Degree Course: International Studies
A.Y. 2023/2024
Conoscenza e capacità di comprensione
Il CdLM in 'International Studies' ha come scopo la formazione di specialisti in grado di comprendere approfonditamente e analizzare criticamente i sistemi politici, le relazioni che intercorrono tra essi, le aree e le ragioni delle tensioni e dei conflitti, le modalità delle risoluzioni di tali conflitti, il ruolo delle organizzazioni internazionali sul piano politico ed economico, l'evoluzione giuridico-normativa a livello internazionale e, soprattutto, le linee di tendenza dei processi di globalizzazione sul piano politico, economico e dello sviluppo, culturale e ambientale.
La conoscenza avanzata e approfondita dota il laureato magistrale di un profilo allo stesso tempo professionale e flessibile con capacità di raccogliere e interpretare i dati che lo mettono nelle condizioni di saper organizzare e gestire progetti, di applicare le proprie conoscenze e competenze per l'analisi e la risoluzione di problemi nuovi, come pure di sviluppare quelle capacità, che a partire dalle conoscenze e competenze acquisite, siano in grado di essere messe a frutto nei contesti culturali più diversi, anche in situazioni di crisi.
Le modalità di verifica del raggiungimento di un buon livello di preparazione e di capacità di comprensione, oltre agli esami tradizionali, prevedono vari strumenti intermedi (elaborazione di documenti di carattere internazionale, capacità di analisi critica e prove applicative come produzione di elaborati teorici o tecnici), programmati durante i semestri.Capacità di applicare conoscenza e comprensione
L'approccio interdisciplinare e l'approfondimento di più aree geopolitiche contribuiscono ad ampliare competenze e conoscenze e permettono di sviluppare capacità di comprensione e abilità analitiche utili a risolvere problemi che sorgono nei contesti lavorativi in cui le laureate e i laureati magistrali si troveranno a operare in qualità di funzionari e analisti politici (dalla carriera diplomatica alle organizzazioni internazionali; dalle carriera militare e della polizia alle organizzazioni non governative; dalle direzioni strategiche di uffici delle grandi imprese private che operano in ambito internazionale agli uffici internazionali delle strutture pubbliche sia a livello locale che nazionale).
Per il raggiungimento degli obiettivi suddetti si farà ricorso a una didattica articolata su più piani con il coinvolgimento diretto degli studenti (lezioni frontali, seminari, workshop, tirocini e stage).Autonomia di giudizio
La laureata o il laureato magistrale, grazie alle sue conoscenze e competenze, viene messo in grado di formulare giudizi, includendo la riflessione sulle responsabilità sociali ed etiche collegate all'applicazione dei loro studi e progetti.
L'autonomia di giudizio sviluppata facilita l'integrazione delle conoscenze e permette di gestire la complessità, anche per approssimazioni successive, privilegiando la ricerca di soluzioni condivise, ma senza rimozioni dei problemi sottesi.
Le competenze acquisite e l'autonomia di giudizio inoltre sostengono l'attitudine a sviluppare idee originali e ad applicare soluzioni non omologate necessarie a operare in contesti caratterizzati da una forte dinamicità e interdipendenza delle variabili anche sulla base di informazioni limitate o incomplete.
La pratica di discussione collettiva dei risultati progettuali, prevista dal corso,aiuterà a rafforzare con il confronto l'autonomia di giudizio dei laureati.Abilità comunicative
Le laureate e i laureati magistrali saranno in grado di comunicare informazioni, idee, problemi e soluzioni a interlocutori specialisti e non specialisti; di presentare in modo chiaro e persuasivo le conclusioni e le conseguenti implicazioni applicative dei loro progetti, ricerche, studi, motivandole in modo aperto a una loro migliore definizione anche in fase operativa.
Le abilità comunicative acquisite sostengono inoltre competenze e capacità di mediazione e negoziazione ai fini del conseguimento del miglior risultato possibile nei contesti in cui si trovano a operare.
Sul versante della comunicazione scritta e verbale, il CdLM si affida:
- alla richiesta, avanzata da quasi tutti i corsi teorici e nei laboratori, di presentazioni scritte (tesine, ricerche, curricula ragionati e critici delle proprie attività, ecc.), intese come elementi essenziali per la valutazione dei risultati specifici e delle abilità comunicative;
- all'utilizzazione generalizzata, soprattutto nella sede dei laboratori progettuali (in itinere ed all'esame), di articolate e complete presentazioni pubbliche orali (con o senza supporti informatici).
A tal fine sono di fondamentale importanza le abilità informatiche alle quali gli studenti sono sollecitati nella preparazione delle relazioni e dei materiali da condividere in classe con i colleghi.
Dovranno sviluppare quindi elevate computer skills e competenza nell'uso dei social media.
Sarà inoltre particolarmente utile l'attività del Laboratorio di Sociologia e di ricerca sociale.Capacità di apprendimento
Il presente CdLM si attende che, alla fine del loro percorso, le laureate e i laureati abbiano sviluppato capacità di apprendimento e abilità progettuali tali da permettere loro un costante aggiornamento e un reale progresso conoscitivo, al fine di svolgere attività di ricerca di dati e di fonti, di organizzazione, di database, anche in modo indipendente.
Modalità e strumenti con cui i risultati attesi sono conseguiti e verificati:
• esercitazioni scritte e orali in aula;
• preparazione di progetti e paper sugli argomenti principali dei diversi corsi;
• verifica reciproca tra studenti dei risultati raggiunti;
• discussione in classe di tali risultati sotto la guida del docente;
• preparazione di documenti (grafici, tabelle e rapporti) esplicativi del percorso compiuto

Prova finale
La prova finale consiste nella discussione della tesi di laurea nell'ambito di uno dei settori scientifico-disciplinari presenti nell'ordinamento del CdLM per cui siano previsti insegnamenti nell'offerta programmata ed erogata e che siano stati sostenuti dalla laureanda o dal laureando.
La tesi di laurea è basata su un elaborato scritto, eventualmente coadiuvato da una presentazione in PowerPointi o multimediale.
L'elaborato deve essere redatto in modo originale dalla candidata o dal candidato sotto la guida di una relatrice o di un relatore.
Il lavoro preparatorio per la redazione dell'elaborato di tesi è da intendersi strettamente connesso, oltre che al percorso di studio personalizzato che la studentessa o lo studente ha seguito, anche alle attività seminariali, di stage e di orientamento al lavoro svolte durante il percorso formativo.
Tale impostazione è sia in linea con la rilevanza data alla prova finale in termini di CFU, che con l'importanza che l'elaborato e la discussione della tesi ricoprono nel facilitare l'inserimento della laureata e del laureato nel mondo del lavoro.
La tesi di laurea deve essere redatta in lingua inglese.
La prova finale deve riflettere, sia nella struttura dell'elaborato (introduzione, articolazione in capitoli, conclusione) che nella sua veste formale (norme di edizione, indici, tabelle, grafici, figure, apparati di note, bibliografia), le conoscenze e le capacità di comprensione e di applicazione, i contributi originali alla ricerca (con riferimento alla letteratura scientifica di riferimento del tema prescelto nelle aree disciplinari di competenza del corso di laurea magistrale), le abilità comunicative e le capacità di apprendimento della candidata o del candidato.
Alla prova finale sono attribuiti 18 CFU e la lingua in cui la laureanda o il laureando deve svolgere la discussione della tesi è l'inglese.
Orientamento in ingresso
Il Collegio Didattico svolge una funzione di orientamento per le laureate e per i laureandi, nonché per le laureande e i laureanti che intendono immatricolarsi ai tre CdLM di classe LM-52, attraverso un'efficace e attenta comunicazione sul sito istituzionale e sui canali social del Dipartimento.
Il Collegio Didattico organizza almeno due volte l'anno open day per familiarizzare le studentesse e gli studenti interessati con l'offerta didattica dei tre CdLM di classe LM-52 e con le strutture di cui il Dipartimento è dotato (biblioteca, sale lettura, laboratori, aule per attività studentesche).
In occasione dell'inizio di ogni nuovo anno accademico, a ottobre, il Collegio Didattico organizza un welcome day per accogliere le immatricolate e gli immatricolati con un saluto del coordinatore e l'incontro di benvenuto con alcuni docenti dei tre CdLM, nonché i delegati con varie cariche, tra cui vicario e delega per i rapporti internazionali.
Inoltre, durante tutto l'anno, la Segreteria del Collegio Didattico, di concerto con i docenti tutor e coadiuvata dalle studentesse e dagli studenti tutor, fornisce informazioni riguardo alle modalità di accesso e ai requisiti minimi di accesso ai tre CdLM di classe LM-52, al fine di orientare le studentesse e gli studenti interessati all'immatricolazione e non in possesso di tutti i requisiti richiesti, su come integrare tali lacune attraverso la frequenza di corsi singoli di recupero, al fine di contenere il fenomeno dell'inattività degli immatricolati nel primo semestre, impegnati nello studio delle materie di recupero.
Il ricevimento della Segreteria si avvale anche delle moderne tecnologie come la piattaforma Teams, in dotazione all'Ateneo.
Orientarsi a Roma Tre nel 2021 si è svolta in modalità telematica ed è stato realizzato un portale per l’orientamento molto accattivante: orientamento.uniroma3.it.
Rappresenta la manifestazione che riassume le annuali attività di orientamento in ingresso e si svolge ogni anno alla fine dell’anno accademico.
L’evento accoglie, perlopiù, studenti romani che partecipano per mettere definitivamente a fuoco la loro scelta universitaria.
Durante la manifestazione viene presentata l’offerta formativa e sono presenti, con un proprio spazio, tutti i principali servizi di Roma Tre, le segreterie didattiche e la segreteria studenti.
Inoltre il Collegio Didattico ha organizzato il 28 aprile 2022 un Open Day online e in presenza per la presentazione del CdLM, con un nutrito numero di partecipanti.
I servizi di orientamento online messi a disposizione dei futuri studenti e studentesse sono nel tempo aumentati, tenendo conto dello sviluppo delle nuove opportunità di comunicazione tramite web.
Inoltre, durante tutte le manifestazioni di presentazione dell’offerta formativa, sono illustrati quei siti web di Dipartimento, di Ateneo, Portale dello studente, etc., che possono aiutare le studentesse e gli studenti nella loro scelta.
Infine, l’Ateneo valuta, di volta in volta, l’opportunità di partecipare ad ulteriori occasioni di orientamento in presenza ovvero online (Salone dello studente ed altre iniziative).
Il Corso di Studio in breve
Il Corso di Laurea Magistrale in 'International Studies' è un biennio interamente in lingua inglese.
Le principali aree di studio sono: Politica Internazionale, Relazioni Internazionali, Macroeconomia Internazionale, Diritto Internazionale dello Sviluppo, Storia della Politica Internazionale Contemporanea, Teoria dei Diritti Umani.
Il MA in 'Internazional Studies' offre la possibilità di studiare lingue come l'arabo, il russo e il cinese.
Il progetto si avvale della collaborazione di docenti con decenni di esperienza nelle aree sopra indicate e numerose collaborazioni con istituti di ricerca e università straniere.
Il MA in 'International Studies' si concentra sulla formazione di giovani professionisti nella diplomazia, nelle organizzazioni ed enti internazionali.
Altri sbocchi lavorativi sono le multinazionali e le organizzazioni attive nel settore della cooperazione e dello sviluppo.
Interamente insegnato in lingua inglese e strutturato sulla base di un confronto continuo tanto con i docenti che con gli esperti esterni, che è fondato su un formato internazionale con una didattica innovativa, che offre alle studentesse e agli studenti l'approccio a metodi e tematiche fondamentali per la formazione in ambito internazionale.
Appartiene alla stessa Classe del Corso di Laurea Magistrale in 'Relazioni Internazionali' già attivo, in lingua italiana, ma presenta un'offerta del tutto innovativa per metodologia didattica e finalità formative.
L'importanza di un approccio che presenti una forte coerenza fra profili in uscita e le relative funzioni e competenze e i risultati di apprendimento attesi è stata peraltro già verificata con le parti interessate.
Come già dimostrato dall'esperimento del percorso di laurea su cui si basa, è particolarmente attraente per studentesse e studenti italiani e stranieri, grazie al fatto di essere interamente in lingua inglese e all'impostazione della didattica.
Si rivolge a coloro che intendono perseguire una carriera in organizzazioni internazionali e/o nella diplomazia e operatività italiana nel mondo.
In particolare, le laureate e i laureati nel CdLM in 'International Studies' avranno competenze in:
- teoria e storia delle relazioni internazionali, teoria dei diritti umani e delle relazioni culturali;
- diritto internazionale nei settori dello sviluppo, del peace-keeping e della cooperazione;
- elementi essenziali dei modelli economici internazionali e dei processi di globalizzazione;
- avranno inoltre completa padronanza della lingua inglese, in particolar modo mirata all'uso in ambito politico internazionale e di un'altra lingua tra le più utilizzate in ambito internazionale, come spagnolo, francese, cinese o arabo.
Lo studente espliciterà le proprie scelte al momento della presentazione,
tramite il sistema informativo di ateneo, del piano di completamento o del piano di studio individuale,
secondo quanto stabilito dal regolamento didattico del corso di studio.

THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD IN THE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES
(objectives)
The 20th century has been labeled as "the American century," while the beginning of the 21st is identified as a time of decline for the United States. Is American governance still functioning within and what weight does the United States carry on a global level? The course provides an analysis of the emergence of the country as a world power throughout the 20th century, up to the presidency of Obama, within the framework of the new methodological approach of transnational history. The exceptionalist model no longer applies and American history is in need of revision. Students will therefore deal with the major issues of domestic policy while analyzing the new role the United States has come to play in the past few decades globally. The goal of the course is to provide students both with a general methodology for the study of the United States in a global sphere and an understanding of American politics and society in the past century.

INTERNATIONAL HISTORY OF PEACE
(objectives)
For centuries mankind has longed for peace and for peaceful solutions to conflicts, but only in the last centuries peace has been perceived as an achievable political aim: this way the idea of war abolition has become conceivable; associations devoted to peace (and pacifism as a sort of peace party) emerged, along with the development of international organizations aimed at banning war and promoting peace-keeping operations. The course gives a historical introduction to the peace issue as one of the nodal points in contemporary politics up to the beginning of the 21st Century. It is devoted to the international history of peace ideas, peace movements, and peace institutions.

THEORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS
(objectives)
Not without difficulties, various attempts are made to turn human rights into an indispensable point of reference for the evaluation of both the moral and the juridical legitimacy of the global political and economic order. However, unresolved theoretical issues regarding the justification and conceptualization of human rights challenge our comprehension of the matter. The course belongs to the disciplinary domain of political philosophy. Its general purpose is twofold: on the one hand, it sheds light on the ongoing philosophical debates on the unresolved theoretical issues surrounding the notion of human rights; on the other hand, it provides knowledge of how contemporary political philosophy deals with human rights. In particular, the course seeks to secure understanding of the ties between human rights, social justice, and liberal-democracy through the “theory of recognition” by Axel Honneth and the critical revision of “political liberalism” by Alessandro Ferrara. During the course, students will be required to read texts, discuss their content, and develop personal opinions as a means to critically exercise their learning and communication skills.

INTERNATIONAL POLITICS
(objectives)
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.

THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM AFTER THE END OF THE COLD WAR
(objectives)
The recent history of the international system is undoubtedly marked by the end of bi-polarism, which has been regarded as the single most important event in the second half of the 20th century. This “transformational moment”, however, is questioned by a number of historiographical approaches emphasizing the importance of long term trends to understand a number of current events. The course will investigate the evolution of international relations since the end of the cold war by comparing these explicative paradigms. On the one hand, it will look at some of the most distinctive features of the post Cold War era, inlcuding the crises of the 1990s, the emergence of the United States as a hegemonic power, and the consequences of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and of the 2003 Iraq war on the American ability to preserve its supremacy. On the other, it will discuss different conceptual and chronological frameworks to present the evolution of the international system from more complex perspectives, by looking at long term phenomena such as the return of China to a great power role or the discontinuity introduced in the international system by the Neo-liberal approach since the 1970s.

EVOLVING SECURITY IN THE POST 1945 WORLD
(objectives)
The course aims to define and elaborate on the concept of military security as it developed after the Second World War. The time span is determined by the ineluctable revolution that the discovery and use of nuclear weapons ushered both in terms of military doctrine and of power politics. Starting with a reflection on the reasons of the early failure of collective security, the course will first focus on the crucial hallmarks of security in a bipolar international system, making a clear distinction between States included in, and excluded from, a multilateral alliance. It will then take into consideration the major challenges posed to military security by newly emerging threats as the former was consolidating after the end of the Cold War.
