This unit examines the significance and value of the concept of national identity, and compares it with other constructions, including regional, cultural, religious, ethnic, linguistic, and multinational identity. Through consideration of key theoretical approaches, along with the analysis of a selection of case studies focusing on individual nations, regions, or groups, students will be encouraged to reflect on generic issues in identity politics, and to illustrate these via specific examples of people in different parts of the world, from the early modern period to the present day.
