As a PhD candidate and central researcher in this project, you will work with the PI to study why and how royalist radicals between 1814 and 1830 appropriated and developed the instruments of parliamentary democracy for their own agenda, despite their ideological opposition, and how they legitimized this strategy. The main focus is France, but the European and imperial/ global context is also taken into account. The project can be adapted to meet the individual interests and skills of the PhD candidate.
