|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Course Description | The course refines the students’ training in political science and international relations through the analytical exploration of minority politics with a focus on European developments. That is mainly because the emergence and subsequent evolution of minority rights cannot be separated from the modern European political history. The two World Wars in particular have marked the evolution of European states and of their understanding of ethnic, linguistic and religious minorities. As a result, Europe represents nowadays a space where inter-ethnic politics has become highly complex, with international organisations such as the Council of Europe, OSCE and the EU being deeply involved. The students are expected to (1) read the assignments, (2) participate in seminars (3) present individual research projects, and (4) write analytical essays on the individual research projects (IRPs). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
