Comments
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.
