The Politics & International Affairs Unit of the ATINER will hold A Panel on “Teaching and Researching Nationalism in a Global World” as part of the 15th Annual International Conference on Politics, 12-15 June 2017, Athens, Greece sponsored by the Athens Journal of Social Sciences.
Ever since it appeared as a political movement in the 19th century nationalism has been one of the main dynamics that shaped the world. That is why there has been many studies that try to understand and explain this phenomena. A turning point for these studies was the collapse of the Soviet Union and the ethnic conflicts that followed. This was also the time that globalisation had become the widespread discourse and it was expected that the global world would also be a cosmopolitan one. But this expectation did not come true and on the contrary with each economic and political crises of the global world nationalism and nationalist politics rose, most of the time along with xenophobia. The panel on “Teaching and Researching Nationalism in a Global World” calls for papers focusing on the role and impact of nationalism in a global world. The aim of the panel is to define the contemporary problems caused by nationalism and explore the ways in which teaching and researching nationalism can help overcome and avoid these problems.
