Requirements for participation, required level

The course provides an overview of the classical theories of nationalism, pairing the theoretical texts with case studies. Nationalism theories intersect with various fields of study, such as sociology, political science, history, philosophy, and economics. Therefore, a thorough understanding of theories of nationalism provides interdisciplinary insights into how national identities function, evolve, and interact with each other and with other types of identities.

The goal of the course is to familiarize students with the primordialist, ethnosymbolist, and modernist approaches, as well as their burgeoning criticisms.

No previous knowledge of nationalism theories is necessary.
