Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The research seminar deals with the value and the importance, but also the problems of islands in the process of globalization. In the past fifty years and reinforced in recent times islands have repeatedly been the subject of political conflicts (e.g. South China Sea, Caribbean). Also the climate change provokes a lot of new problems, especially for islands, which are only some meters over the sea level. The seminar will have a close look at these cases from a historical point of view.
