European Geopolitics 1555-1763 - Prof Brendan Simms
The course will show how some of the themes which dominate international politics today have their roots in the old European balance of power as it evolved into the global system we know today: the German question, British exceptionalism, colonialism, maritime versus continental hegemony, the Muslim threat, conditional sovereignty, the Rise of Russia, slavery, and humanitarian intervention. Each seminar will involve the discussion of primary sources as well as secondary literature.
