Course content

This course gives an overview of the important social, economic and political processes within Norwegian and International history from ca 1750 up to the 21st century. An important goal is to emphasise the linkage between Norwegian and international history, as well as to highlight the different perspectives in the historiography. The course starts with the Enlightenment and the major upheavals in the 18th century, and takes up other themes like the industrial revolution, nationalism in Europe, European expansion and imperialism. Other important themes are the great wars, upheavals and human catastrophes of the first half of the 20th century, the political and economic developments in the inter-war years, the Cold War, and trans-national projects (like the European integration), decolonisation, the liberation of women, and economic and cultural globalisation. Above all, the course will highlight the ways in which international trends and events influence developments in Norway.
