01
The course
This course examines a number of unresolved issues in Europe that are largely shaped by real and perceived shortcomings in minority rights. After a section on Roma Rights in Central Europe, our focus turns to the origins and outcomes of largely separatist wars in Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Cyprus, Georgia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Moldova and Ukraine and the peace agreements that followed.
