BAHIS3003 Empires and Revolutions
This advanced level course explores the themes of imperialism, resistance and revolution in world history. We will examine what is meant by the terms, empire, imperialism and revolution and will explore how legitimately we can applies these terms in interpreting the past across diverse cultures, political systems and contexts. We will explore differing models of imperialism and patterns of resistance to imperial control across case studies from the ancient world to the colonial era and their legacies today. The issues which lead to revolution and rebellion, and the features which contribute to their relative success or failure and aftermath, will be explored through these case studies and historical contexts.
