The relationship between Germany and Central Europe has been uneasy, turbulent and complicated for centuries. While the forms of cooperation and conflict kept changing, they were always rooted in geopolitical ideas about how the map of (Central) Europe should be organised. It is around these shared “mental maps” that key political questions are asked. What is Central Europe and what is the best way to govern it? Is Germany part of Central Europe, or rather a distinct entity, perhaps even a rival or enemy? Are Germany and Central Europe integral parts of the West, or do they rather occupy a distinct position? Does the geographical proximity between Germany and Central Europe make everyone more, or less secure? The module will explore some of the most important instalments of such geopolitical thinking in and about Germany and Central Europe from 1848 until the present time, with heavy emphasis on the post-1990 period. Each of the topics will be split between an introductory lecture and a subsequent seminar discussion based on required readings. English will be the working language, no other language skills are required.
