Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
In this module, students will explore the rise of internationalism as a political idea in the ‘long’ nineteenth century and how it influenced political movements. This will not be limited to the history of the idea alone but will also include the fascinating biographies of activists, the international networks of political movements and the establishment of international organisations, such as the League of Nations. Students will engage with a relatively new and burgeoning field of historical research that combines international and local histories and uses different theoretical approaches. It will challenge some of the established assumptions about modern history and its dominant national frameworks. The module will be delivered as a series of workshops, which will combine short lectures with group work and student-led presentations.
