Thank you for your input. Seems like the UK will be very difficult to secure funding from. Do you know of any European unis to check out for this type of PhD program?

"History of political thought with a touch of philosophy, economic history" is the best description I can give of my broad interests. Tracing the origin of ideas, their evolution and proponents, cultural impacts, and even some analysis of the ideas themselves is what I want to do. Particular interest in anarchist, Marxist, socialist and other ideas originating from labor movements in the 19th century. It seems like, given this interest, there are a number of different types of PhD programs I can apply to: history, political theory, political philosophy, intellectual history (in some cases there seem to be standalone programs for this). There might be some overlap in terms of my interests with economic history. I'm not really certain of which of these is most appropriate to apply to. Can someone give me a quick rundown? If you happen to know of particular programs to apply to, even better.
