MA in History of Society

Nation-states generate various perspectives on the course of history, influencing the way they enter the world s political stage. In the master History of Society (specialisation Global History and International Relations) at Erasmus University Rotterdam you will investigate how and why people, regions, nations, or empires behave like they do. By studying the development of different global histories you learn to understand how history is often a cultural, religious, social or political narrative created to legitimize nation states, conflicts, cultural identities or world domination.
