He has also published journalism in popular venues such as Foreign Policy and the Los Angeles Review of Books. Bures is a regular presenter at international conferences and was recently invited to give the keynote address at the Global Cultures conference at the University of Bologna on the theme of “crisis” in the modern world. His research focuses on modern German history, interwar fascism and its historical afterlives, and far-right politics generally.
