The aim of this seminar is to expose the historical process of nationalization in the European context. We're also asking for a situation in which Europe as a post-national space is located, what kind of identity Europe offers to its citizens.
Students will get an idea about the causes, nature and consequences of the process of nationalization of Europe. Further: how is the legitimacy of the modern nation-state derived. National-state functions, structure and elites, and last but not least, the crisis of the modern nation-state and attempts to overcome it. |
