SoSe 13: Disintegrating States, Creating States: 19th and 20th Century Global Perspectives
Hannes Grandits
Comments
How do states and societies disintegrate? How do new states emerge? Are there any patterns that we can discern in the successive waves of state creation in the last two centuries? What is the relationship between international norms and local societal conflicts? These questions will be at the core of this multi-disciplinary seminar aimed at bringing a global perspective to the analysis of the ever changing configuration of the international order of territorial states. The course will offer students a theoretically grounded case study selection that will illustrate the complexity of the process of state creation and the way the local and the universal interact in a globalising world. The seminar will follow a chronological structure that will seek to incorporate the narratives of different regional "peripheries" to challenge the established "Eurocentric" models of state creation explanation in which the "nation state" is an integral part of attaining a successful "modernity". close
