The world economics which finishes with the industrialization was created at that time.

The PhD program in General Contemporary History allows the study and exploration of the general tendencies and regulations in the development of the 20^th century civilization. The period between the two world wars is a period for political and social development of the leading countries - the U.S.A., Great Britain, France, Germany, and Russia. The period after the end of World War II was characterized by the bipolar division of the world and the opposition East-West.

Balkan History

The purpose of the PhD program in History of the Balkans is rather to lead them into the time and space than to acquaint them only with the early Enlightenment historiography tradition which means pursuing the objective historic truth which does not give way to politics and emotions. In this sense, it is not only important to explore this cultural function of history but also to provide more historic resources for the European identity and its regional characteristic features.
