Established in 2004, the Institute of Historical Studies carries out interdisciplinary research focusing on the study of the Slovene border regions of Primorska and Istria as a complex geographical space and an intersection of various national, ethnic, and cultural groups hailing from central Europe and the Mediterranean, as well other European regions. Social, economic, anthropological, ethnological, political and cultural aspects are considered, placing increased emphasis on Slovene history, from a regional, local and micro-analytical viewpoint.
Institute's research endeavours are divided in the following fields: Political and Diplomatic History of Western Slovenia, Social and Economic History, Population History, and History of Art and Culture.
Research projects
The projects carried out by the institute explore diverse themes, such as rebellious survival strategies utilized in Slovene territory, cross-border relations, the impact of modernity on the rural areas of the Primorska region, and secret operations of Anglo-American diplomacy and intelligence services in western Slovenia in the pre and post World War II period.
