Università Roma Tre

Il corso si concentra sugli aspetti più importanti che la sicurezza ha assunto nel sistema internazionale dalla fine della seconda guerra mondiale. Nell'adottare un approccio storico, il corso intende offrire agli studenti una panoramica e una disamina di un processo che è insieme effetto e propulsore di un paradigma di azione politica. La fine della seconda guerra mondiale è stata selezionata come il punto di partenza dell'analisi soprattutto perché essa costituisce l'avvio dell'era degli studi sulla sicurezza negli Stati uniti e nel mondo occidentale.

Il corso è impartito in lingua inglese.
