Colloquium “Europe's History of the Present: Universalism and Particularism”

The KFG colloquium continues with its next session on Wednesday, July 16th, 2025, with a lecture by Junior Fellow 
Václav Rameš on "In Search of a New Balance of Power. Transforming Industrial Relations in Late Socialism and Post-Socialism from the perspective of international agents (late 1980’s – early 2000’s)".

Václav Rameš currently works at the Institute for Contemporary History at the Czech Academy of Sciences, where he focuses on the transformation of industrial relations in the late 1980's and 1990's in the post-communist central Europe. In 2021, he published my dissertation "Market without adjectives, or economic democracy?", in which he examined the political conflicts over the post-communist ownership transformation and its "futures past". He graduated from the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague in 2020, and gus research focus is mostly on social history of communism and post-communism, intellectual history and labour history. In Munich, he would like to have a closer look at how post-communism occurred at the transnational level.
