While the main framework for the course is sociology, it is envisaged as an interdisciplinary endeavour. It highlights the interaction between globalisation and nationalism as two important social forces of contemporary world. It touches on implications of globalisation for the nation-state, national identity, national sovereignty, etc, but also terrorism. The course will encourage the students to critically reflect on the context of current debates about national identity and globalisation, as well as equip them with a confidence to discuss the most pressing socio-political problems of today.
