Nationalism, Religion and Violence in SE Europe
Summary of course
The International Hellenic University (www.ihu.gr), in partnership with Charles
University of Prague, Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) of Cyprus and
with the support of the LSEE - Research on South Eastern Europe is offering
a 2-week intensive Summer School for Students of Political Science, History,
Anthropology, Sociology, International Relations, International Law, Journalism
and other related disciplines. The course can be taken by both undergraduates
and graduate students.
The general theme of the summer school is Nationalism, Religion and Violence
in SE Europe. A key goal of the summer school is to contribute in a substantial
way to the study of violence and to catalyse the growth of the study of violence
as a field. Furthermore, participants will have the opportunity to forge valuable
connections with one another and with senior scholars working on various
aspects of violence.
Structure of the Programme
General structure
The summer school will focus on five different but interconnected themes:
• Genocide, Ethnic Cleansing and Mass Atrocities
• Political Violence: Legacies and Debates
• Religion and politics: Islam, Judaism and Christianity between tolerance
and conflict
• National Self-Imagining in the Era of Globalisation
• Institutional accommodation of nationalism, religion and political violence
