Been putting in the hours recently - so been pretty much braindead when returning to the my laptop - so the blog has gone down in the priorities. I have decided to go for the nationalism question. Firstly because it is one of the questions asking for an argument to be constructed rather than a historical narrative, which is something I prefer, although I would like to undertake the latter on this course at some point. The subject matter is quite universal, meaning that the work I do now will provide a solid background and foundation for the rest of the course. I have been reading about Arab nationalism and Zionism, and I will be doing further Middle East studies. The other questions don't necessarily have this, since all politics and international relations can be considered through the nationalism prism, genocide for example is not a concept linked to all states, as is Fascism or Empire - directly at least.
After being daunted by the size of the subject, I am slowly narrowing things down. I have discovered some valuable texts that cover the essay question well. In particular as regards zionism and also Arab nationalism.
