One of the biggest challenges faced by the social sciences is to understand why certain regions of the world have become richer than others. Economic history can provide valuable insights. To broaden our understanding of both past and present drivers of prosperity, the participant of the workshop will share ideas about the unique historical circumstances of the Central, Eastern, and South-Eastern European Countries. These new insights can be drawn from examining their tumultuous and complex histories, as well as their untapped sources of historical data. This may concern several developmental factors, endowments, geography, institutions, and even culture, in different time periods. The prime objective of the WEast workshop in Cracow is to facilitate communication between scholars from the ‘East’ and the ‘West’ working in the broad realm of Eastern European economic and social history in order to share their research and to encourage exchange of knowledge about available sources of data and state-of-the-art methodologies.
