    This seminar is an introduction to current debates in gender history. It briefly discusses the – if you will – “classic” binary histories of Soviet men and women, yet aims at incorporating fresh research on queer histories and asks primarily how classic histories could be queered as well. For language reasons we will focus on visual sources and ask whether and how the Soviet Union was open to other forms of gender representation. We will also discuss sexuality and bodies, questions of reproduction, contraception and illness. Among others, the peculiarities of the Soviet discourse on HIV will be examined (AIDS was not considered a “gay disease”, unlike in the West). With the approaching of the end of the term we will discuss methodologies and theories of visual history as the aim for the seminar paper is to deliver a source interpretation of your own. This seminar is reading intensive. Every week at least two texts will be read. For half of the meetings the submission of response papers is expected.

    This seminar examines the historical processes of border-making in Eastern Europe from the early modern period until the early 20th century. Focusing primarily on the interactions between the Habsburg, Russian, Ottoman, and Persian Empires, it investigates how imperial authorities conceptualized, demarcated, negotiated, and contested territorial boundaries - often through diplomacy, cartography, ecological intervention, or legal tools of property. The course also pays close attention to the local populations who inhabited these zones of ambiguity and flux, exploring how they navigated shifting sovereignties and developed forms of agency, resistance or accommodation. The seminar engages with a rich body of theoretical literature on frontiers, drawing from political geography, historical anthropology, and critical border studies. Through this lens, students will critically assess how imperial regimes used borders both as tools of governance and as mechanisms to shape identities.

    Sozialistische Städte sind uniform und unwirtlich, monoton und grau. Ihre Architektur befördert die Atomisierung der Gesellschaft und zerstört den öffentlichen Raum als Grundlage demokratischer und freiheitlicher Strukturen. So weit das Klischee, das dieses Seminar in Frage stellen möchte. In einem Rundgang durch die Städte und Siedlungen des Sozialismus von Eisenhüttenstadt bis Taschkent, von Vilnius bis Baku wollen wir uns mit den Utopien und Visionen, den Plänen und Praktiken, den Straßen und Plätzen, dem Erbauen und dem Erbe der sozialistischen Stadt von ihren Anfängen im 19. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart auseinandersetzen. Welche Ideen und Prinzipien prägten die Stadtplanung? Wo und in welcher Form kam es zu ideologischen und sozialen Konflikten? Und wie prägt das architektonische Erbe die Gesellschaften bis heute? Das sind nur einige der Fragen, die wir gemeinsam erkunden wollen. Wir lesen Romane, schauen Filme, betrachten Pläne, durchstreifen Siedlungen und rekonstruieren historische Debatten. Am Beispiel der Stadtplanung wollen wir so Einblicke in die Verfasstheit der sozialistischen und postsozialistischen Gesellschaften Osteuropas erlangen und fragen, wie die großen historischen Transformationen ihren Niederschlag im Stadtbild gefunden haben.

    Authoritarian regimes employ political violence at various levels, ranging from threats to repressions. The goal of this course is to investigate the reasons behind political repressions in authoritarian regimes and analyze their consequences for society and the durability of the regime. Special attention will be given to the strategies used to legitimize political repressions. Additionally, the course will cover topics such as the role of repressions and co-optations as pillars of regime stability, electoral violence, and the dynamics between repressions and protests.

    This is a class taught jointly with the Hebrew University Jerusalem. Our focus is to provide an interdisciplinary perspective on how war and empire were reflected in the Soviet cinema and in the post-Soviet one. Most of our sessions consist of discussion of movies we are going to watch in advance, as well as debates on how they could be interested from the political science and from the humanities perspective. Due to the international nature of the class, it will be taught entirely online. Discussions of the Russian and Soviet perspectives will be augmented by a comparative analysis of the cinema from other authoritarian regimes (in particular, the Third Reich). The participation requirement for the class includes watching all movies selected by the organizers and intensive discussion of their content.

    This seminar studies authoritarian political systems by focusing on their decision-making strategies and mechanisms and the role of legislation in maintaining control. Drawing from political science, law theory, political history and sociology, participants will analyze how autocratic regimes utilize bureaucratic machinery and legislative changes to enforce policies and suppress dissent. To understand that, basic theories of political systems as decision-making and decision-implementation mechanisms will be explored. Essential to the course is the understanding of the agent-principal theory, commonly applied in administrative and policy studies to analyze situations where the agent may have incentives that differ from those of the principal, leading to potential conflicts of interest or agency problems. Institutions in non-democracies will be studied from the structural functionalist approach. Additionally, the course will explore bureaucratic history, the concept of the authoritarian international and its implications for post-Soviet spaces.

    The goal of the course is to give an analysis of development assistance priorities of Russia and ex-Soviet countries. The course will be focused on the evolution of the concept of development cooperation and its role in promoting the economic and political interests of a state. In the class we’ll explore the phenomenon of (re)emerging donors; economic and political priorities of development aid policies; the role of Russia in multilateral organizations; Russia’s policy in the post-Soviet area and participation of business in development cooperation programs; ex-Soviet countries as an area of cooperation and competition of donors in Central Asia. A special attention will be given to the contemporary assistance to Ukraine.

    This seminar examines state repression as one of several strategies of political control used to shape public opinion, enforce compliance, and ensure regime stability. Adopting a comparative approach, the course traces the historical emergence, underlying logic, consequences, and long-term legacies of tools such as political violence, indoctrination, and propaganda. We begin by defining core concepts and exploring how states have expanded and deepened their power over time. Next, we analyze the use of political violence, legal authority, surveillance systems, emergency powers, and policing to maintain order and subdue political challenges. We then turn to media control and censorship, education and propaganda as instruments of indoctrination, and the mechanics of political persuasion, with a particular focus on authoritarian contexts. Finally, we investigate how social movements might challenge entrenched authority and examine the interplay between violent repression and societal resistance. To attain a certificate of participation, students have to submit one response paper (at least 1500 words) – individually or in pairs – on a weekly topic.

    Die Transformation der postkommunistischen Gesellschaften in den 1990er Jahren ist durch die im internationalen Vergleich einzigartige gleichzeitige Einführung von Kapitalismus und Demokratie gekennzeichnet. Trotz einer vermeintlich ähnlichen Ausgangslage sind die Ergebnisse dieser Transformation in Mittel- und Osteuropa höchst unterschiedlich und können - so die zentrale These des Seminars - das Erstarken rechtspopulistischer Kräfte in der Region erklären. Das bei näherer Betrachtung divergierende historische Erbe, die Rolle von Eliten und Gegeneliten sowie der Einfluss externer transnationaler Akteure sollen daher näher beleuchtet werden. Das Seminar vermittelt einen breiten Überblick über zentrale Konzepte, Kontroversen und Befunde zur Transformation der mittel- und osteuropäischen Länder, die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede dieses Prozesses und seiner Ergebnisse beleuchten. Im Seminar werden wir Entwicklungen der letzten 25 Jahre diskutieren, von den Auswirkungen des unterschiedlichen kommunistischen Erbes, dem Fehlen einer Mittelschicht und der Bildung von Oligarchen in Russland, der postkommunistischen Mortalitätskrise und Überlebensstrategien bis hin zur „Ostalgie“ und dem Aufstieg politischer Kräfte wie Viktor Orbans Fidesz und der polnischen Partei Recht und Gerechtigkeit.

    The class discusses the debate over competing socio-economic development models and the claim that there is a ‘new Cold War’ dividing the West from Russia and China and catching much of Eastern Europe, the Southern Caucasus, and Central Asia in a struggle between these power centers. The class focuses on the competing energy and transport infrastructure projects developing from the Caspian to the Black Sea and their implications for ‘green transition’ and other developmental plans; how the European Union engages with Moldova, Ukraine, and the Southern Caucasian and Central Asian countries; the ‘weaponization’ of trade routes and energy infrastructure following Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine; and Eastern European strategic infrastructural initiatives such as the Three Seas Initiatives. The goal of the class is to familiarize students with a grand current debate and encourage them to develop their own research interests.

    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).

    Comments

    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).

    Das Seminar Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten hat eine doppelte Funktion. Es soll auf der einen Seite Studierenden beim Finden einer Fragestellung für ihre Masterarbeit unterstützen und führt sie an das Verfassen eines Exposés heran. Dabei werden die Grundlagen des Verfassens einer umfangreicheren wissenschaftlichen Arbeit vertieft und einzelne methodische Aspekte wiederholt. Gleichzeitig dient es als Kolloquium, auf dem Promovenden, Gastwissenschaftler*innen und Dozent*innen ihre Forschungsarbeiten vorstellen. Auf diesen beiden Wegen werden die Studierenden mit der Forschungspraxis vertraut gemacht und ermutigt, eigene Themen zu entwickeln. Das Seminar vermittelt wichtige Kenntnisse, wie man eine größere wissenschaftliche Arbeit aufbaut und wie Fragen und Thesen in den Sozialwissenschaften formuliert werden. Es wiederholt zudem Grundkenntnisse über qualitativen Methoden der Soziologie. Die Teilnahme dient der Vorbereitung der Masterarbeit. Sie schließt im Idealfall mit der Verteidigung des Exposés oder zumindest mit dem Vorstellen einer ersten Ideenskizze ab. Im zweiten Fall erfolgt die Verteidigung am Anfang des darauffolgenden Semesters.
