Module I-VI, KA, course 7:
Jes Fabricius-Møller: European constitutional monarchies, 1800-2010
Today monarchies seem an oddity to the majority of people who do not live in a kingdom, and most educated people consider the republic the normal way of organizing a modern state. However until 100 years ago, the monarchy was the preferred and in many cases the only way of state formation. Over the course of just 15 years at the beginning of the 20th Century the world map changed significantly. In 1905 France, USA, Switzerland and most of South America were republics. The rest of the world was more or less ruled or colonized by kings or emperors. By 1920 the territory that was ruled by crowned heads of states had been reduced dramatically as China’s emperor, Russia’s Czar, the German and Austrian Kaiser and the Ottoman Sultan had fallen. At that time the monarchies seemed to stand on the brink of extinction. But some European monarchies survived. They are not only living on borrowed time but seem to thrive as they have successfully transformed themselves into constitutional, modern, democratic, open, liberal societies.
In this course we will discuss central issues and problems of constitutional monarchies: How does an archaic and aristocratic phenomenon fit into a modern, democratic society? What does a constitutional monarch actually do? What if the monarch is incompetent? How is a non-elected head-of-state legitimized? How do royals present themselves to the public? What is the role of the media? Why are royal families so popular?
The course will also introduce the history of the monarchy in Europe and present theories that can be applied to the study of monarchies. Emphasis will be on Northern Europe, Britain, Scandinavia and Germany, but other countries can be taken into consideration as we go along.
