\nClosing conference of the CONDE research project, organised by the C\u00b2DH \/ University of Luxembourg and the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History, Munich.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Deindustrialization can be regarded as one of the most pivotal transformations in recent history. But how can we write a comprehensive history of the transitions resulting from deindustrialization, determine which perspectives warrant further consideration and identify approaches that can be used to gain novel insights? These were the questions that the closing conference of the CONDE research project<\/a> sought to answer. The conference examined the broader ramifications of Western deindustrialization since the 1970s, primarily focusing on Europe while also endeavouring to adopt a global perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference was introduced by STEFAN KREBS (Luxembourg), CHRISTIAN MARX (Munich) and MARTINA STEBER (Munich), who situated the CONDE project within the wider research field. While the term \u201cdeindustrialization\u201d has become somewhat of a political buzzword, they warned against jumping to over-simplistic conclusions and suggested that deindustrialization should be understood as a process that not only profoundly altered economic structures but also had a major social-economic, cultural and political impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
