Providing a thorough theoretical and methodological grounding, our program will help you develop a critical understanding of nationalism, as well as hands-on, transferable skills. It offers a complex approach to the study of nationalism and minority protection, subsumed under the general heading of political science with involvement of history, sociology, legal studies and anthropology as subfields.

The program aims to shape the next generation of scholars, public officials and activists, endow them with rich empirical knowledge, and sensitize them to a non-sectarian, open and critical perspective on nationhood, nationalism and minority protection.
Study your passion
A comparative, theoretically grounded and empirically well-informed curriculum will sensitize you to the bewildering complexities of issues of nationalism, ethnic relations and minority protection both in global and local contexts. More concretely, you will get a full year's immersion in questions of citizenship, migration, statelessness, multiculturalism, racism, xenophobia, the refugee problem within and outside the European Union. Special attention will be devoted to those mechanisms and institutions within the European Union that are devoted to handle national and ethnic diversity such as processes of regionalization and power sharing, the mechanisms of the OSCE and the developments related to the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. Beyond the relevant scholarship, graduates of the program will exit with a firm knowledge of the political, legal and institutional frameworks available for dealing with issues of ethnic relations and minority protection.
Courses include:
1. Debates About Self-determination and External Minority Protection in the Twentieth Century
2. Nationalism, National Identity, National Feeling: The Sociological and Socio-psychological Approach
3. Nationalism and Political Theory
4. Constitutional Design and Conflict
5. Law and Ethnicity
6. Anthropological Approaches to Ethnicity, Racism and Nationalism
7. Interpretations of Modern Anti-semitism
8. The Ottoman Empire and the Post-colonial Debate
9. Sociological Approaches to Race and Ethnicity
10. Interpreting Contemporary Nationalism in Southeastern Europe
Spark your career
Students trained in the program will be prepared for employment in supranational organizations, such as the offices and institutions of the European Union, OSCE, in international and domestic foundations for the protection of minorities, for employment in domestic public administration, local governments and in NGOs as well as for employment in the private sector, especially within the media and public survey institutions.
