Nationalism and the State in the Global South
Course Number:
5PIRS001W
Course Description:
This module re-examines the concepts, debates and issues of state and nationalism through case studies from the Global South. Rather than teaching the ‘unique’ culture, history of regions different from the West the purpose of the module is to critically reflect on how their experience of some of the most vexing political problems of our times forces us to re-think received knowledge from mainstream political theory and IR. Each lecture/seminar will be led by an expert on the regions under examination. At the end of this module students should be able to explain political debates, concepts, themes by drawing on case studies from the Global South. Thus, embellishing their theoretical knowledge with the strong empirical foundation in the complex, multi-faceted and dynamic context of the Global South.
