Common Challenges of Competing Regionalisms

Course is divided into six issue specific blocks with multiple video lectures and various e-learning material in each. The course will focus on the multifaceted nature of regionalism in different geo-territorial and geo-political contexts in Europe and Eurasia and on its conceptual and theoretical definition by looking at the relevant cleavages in contemporary societies and at the fluid and ever-changing nature of inter- and intra-state interaction and supranational/intergovernmental trends of integration. Historical and institutional comparative perspectives will allow participants to practically assess the developments in the European and Eurasian regions and to investigate their impact on specific case studies.
