The four main themes of this course are answers to the question, "What makes Europe distinctive compared with other parts of the world?"
  • 1. The Nation State. The idea of the State or sovereign authority takes on a new significance when it is attached to a nation or a people who have an idea of a common origin and identity. This idea was developed first and most powerfully in Europe.
  • 2. Citizenship. When a nation is made up of citizens, they feel a greater commitment to the community.
  • 3. The Scientific Method. This enables one to ask questions about the universe and the nature of human beings, and to obtain answers that work well in practice.
  • 4. Developed Broadly Based Public Finance. The idea that government can mobilize the wealth of a whole people.
