This course explores politics and society in Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. While the course programme is mostly focused on the contemporary period, it will also touch upon historic period of the Russian Empire and the USSR. Key themes of the course are: existing conceptualisations of the region; state building and state fragility; Russian/Soviet legacies; ethnicity, nationhood, nation building and nationalism; (ethnic) conflict and conflict resolution; role of gender, family, religion, formal and informal networks and institutions in state-society relations; good governance and democracy promotion, its effect on the political regimes and its limitations; regional integration projects, key factors and possible integration formats. The course will help students to acquire knowledge on the nature of state, politics and society in Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine, and develop critical thinking on variations in and drivers of political, economic, social and cultural transformations in this part of the world. This course is designed as a joint online course between HSE and JLU Giessen (Germany).
