Die „Prager Vorträge“ der Prager Außenstellen des Collegium Carolinum und des Deutschen Historischen Instituts Warschau, sowie der Deutsch-Tschechischen Plattform GWZO Prag FLÚ wenden sich in erster Linie an tschechische Fachhistorikerinnen und -historiker. Sie sollen helfen, einen Begegnungs- und Kommunikationsort (nicht nur) zwischen tschechischen und deutschen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern zu bilden.
Darüber hinaus bieten die Vorträge auch geschichtliche Informationen und Anregungen für eine breitere interessierte Öffentlichkeit. Auf Grundlage neuer Ansätze und Forschungsthemen mit entweder regionalem, europäischem oder globalem Bezug bildet die Veranstaltungsreihe ein fortlaufendes Diskussionsforum. Alle Interessierten sind herzlich willkommen.

Armenian Merchant Networks and Long Distance Trade Between Early Modern Poland-Lithuania, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, and Russia.
The globalizing of trade and the spread of merchant networks were important features of the early modern world. For a long time, the phenomenon was studied through prism of the trans-Atlantic trade and the East-India joint-stock companies. The current project approaches Eastern Europe and the Middle East not as a periphery of the West but as self-sufficient region without clearly defined roles of “dominant” and “subordinate. The great deal of the long-distance trade in the region was done by stateless diasporas – Armenian, Greek, and Jewish. Armenian trading diaspora was particularly successful since it operated in the whole region. The current project focuses on the formal and informal conditions of the caravan trade between early modern Poland-Lithuania, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, and Russia. The aim is to analyse Armenian merchant networks on the three-dimensional level – as operating long-distance trade (logistics and legal infrastructure), consolidating the “network of trust and credit” inside the diaspora, and establishing “protection network” with the holders of power
