Topics in Comparative Politics
Nationalism and Diversity
Themes
This course seeks to provide students with an understanding of the phenomenon of nationalism and the main approaches used to study it. The course will begin by outlining the rise of the ideology of nationalism and its importance for the modern state and society. The focus will then shift to the variety of ways in which the homogenizing thrust of nationalism has clashed with the reality of ethnic and cultural diversity. Students will have an opportunity to explore issues as varied as ethnic cleansing and multiculturalism, in contexts as different as India, the European Union and Latin America.
