Autumn/Spring semester
This course will focus on historical, sociological and social psychological determinants of the formation of ethnic and national identities and conflicts in the Carpathian Basin. The course is based on a database from a cross-national sociological survey that had been carried out in 3 different countries of the region between 1997 and 2000. The Carpathian Project provides a comparative analysis of the reciprocal attitudes of Hungarians and Slovaks in Slovakia, Hungarians and Romanians in Romania, and Slovaks and Hungarians in Hungary. A huge quantity of data obtained through standard questionnaires enables us to study the ethnicity - minority – nationality issue in depth, and to re-evaluate the findings of our prior ethno-psychological research.
