Description

The aim of this course is to analyse the concepts of nation, nationalism and national identity and, in particular, their relationship to political power and democracy. The course takes an interdisciplinary approach, examining explanatory and normative literature from sociology, social psychology, history and political science. The course will be structured around specific concepts and theories, rather than case studies. However, students are expected to apply these concepts and theories to actual cases from the region, allowing them to develop a specialised understanding of the political power of nationalism in Central and Eastern Europe, and the post-Soviet space.
