiers, merchants, urban authorities, and foreign rulers across the Baltic Sea Region.

The Department of Economic History, Institutions, Politics and World Economy at the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Institutions and Political Economy Research Group (IPERG) invite applications for a Postdoctoral Position in the project "Immigration and Ideological Activation in the Second Spanish Republic: Crisis, Mobilization, and Political Integration," led by Francesc Amat and funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Consolidación Investigadora 2025, CNS2025-166672). The project investigates how immigrants in Barcelona during the Second Spanish Republic (1930s) became politically activated and integrated, despite cultural, educational, and economic disadvantages. Its central hypothesis focuses on horizontal ideological transmission—how political ideas and behaviors spread peer-to-peer—as a key mechanism of political socialization.
