Imagined Communities: Objective Modernity vs. Subjective Antiquity
Join us for the recording of our 3rd educational webinar from the series "Peace and Conflict in the 21st Century," which took place on Thursday, May 16 at 20:00 South Caucasus Time.
What defines a nation and its main ideology, (ethno-) nationalism? How did these objectively modern concepts come to dominate our imagination, often assuming an ancient or innate quality? Are civic and ethnic nationalism fundamentally different, or are they two sides of the same coin? Why has it been so difficult to challenge the hegemony of ethno-nationalism in politics?

Mirkamran Huseynli: PhD researcher at the Department of Political Science at Vytautas Magnus University and Visiting PhD Fellow at the Centre for East European Studies at the University of Zurich.
Philip Gamaghelyan:Assistant Professor at the Kroc School of Peace Studies at the University of San Diego and Editor at Caucasus Edition.
Moderator: Lala Darchinova: PhD researcher at the European University Institute and Editor at Caucasus Edition.
