Since the French revolution, nationalism has become one of the leading forces in European politics and culture. It has progressively transformed all European states and societies into nation states and national societies. The core of the nationalist project lies at the intersection of two claims - the claim to self-government of a people and the claim to its distinct national identity. This course explores these two claims and delves deeper into historical conditions and the transformation of current European multiculturalism.
