"The Nationalism Studies Program
has the privilege of being hosted by very competent and well-educated
faculty. Professors have the ability to inspire students not only
to read more but also to grasp the big picture of the nationalism
problem and go very deep into the discourse. This I have had the
chance to experience myself during my MA studies at the Program.
The analytical, communication and research skills that I mastered
there have helped me better understand the problems of the Balkan
region and the significance of the nationalism issue here. In my
opinion, the program should stay independent from umbrella departments
and interdisciplinary in character because its main "subject"
is also interdisciplinary and cannot be limited to only one area
of study. Students have to learn to understand the whole range of
different shades and appearances of nationalism. Currently I work
for an advertising agency and you cannot imagine how often I go
back to my Art and Nation and other nationalism courses at CEU and
implement strategies derived from course discussions, readings and
papers."
Nationalism and National Feeling: Sociological
Approach (core course) The course will concentrate on the most influential economic, sociological and social-psychological theories of nationalism, national identity, national feeling and national conflict. After a general introduction in the sociology and social-psychology of attitudes stereotyping, prejudice and identity, Professor Kovács’s lectures will deal with the theories of ethnic and national stereotypes, identities and conflicts as group conflicts. The seminars will introduce the students into the methods of empirical investigation of the subject.
Debates About Self-Determination and External Minority
Protection in the 20th Century (core course) This course will concentrate on problems of self-determination and minority protection. We will examine various theories of self-determination, the extent and actual content of self-determination rights, the extent to which self-determination is regarded as a legal right, and current initiatives to extend and redefine self-determination rights as benefitting minorities, too. This course will examine issues that remain hotly debated to our day. The course will not attempt to provide "answers" to the debated issues, but will look at the polemical arguments advanced on opposite sides. Where possible, readings are selected to introduce students to the debates. The readings are selected to provide a historical account of experiments with self-determination and international minority protection as well as a cross section of the relevant literature on contemporary debates within various disciplines.
"The Nationalism Studies Program
contained all the ingredients of a course that I would pursue at
the Central European University in Budapest. Having graduated from
Oxford University in England, I had offers to continue my studies
with an M.Phil. in Political Science. Although my primary academic
interest lies in that field, I preferred my graduate studies to
leave the opportunity for practical orientation open. I targeted
interdisciplinarity not for its own sake, but because it best fitted
my ideal subject matter and the future jobs I envisaged for myself." Nationalism and Political Theory (core course) The course intends to approach the topic of Nationalism from the perspective of Political Theory. After more history oriented viewpoints, the course will focus on different concepts contemporary political theory is using - like modernization, totalitarianism, democracy, transformation. The aspect of multi-level and cross-cutting identities will be discussed as well as the impact of recent trends in international relations - especially the question of the declining role of the nation state under the auspices of globalization. The focus will be especially on the following questions:
Can Western Models of Minority
Rights Be Applied in Eastern Europe? (core course) Several countries in Eastern and Central Europe are under significant pressure from the West to improve their minority rights record. Indeed, both the European Union and NATO have declared that respect for minority rights will be one of the criteria used in deciding whether to admit countries from Eastern and Central Europe. Various declarations and conventions have recently been adopted which seek to codify minimum standards and/or `best practices' regarding minority rights. These declarations and conventions are often implicitly based on Western models or assumptions about how to manage ethnic relations. Many critics argue that these models and assumptions will not work in the Eastern European context. Indeed, some critics argue that they do not always work well in the West, and that there is a double-standard involved in imposing standards on Eastern Europe that are not always respected in the West. In this course, we will examine these debates about exporting Western models of minority rights to post-communist Europe. We will begin by considering the actual practices of Western democracies, including various forms of language rights, territorial autonomy and multiculturalism. We will then consider a range of objections which have been raised to the adoption of these Western-style practices in post-Communist Europe. We will conclude with an examination of the strategies adopted by Western organizations, particularly the OSCE, in promoting minority rights in the region.
"The sensitivity of the topic
and its continuous presence on the agenda of the relevant international
fora necessitates an interdisciplinary approach allowing for the
provision of an academic view that considers all the scientific
aspects on an up-to-date basis. The independent and interdisciplinary
character of the program was the core element in my personal academic
formation, decisive in comprising my views on the various aspects
of this topic of key-importance. Constitutional Design and Conflict In recent decades, constitution-making has become a much more international and comparative exercise than it was previously, with the result that democratizing or redemocratizing countries are more open to a wide range of institutions than they were previously. The seminar deals with many of the most common issues confronted by constitutional designers. In addition to such specific questions, however, it considers three overarching issues: (1) What are the sources of constitutional change, and what governs the choice of designers when they borrow institutions from abroad? (2) Are such institutions able to have a benign effect on ethnic and religious conflict? (3) What determines whether apt designs can in fact be adopted and by what mode they will be adopted? This course will give consideration to these issues.
Anthropological Approaches to Ethnicity, Racism
and Nationalism – with special reference to Roms and Romany
peoples The aim of this course is to explore how anthropological methods have been applied and with what success in the study of ethnic, racial and national conflicts and movements. The course will both introduce you to methodologically outstanding attempts to operationalise the theoretical models you have met earlier on in this degree (Gellner, Anderson, Smith et al.) and make you familiar with a specifically anthropological discussion of notions of culture, identity and society. The course is deliberately eclectic in regional foci, though there is a recurring interest in the experience of South-eastern Europe and one whole section of the course deals with the experience of Roms and Gypsies across our continent.
"Few months after finishing
my year in this program (2003/2004), I started to the Ph.D. program
in Bogazici University, the Ataturk Institute for Modern Turkish
History. I have also been working in Istanbul Bilgi University,
Department of International Relations, doing the teaching assistantship
for "Turkish Politics" and "International Relations
and Nationalism" courses. The course is focusing on the interrelationship between
law and ethnicity. It addresses the question whether law should
or should not take into consideration ethnicity. Issues which are
dealt with include identity and equality, and the distinction between
group-sensitive and group-neutral rights. Among those rights which
are of a group-sensitive nature, several class hours are devoted
to language rights focusing on the legal setting of linguistic diversity.
Language rights are investigated in several environments, like courts,
the market, education, culture.
Israel: Nation-Building, Political Development.
War and Peace This course aims at a comprehensive overview of the main issues which have determined Israel’s political and ideological development. The intellectual and political origins of Zionism and Israel will be traced in the context of 19th and 20th century European nationalism and the crisis and failure of liberalism in Central and Eastern Europe. The structure of the political institutions and political ideological formations in Jewish community in British, pre-1948 Palestine will be presented as the background out of which the political structure and culture of contemporary Israel has emerged. The political map of Israel will be discussed over the period 1948-2002: political parties, state/religion, the status of the Arab minority in Israel, the emergence of Sephardi power and the impact of the recent Russian immigration. The international context of the Arab-Israel conflict will be related to these developments: from Soviet support for Israel in the late 1940"s, through French-British-Israeli alliance in 1956, the growing importance of the American connection in the Cold War and the post-l989 changes. The promise of Oslo and the breakdown of the peace process following Camp David in 2000 and the impact on the Israeli political scene will lead us to the January 2003 elections.
"Looking back at the year
I spent in Nationalism Studies Department, I must underline that
it was the beneficial factor to which I now owe the greatest part
of my present academic development. The interdisciplinary classes
of Nationalism Studies allowed me to switch the focus of my academic
inquiry from Political Science to History, without however abandoning
my former field of study, or in other words, it helped me integrate
my political science background into the historical study. Operating
in an intellectual framework encompassing Sociology, Anthropology,
History, Legal Studies and Political Science, the MA in this Department
has broadened my academic interests, and has provided me with the
theoretical gear necessary to operate within these fields."
The Ottoman Empire and the Post Colonial Debate This is a course which aims at situating the Ottoman Empire in the comparative framework of the post colonialism debate. This means situating the Ottoman Empire in the debates concerning Orientalism, Occidentalism, Subalternity and the theories of domination/subordination. This course will borrow anthropological concepts such as domination and subordination/ dependency and subalterity to look at the late Ottoman polity in comparative perspective with British India and the Russian Empire in the Islamic zones of west/central Asia.
Differentiated citizenship in the European Union The course examines differentiated citizenship
in the context of the European Union and its member states. The
three sources of differentiation that will be discussed are, first,
multinational citizenship that emerges from national minority claims
to autonomy, second transnational citizenship that emerges from
migration, and, third, supranational citizenship that emerges from
political integration of the European Union. The course combines
and contrasts political theories of citizenship with comparative
analyses of citizenship policies in European states and in the institutions
of the EU.
Interpretations of Modern Anti-Semitism The course is to provide students with an overview of psychological, sociological, political and historical theories of modern antisemitism. After considering key concepts such as antijudaism, antisemitism, modern antisemitism it will give an introduction into the most influential scholarly explanations of the investigated subject. The course will concentrate on the theological explanations of the persistence of antisemitic prejudices, the psychoanalytically oriented personality theory, the projective theories of prejudice, the group conflict theories, and the political explanations of antisemitic movements and ideologies. Special attention will be given to the methods of empirical sociological investigation of the subject.
Interpreting Contemporary Nationalism in Southeastern
Europe This course will study the different aspects of nationalism in Southeastern Europe. The interlinkages with the political system and the processes of democratization in the region shall receive particular attention. The course is designed as a 2-credit course with each aspect first being discussed on a theoretical and general level and then illustrated with concrete examples. The examples are drawn from countries in Southeastern Europe, focusing on former Yugoslavia in particular, and attempt to illustrate similarities and differences across the region.
The course takes its departure from that of Michael Stewart on "Anthropological Approaches to Ethnicity, Racism and Nationalism." It is deliberately planned to couple the theories, concepts, methodological assumptions, and empirical investigations of anthropology with the respective building-blocks in the sociology of race, ethnicity, and majority-minority relations. While bridging the two courses in a kind of a sibling-relation, the current program attempts, however, to provide an independent interpretation of the formation of the 'Roma issue' in contemporary postcommunist societies. In other - practical - terms, this course is thus conceived as an independent unit that can be taken without preliminary training in "Anthropological Approaches...", while it aims at offering an interdisciplinary completion for earlier attendants of the latter.
The Protection of National Minorities in Europe:
Standards and Institutions This course looks at the protection of national
minorities in Europe from the Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman and Russian
empires to the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security
and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). It looks at historical, political
and legal reasons why a system of minority rights protection has
evolved since the beginning of the 20th century, and how it works
in practice. Particular emphasis will be put on examining contemporary
standards and institutions for protecting the rights of persons
belonging to national minorities. Case studies will be used to demonstrate
these processes in action. Students will put their knowledge to
the test in a simulation of resolving a minority problem.
Thesis Workshop The purpose of the MA thesis seminar is to provide
a forum for the discussion of your work in progress. The seminar
begins with discussions of potential research topics and methodologies
and continues with discussions of planned theses. In the first semester
all members of the seminar will be requested to submit a two page
preliminary proposal of their thesis topics with a first formulation
of an outline, and a preliminary bibliography.
Thesis Seminar The purpose of the thesis seminar is to do an initial review of MA thesis plans. We will meet weekly as a group to critically discuss individual proposals. Each week we will have two/three presentations of plans. To present a plan, you will need to submit a two page text on your proposal. All proposals must be submitted electronically to Szabolcs by Friday, October 31st. Your proposal should include a description of your project and a tentative outline. Deadline for choosing an advisor: Wednesday, December 10. (We will need a written confirmation from your advisor.). Deadline for choosing a title: same as above. There will be additional deadlines related to the thesis which will be part of the academic writing course.
Academic Writing The goal of this course is to develop your confidence and competence as a writer in an academic context. To this end, we will spend the year cultivating the skills necessary for writing well-organized, logically sound, and rhetorically effective papers. We will work on organizational strategies, stylistic finesse, revision techniques, analysis of source material, and conventions of citation and attribution. We will also focus on grammatical problems with the help of The Bedford Handbook and occasional quizzes.
