The "integration of Europe" is, among other things, a huge ideological undertaking. Part of that undertaking entails the appropriation of history for the political project of building a "European Union." One aspect of that appropriation of history is the rooting of Europe as a political community in historical times & places where Europe as such did not exist. Popular among such ideological constructs is presentation of the Carolingian Empire as the predecessor of contemporary, united Europe. By analyzing early medieval usages of the word Europe, the author argues that it is unwarranted to speak of any clear "idea of Europe," in the Carolingian period or, in turn, to portray the Carolingian Empire as the "first Europe" & a potential model for today's "integration of Europe.".

The great restructuring of power in the Christian West at the beginning of the second millennium did not change the meaning of the notion of Europe as inherited from the previous two centuries. Rather, it brought forth new concepts to describe the unity of Western Christians, thus marginalizing "Europe" as a potential bearer of collective identity. Foremost among those new unitary concepts was Christendom -- a concept closely linked with the rise of the papal monarchy & the launching of the First Crusade as the pope's own war. By analyzing 11th-century sources & literature connected with the First Crusade, the author shows that the term Europe -- used merely in its geographical sense or in connection with the ancient myth of Europa & the legend of Japheth -- had little relevance for the practical & spiritual concerns of that age.

Monografija Rdeče nasilje predstavlja prvo obsežno zgodovinsko študijo s celovitim pregledom nasilja, ki ga je komunistična oblast v Sloveniji po letu 1945 izvajala nad svojimi dejanskimi in domnevnimi nasprotniki. V njej avtor obravnava tiste oblike represije, ki so predstavljale najhujše kršitve temeljnih človekovih pravic in svoboščin. Kot takšne oblike nasilja so v okviru posameznih poglavij obravnavani množični izvensodni poboji, ustanavljanje koncentracijskih in delovnih taborišč za nasprotnike komunističnega režima, mnošični izgoni prebivalstva, nasilne razlastitve premoženja, politični in zrežirani sodni procesi proti takoimenovanim notranjim sovražnikom, zatiranje vere in nasilje nad posameznimi verskimi skupnostmi ter njenimi duhovniki in redovniki. Poglavju o povojnih političnih sodnih procesih je dodano če posebno poglavje o političnih obsojencih in političnih zapornikih.
