This conference aims to address the emergence of the working class, labor struggles, and socialism in the Balkans. The starting point of this meeting is that the specific dynamics of the  capitalist mode of production, inter-imperial struggles for influence, and competing nationalist movements within a highly ethnoreligiously divided demographic context created similar and comparable conditions for the formation of working classes and the struggles for socialism in the so-called Balkans. The Balkan Socialist Federation initiative after the 1908 Revolution in the Ottoman Empire and the Balkan Communist Federation in the 1920s are important reflections of the common history of leftist movements in this region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the conference is to bring together scholars who, beginning with the last quarter of the nineteenth century and within this broader context, seek to explore labor struggles and organizations, the formation of the socialist
movement across different localities, and the place of socialism in relation to other political and ideological currents, most notably  nationalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
