Università Roma Tre

The programme covers theoretical and practical aspects of international security. The approach combines theoretical debate with the analysis of the main processes and policies underway in the global and regional frameworks. It emphasises the sub-regional context in which Argentina is framed and the development of Argentina's international security and non-proliferation policies. The working methodology includes approaches as close as possible to professional practice. In particular, emphasis is placed on the causes of war and peace, the functions of military strategy, and the interaction between political ends and military means. Within this framework, problems and issues of debate in international relations theory; systemic theories and the current international system; national sources of foreign policy and theories of decision-making; transnational forces, balance of power and alliances will be addressed. Theoretical strands related to conflict and cooperation will also be examined. The empirical focus will be on the problems of cooperation in peace and security, both between friendly and adversarial countries including, for example, political alliances, negotiation, peacekeeping, etc..
