Biography
Robert Stein is Senior University Lecturer at the Leiden University Institute for History.
Research Project
Culture of accountability in the late-medieval Southern and Northern Netherlands
My project investigates the process of isomorphism leading to a shared appreciation of financial accountability in the Southern and Northern Netherlands. I will examine the roots, the geographical and social distribution and adaptation of accountability during the crucial period of the Late Middle Ages, especially focusing on its financial aspects.
