| Research Abstract |
Recent trends towards further integration of the European Community drives us forcefully to remould our frame of reference based on the idea of a Europe as a system of nation states. Europe as such a system is being recast into one of an ever extending regionalism. How are we going to grapple with this new situation in the field of historical studies? We must first of all shed the old-fashioned framework of national history and ask questions not about nation states but about individuals and families on the one hand and about regions on the other. The present research project in particular attempts to re-examine history of Europe as a cluster of regions. The contrast between the North and the South was chosen as the symbolic common term of approach. Sample results of research by members of this project may be picked up. Kido described the contrast and regional difference in social terms between the South and the North in Great Britain and in England. Kawahara compared various methods of poor relief in urban districts of Italy on the one hand and the Low Countries on the other. Yasumura pointed out the intellectual influence of Erasmus of Rotterdam to sixteenth-century Spain and the watershed of the 1530s when the northern influence was brushed aside and the intellectual world of modern Spain came to be delimited by the conservative orthodoxy of the Catholic Church.
