Title: Empire and Nation in Theory and Practice: The Middle East and Eurasia
Description: Course examines the rise of nations from the demise of Eurasian empires in the twentieth century. Students study a range of nationalisms and then apply them to the historical record using cases drawn from Ottoman, Russian, and occasionally Austro-Hungarian history. Origins of nationalism and nature of imperial rule are among the topics discussed, the nationalizing policies of several post-imperial regimes are compared, and the question of whether nationalism is central or epiphenomenal is revisited.
