            Historical Sociology is a unique Study Programme that, in the Czech Republic, can be studi

            Faculty of the Humanities, Charles University. The aim of this programme is to advance res
            and pedagogical training of experts focusing on issues of long-term social processes and t
            a significant impact on the life of contemporary societies. These include, in particular, 

            modernization and social change, globalization tendencies and impacts, integration and dis
            processes, continuity and discontinuity relationships, religious and cultural pluralism, i
            of global and local, identification of chances and risks of social development, analysis o

            situations and possibilities of overcoming them. The need to understand all these issues r
            requirements for the development of adequate theoretical and methodological approaches as 
            university education. The aim of the Study Programme is to provide such special training, 

            contribute to the advancement of research activity in the given field.

            Historical sociology cannot be understood merely as a hybrid link of history and sociology

            discipline based on the assumption that its general subject is historical, space-time dete
            reality. Acceptance of this assumption has consequences for both the theory of this discip
            its research strategies, since both should be oriented not only on the analysis of the pre

            the near and more distant past. Therefore, in accordance with this premise, historical soc
            defined as a special historical or sociological discipline, but as a specific, interdiscip
            theoretical and methodological perspective, which is relevant both for the area of basic r

            for specialized research programmes. It is a discipline that focuses significantly on long
            processes as well as on the analysis of the differences and similarities of social phenome
            historical periods. The thematic direction of the Study Programme is illustratively brough

            Historical sociology is close to both a sociology discipline as well historical sciences; 
            of common or similar concepts, theoretical orientations, methodological approaches and res
            but it is not – neither in case of sociology or history – simply transferable. It is not s

            joining of two disciplines, but a specific research perspective and a specific Study Progr
            Study Programme in Historical Sociology is designed to provide high quality and demanding 
            to those who want to pursue a qualified scientific and research work – in particular of an

            comparative nature - in one of the areas that contemporary historical sociology deals with
