What makes the eastern half of Europe distinct? East Central Europe and the Balkans have long been seen as the “other” owing to their long decades under imperial rule and communism, and their post-communist experience of ethnic conflict and state disintegration. In this course, we will consider the factors that have shaped the contemporary politics and international relations of this fascinating region. We will cover topics such as communist legacies, post-communist democratization, nationalism and ethnic conflict, European Union enlargement, and current challenges such as populism and illiberal Russian influence. In addition to scholarly articles and books, we will engage with films from the region. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: POLI 008 PO .
