RATTI LUCA
(syllabus)
The course aims to introduce undergraduate students in languages and communication and languages and cultures to the main historical and analytical approaches to the history of international relations between the 19th and 21st centuries. More specifically, the course will review the main historical and theoretical debates about the evolution of the international system from the crisis of the Concert of Europe in the late 19th century until the formation, evolution, and crisis of the World Concert at the dawn of the 21st century. Particular emphasis will be placed on the dynamics of the bipolar system during the Cold War and to the endeavours to establish a new international order after the end of the East-West division until the re-emergence of a sustained competition among great powers.
