Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The course will examine two proximate geographical regions: the Black Sea and the Caucasus and their interaction with each other. The focus will be on the Environmental History of the Black Sea and Caucasus regions including those who dwelled around sea and mountains and those who moved across both as warriors, traders, migrants and refugees.

 

The degree to which the ‘Black Sea’ was a closed lake during the Ottoman period, the Black Sea and the Caucasus as a source of contestation between Empires, the Black Sea and then the Caucasus as loci for imperial trade-globalization, questions of transport, the development of port and inland cities, the Greek communities of the Black Sea and the Caucasus will be examined. The course will serve as a bridge between environmental, political and economic histories with questions of geography and movement always at the centre of attention.

 

The course will be open to students with an interest in both history and culture and also politics and economics. It is open to all students, and Erasmus students are particularly welcome.
