Our lectures will mainly introduce modernistic studies on nationalism. Specifically our lectures consists of three parts: In the first part, we will review theoretical frameworks provided by Fichte, Rousseau, E.Gellner, A.D.Smith, B.Anderson and so on. In the second part, we will consider interactions between nationalism and other factors (ex. economy, history, geopolitics, religions etc.). In the third part, we will analyse Chinese nationalism as a study case.
