Title: Empires and Nation-States: The Eastern Mediterranean, 1900-1950
Description: This course examines the political and social transformation of the eastern Mediterranean from Istanbul to Alexandria during the transition from the Ottoman Empire to contemporary nation-states. Its first major concern is with the relationships between different forms of imperialism and nationalism, and between these ideologies and the societies they sought to control. Its second is with the way in which state authority expanded and intensified throughout the region in this period, under empires and nation-states alike, and how that affected politics and society. Coverage is thematic, not chronological, and the perspective is comparative.
