Recent publications emphasize memory studies, particularly regarding historical traumas such as the Holocaust and World War II, and their lasting effects on European societies. - Environmental History and Climate Change:
Emerging themes in environmental history are gaining attention, examining the interplay between environmental changes and historical developments, particularly in the context of European industrialization. - Cultural Politics and Identity Formation:

The integration of digital humanities into historical research is becoming more prominent, with scholars exploring new methodologies for analyzing historical data and narratives.
Declining or Waning
- Economic Nationalism and Financial Crises:
Research focusing on economic nationalism and financial crises has seen a decline, possibly due to a shift towards more immediate socio-political issues and less emphasis on historical economic analyses. - Colonial Legacies and Post-colonial Studies:
Although still relevant, the volume of publications addressing colonial legacies and post-colonial studies has decreased, as newer themes related to migration and integration gain traction. - Military History and Warfare:
While military history remains a vital area, its specific focus on traditional narratives of warfare is less prevalent, with a growing preference for social histories that contextualize military events within broader societal impacts. - Historical Gender Studies:
The exploration of gender within historical contexts is present but appears to be less emphasized in recent publications compared to the rise of intersectional studies that encompass a broader range of identities and experiences.
