Kommentar

Empires and the Rise of Nations is a course on economics and history with focus on imperial formations and nation-building in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The first part of the course will focus on the economic organization and nationalities structures of the Russian, Ottoman, German and Habsburg Empires as well as their socialist equivalents such as the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, while providing an overview of theories of nationalism and nation-building. The second part of the course will concentrate on comparative cases from Eastern Europe and the Middle East by combining economic, historical and social science advances in the literature and setting the ground for innovating thinking in the contemporary and historical political economy of nationalism. The third part of the course will present the main debates that emerge from the first two parts and will be taken over by students. Strategies and Institutions constitutes an introduction in intermediate game theory with an explicit focus on institutional and political games. Economics/Public Economics students must take both parts of this module to fulfill the School of Business and Economics requirements, while East European/Political Science/IR may take them separately according to their learning and schedule preferences within the School of Political and Social Sciences. Slides, which have been graciously provided by Gérard Roland (UC Berkeley), will be used to facilitate the learning process. The course grade is defined by a final exam/research paper (depending on degree program pursued). Schließen
