Starts week 41, 2026

The course deals with two central research fields: 1) the research field on political integration and regionalisation processes, and 2) the research field on nationalism, secession and struggle for independence. Each of these two research fields is mapped, and the connections between them are discussed. The student is also taught how to identify and formulate a research problem in relation to the research fields with adequate methods related to these.
