Árpád von Klimó is currently working on editing the Routledge Handbook of Hungarian History which will provide a new introduction on topics such as environmental history, power structures, economy and society, private life, religion and culture throughout the last millennium. It will be based on the work of 30 historians working in Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States.
His next monograph will be on Soccer. A Global History. In this book, Dr v. Klimó will provide a short introduction into the relationship between the history of Association Football, the roots of the game with its racist and masculinist character in British imperialism, and how it was transformed when it spread over the globe in the course of the 20th and 21st century.
His most recent book, Remembering Cold Days, was published by the University of Pittsburgh Press in 2018. Dr. von Klimó also co-edited The Routledge History of East Central Europe since 1700, with Irina Livezeanu (University of Pittsburgh), published in 2017. An updated and completely revised English edition of his book Hungary since 1945 (Routledge) appeared in 2018.
His latest publications include articles on a transnational historical project focusing on the networks surrounding Cardinal Mindszenty, the head of the Hungarian Catholic Church. This research resulted in two articles, published in Central European History (2021) and in the Catholic Historical Review (2021). Most recently, his article on “The Cult of Our Lady of Fátima—Modern Catholic Devotion in an Age of Nationalism, Colonialism, and Migration“ appeared in 2022 in Religions, an open access journal.
Dr. v. Klimó serves as Associate Editor of the Hungarian Studies Review and book review editor (Late Modern Europe) for the Catholic Historical Review.
