Università Roma Tre

The History of Conflicts and Cultural Diplomacy course aims to explore the role of culture in the context of international relations, especially in situations of crisis, tensions and wars. The main purpose is to provide students with the analytical tools useful for understanding the different characteristics assumed by war, based both on the evolution of military policy and conflict management, and on the different forms of propaganda, promotion of one's image to the abroad, public and cultural diplomacy. At the center of the investigation will therefore be the relationship between hard power and soft power starting from the nineteenth century up to the present day. A part of the course will be dedicated to a specific case study that next year will concern Italy between the two world wars.
