300099 Nations and Nationalism in the Global World of the 21st Century (S) (SoSe 2017)
Contents, comment
-
This is a course on the causes and the effects of nationalism. Today the question is if we experience a "new nationalism"? See for example the lead article of the economist: http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21710249-his-call-put-america-first-donald-trump-latest-recruit-dangerous . "Make America Great Again" or "Brexit" are one of the most prominent examples and we will discuss and assess the importance of these "new" developments more in detail. The first half of the course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the most prominent explanations of the emergence of nationalism across the world in order to answer the question: What is so new about the new nationalism? In the second half of the course, we will focus on the effects of nationalism with a specific focus on migration and citizenship: Who is a legitimate member of the nation?
