Dersin İçeriği There is hardly a thing that shapes our presence as history does. This applies in particular to the era of Modern European Colonialism and Imperialism or “New Imperialism” in the 19th and 20th centuries: the successful project of mostly Western European industrialized states of territorial acquisitions overseas by conquest and of other forms of subjugation, driven by the pursuit for resources and markets, impelled by rivalries among these powers and underpinned by the ideology of a “civilizing mission”. This era of economic and political domination of almost the entire globe by these powers involved massive effects on the economic, political, cultural, social and intellectual life of the societies both colonized and colonizers. Thus, colonialism is of crucial importance for the making of the modern world. This course is a critical survey on the history of and research about modern European Colonialism and Imperialism of 19th and 20th centuries. The seminar will first introduce terms, concepts and theoretical reflections about Colonialism and Imperialism. The second part will explore general characteristics of Colonialism/Imperialism as well as ideologies, practices, and debates involved. In a third part we will discuss the impact of Imperialism to the development of ideas on the course of human history. The last part is dedicated to recent reflections and debates on the effects and aftermath of Colonialism/Imperialism.

Ders Kaynakları
Kaynaklar Academic ethics Ibn Haldun University expects and values academic ethics and personal integrity. Any forms of academic misconduct as cheating on quizzes and exams, plagiarism, fabrication, reuse of assignments, submission of papers written by others as one´s own, whether received for free or purchased from any source will be treated as serious offences and cause you to flunk at least that exam, if not the whole course. Every assignment, response paper or essay that you submit as part of your section work should be an original piece of writing, presenting your own ideas in your own words unless otherwise noted. You are free to use sources outside of the course materials as long as you reference them. Everything you borrow from books, articles, visual materials, the internet (including those in the syllabus or the course web site) or any other source should be properly cited. Copying-and-pasting is absolutely taboo. Please note that all your submissions will be checked for plagiarism wit
Ders Notları Basis of Assessment
? Regular Attendance, well-preparedness, and active participation 30%
? Presentation 20%
Each student is responsible for at least one presentation of not less than 20 minutes, plus 20-25 minutes for Q & A. Depending on the number of participants this could also be a group work. The subject matters and dates will be determined in the opening session. Please note that the presentation should not simply summarize the day's readings but provide the class on the one hand with information either on historical developments or incidents, intellectual contexts or an author's work. On the other hand, it should stimulate class discussion with respect to the day's topic and readings.
? Mit-term exam 15%
? Final paper 35%
This is an individual essay of not less than 10 double-spaced pages in length (12-point font; page count does not include bibliography) on a course-relevant topic of your choice. In order to help you to develop your paper, you should prepare a two to four pages research proposal on the topic you want to deal with. This proposal should include a clear but short elaboration of the main issue of the essay, its significance and relation to the course material, your working-steps and sources.

Readings
The class requires comprehensive readings and vivid discussion of a number of recent works as well as of classical texts. Most of the texts will be available for download from Canvas. In some cases, you will find links to online platforms and databases with direct access to the respective texts.
Class schedule
It goes without saying that this schedule may be altered as we proceed through the class, or due to the number of participants. I also reserve the right to add additional readings.
