Political culture has been resurgent in the post-Cold War world as a significant bond for communities, as well as a potential source of conflict. This course will consider in what ways culture brings people together and in what ways it can divide them. Specific topics may include sub-national identities, ethnic conflict, separatism, civilizational identities, democratic cultures, language rights, and experiences in multi-culturalism, drawing on specific case study comparisons depending on the expertise of the professor.
