Overview Overview
 

This course introduces students to the causes, nature and consequences of ethnic conflict in Europe and the wider world. It aims to familiarize students with the theoretical debates surrounding ethnicity and nationalism in the contemporary world and moves from the general to the particular by introducing a series of case studies which emphasise the importance played by ethnicity in divided societies. Students will thus get the opportunity to compare and test the applicability of different theories of ethnic conflict against ‘real world’ cases where division has produced inter-ethnic contestation, confrontation and violence. Key case studies to be considered may include: Bosnia , Kosovo , Rwanda , Sri Lanka , and the Basque Country.
