Declining or Waning

The exploration of the economic systems during the early modern period appears to be less prominent, as recent publications have gravitated towards cultural and legal studies. - Focus on Religious History:
Although religious influences remain a theme, specific studies concentrating on the detailed historical development of religious practices have decreased, indicating a possible shift towards broader cultural discussions. - Narrow Localized Studies:
