Abstract: English Revolutions, Dutch Revolutions and the European Tradition of Constitutionalism. From History 5: European Civilization from the Renaissance to the Present - Fall 07. A survey of Europe from the Renaissance to the present. An introduction to European history from around 1500 to the present. The central questions that it addresses are how and why Europe--a small, relatively poor, and politically fragmented place--became the motor of globalization and a world civilization in its own right. Put differently how did "western" become an adjective that, for better and often for worse, stands in place of "modern." Our approach will be broadly cultural, and we will consider politics, economics, society, religion, and other aspects of life as interconnected arenas in which men and women give their world meaning.
