Section Title:
Ethnicity, Relgion & Nat State
Section Info:
Topic: Ethnicity, Religion, and the Nation State: Identity Politics in Comparative Perspective. This seminar offers a thorough introduction to the concept of identity in political psychology, political economics, and political science. Students will be introduced to a number of different approaches to the study of identity and identity politics including primordialism, constructivism, social psychology, and political economy. These broader conceptions will then be applied to the discussion of different identities -- ethnic, religious, and national -- including how they are defined, measured, and observed. In the final weeks of the course, we will turn our attention to empirical analysis of the politics of identity, considering identity first as the outcome of political processes, then as a key independent variable in explanations of conflict, voting, and the provision of public goods.
