Università Roma Tre

This course aims to offer students a deeper knowledge of the main issues surrounding international politics, while also providing them with the tools necessary to analyze these issues. It introduces the main ideas, theories and concepts of international relations which have evolved during and since the end of the Cold War. To build on this core knowledge, key issues and themes in international politics are analyzed with a focus on patterns and phenomena which are characterizing the current international order and its transformation. Furthermore, students are encouraged to reflect independently on these theories by focusing on their own research for the mid-term paper on diverse geographic areas and periods of time.
