The main characteristic of the course is the unique worldview in which these countries are studied, which goes far beyond national borders. The breadth of the target area, the sheer number of the target population and the diversity of political, economical, linguistic and cultural systems considered makes this course more than 'just' one of the nine Area Studies programs offered by this department. Students are expected to acquire a perspective that can both appreciate one country in great depth and understand its relations with neighbouring countries and areas.
