HIST 603 Nationalism and Ethnic Policies of Multinational States (0.50) SEMCourse ID: 012549
The course explores the concept of nationalism and the responses of multiethnic states to nationalist challenge. Students will examine theories of nationalism and discuss its creative and destructive potential. Pursuit of national self-determination led to the birth of new states and the disintegration of old ones: ethnic tensions were another product of nationalism. Different types of states have addressed ethnic problems in different ways: some have sought to maintain harmonious multicultural communities: others have preferred to assimilate or segregate minorities; yet others have engaged in ethnic cleansing. We will trace the roots of nationalism and the consequences of its rise, and we will also discuss the impact of state system on the ethnic policy.

HIST 604 Theory and Practice of Insurgency and Counterinsurgency: Historical and Comtemporary Issues (0.50) SEMCourse ID: 001561
This seminar offers a comparative analysis of insurgency and counterinsurgency from the 19th century to the present. It examines resistance to foreign invaders in Europe, the century of rebellion in Mexico in 1810-1917, anti-colonial wars of national liberation, Marxist revolutionary movements in South-East Asia and Latin America, the upsurge of Islamic fundamentalism and urban guerrilla warfare. The course will focus on the sources of insurgencies, their nature and the support they drew from various social groups. In each case, the government's response will also be investigated. We will analyse theories of guerrilla thinkers and pacification models and pay particular attention to the gap between intended and actual policies, and the plight of civilians caught in crossfire.
