Course Summary
The course aims to examine major modes of explaining nationalism, and to relate nationalism to other key themes in sociology. It begins by examining key concepts, theories and typologies of nationalism, with particular attention focused on the distinction among ethnic, civic and civil nationalisms. Thereafter the course seeks to explore the relationship between nationalism and other social and political processes, such as language, religion, class, gender, conflict regulation and globalization. Throughout an attempt is made to use substantive case material to inform an understanding of nationalism. Recommended Reading: Hutchinson, J and M. Guibernau (eds.)
