The troubled relationship between political power and ethnonationalism is a central issue of the modern world. The course analyzes how states across the globe have tamed, or have failed to tame, the sociopolitical processes fueled by national and ethnic identities. Covers topics including the emergence of varied forms of nationalism, nationalism and state power, the significance of national homelands, the impact of ethnic mixing and diasporas, interethnic conflict, the cultural politics of nationalism, and nationalism and relations among neighboring states. RES concentrators may focus their papers on Russia and other Eurasian states, but students from any other concentration are welcome and may tailor their papers to their own regional interests. <a href="http://bit.ly/1bebp5s" target="_blank">Click here to see evaluations, syllabi, and faculty bios</a>
