- Abstract
The period between the French Revolution and the first pan-European revolution of 1848-1849 foreshadowed the whole series of political, social-economic, and spiritual changes that shaped the profile of modern Europe as a pluralist reality, dominated by nation-states governed on the basis of a legitimacy rooted in a political transfiguration of the nationality principle. The driving force behind the challenges to the institutional infrastructure of the regimes restored in the wake of the Congress of Vienna--also aimed at the whole range of economic policies and at the social exclusivism that prevented the development of exchanges--was the modern nation, the community that came to continue the medieval ethnic solidarity and complete it with new ethnic, political and civic dimensions. I f over the long term the society's readiness to manage public affairs led to the emergence of representative regimes and to economic liberalization, the dissemination of the identity discourse shaped by the national elites of Central Europe triggered disputes that eventually caused the two world wars of the 20* century.
