Research and Teaching Interests
Holly Case is a historian of modern East-Central and Southeastern Europe whose work focuses on territorial competition, minorities, and visions of European statehood. Her book, Between States: The Transylvanian Question and the European Idea during WWII, was published in May 2009. Through a close examination of the struggle between Hungary and Romania for control of Transylvania, the book shows how understandings of Europe evolved out of conflicts between states over territory and sovereignty.
