About Nationalism Studies Program
The Nationalism Studies Program was established at Central European University
by the late Ernst Gellner with the goal of promoting the study of nationalism 
in the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former 
Soviet Union.  The aim of the program is to engage students in an empirical and 
theoretical study of issues of nationalism, self-determination, problems of 
state-formation, ethnic conflict, minority protection and the related theme of 
globalization.  Drawing upon the uniquely supranational milieu of Central 
European University, it encourages a critical and non-sectarian study of 
nationalism.
 
Students are encouraged to engage in an interdisciplinary study of nationalism, 
a subject that is inherently and fundamentally interdisciplinary. For this 
reason, the international teaching staff has been assembled to represent a wide 
range of disciplinary expertise relevant to the study of nationalism including 
history, social theory, economics, legal studies, sociology, anthropology, 
international relations and political science. The program offers a wide 
selection of courses that provide a complex theoretical grounding in problems 
associated with nationhood and nationalism combined with advanced training in 
the methodology of applied social science. Additional courses focus on placing 
problems of nationalism in the context of economic and political transition as 
well as constitution building in post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe with a 
comparative outlook on regime transitions outside the region.
