Description

Explores how normative political theory interprets nationalism, nationhood and ethnicity. Examines in sequence three clusters of theories that inform most contemporary political debates on nationalism: Marxism, liberalism and post modernity. The topics studied in all three cases concern nationhood, ethnicity and citizenship, collective rights for minorities and self determination and the nation state.
