From 1993-1994, Alice was a Wilson Center Research Scholar revising her PhD dissertation. The resulting book, “Nationalism and the Crowd in Liberal Hungary, 1948-1914,” was published by the Wilson Center Press in 2000 and was awarded the Barbara Jelavich book prize by the Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies. Alice is a professor of history at the University of Florida. She co-edited East Europe Reads Nietzsche (Columbia U Press, 1998) with Peter Bergmann and Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal and served as the President of the Hungarian Studies Association.
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe”—an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
