Degree Course: Global Security Studies: Environment, Energy and Conflicts
A.Y. 2023/2024
Conoscenza e capacità di comprensione
Il Corso di Laurea Magistrale in 'Politiche per la Sicurezza Globale: Ambiente, Energia e Conflitti' ha come scopo la formazione di specialisti in grado di comprendere approfonditamente e analizzare criticamente i sistemi politici, le relazioni che intercorrono tra loro, 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, in particolare per quanto riguarda la gestione delle risorse energetiche.
La conoscenza avanzata e approfondita dota la laureata/il laureato magistrale di un profilo allo stesso tempo professionale e flessibile con capacità di raccogliere e interpretare i dati che lo rende in grado 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 di negoziazione e mediazione dei conflitti.
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 (prove applicative, produzione di elaborati teorici o tecnici, ecc.), programmati durante i semestri, senza che essi si costituiscano come frazioni di esame o diano luogo ad alterazioni o interruzioni del normale ciclo di apprendimento.Capacità di applicare conoscenza e comprensione
L'approccio interdisciplinare e l'approfondimento di più aree geografiche e politiche 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 e uffici studi 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 lezioni frontali, seminari, workshop e stage.Autonomia di giudizio
Le laureate e i laureati in 'Sicurezza Globale.
Ambiente, Energia e Conflitti', grazie alle loro conoscenze e competenze, sono in grado di formulare giudizi e di riflessioni 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.
Per il raggiungimento degli obiettivi suddetti si ricorre a lezioni frontali, seminari, workshop e stage.
Infine, la pratica di discussione collettiva dei risultati progettuali aiuta a rafforzare con il confronto l'autonomia di giudizio.Abilità comunicative
Le laureate e i laureati in 'Sicurezza Globale: Ambiente, Energia e Conflitti' sono 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 Corso di Laurea Magistrale 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 sarà particolarmente utile l'attività del Laboratorio di Sociologia e di Ricerca Sociale e dei workshop di public speaking e comunicazione efficace.Capacità di apprendimento
Alla fine del percorso formativo le laureate e i laureati del CdLM avranno sviluppato capacità di apprendimento spendibili in ambito professionale, abilità progettuali e hanno acquisito competenze aggiornate nelle discipline storico-politologiche, economico-statistiche, giuridiche e linguistico-culturali.
Avranno acquisito, inoltre, la piena padronanza degli strumenti per l'analisi di una vasta gamma di fenomeni sociali, inclusi metodi quantitativi di base, tecniche di ricerca storiografica e giuridica, organizzazione di database.
Modalità e strumenti con cui i risultati attesi sono conseguiti, oltre al superamento degli esami di profitto, la verifica dei risultati di apprendimento attesi si avvale di:
- redazione di saggi brevi;
- presentazione in aula di lavori di approfondimento;
- preparazione di documenti ed elaborazione di dati (grafici, tabelle e rapporti) sugli argomenti trattati a lezione;
- simulazioni

Orientamento in ingresso
Il Collegio Didattico svolge una funzione di orientamento per le laureate e 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.
Il Corso di Studio in breve
Il Corso di Laurea Magistrale in 'Politiche per la Sicurezza Globale: Ambiente, Energia e Conflitti' fornisce le conoscenze e le competenze per l'analisi delle principali sfide alla sicurezza che hanno un impatto sul nostro ambiente socio-politico in rapida evoluzione a livello globale, nazionale e locale.
Il CdLM studia, perciò, le nuove forme di guerra ibrida e cibernetica, il terrorismo, i conflitti identitari, la proliferazione delle armi di distruzione di massa, le pandemie, le migrazioni, le crisi energetiche e i cambiamenti climatici.
Il CdLM è articolato in due percorsi: il primo dedicato a 'Conflitti e Sicurezza nel Mondo Globale'; il secondo ad 'Ambiente, Energia e Sicurezza Internazionale'.
Il primo percorso è dedicato all'analisi dei conflitti a livello di politica internazionale, nazionale e locale.
Attraverso un approccio multidisciplinare, il percorso è volto a spiegare le cause, le dinamiche e le conseguenze dei conflitti e individuare le prospettive sulla loro gestione istituzionale e non-istituzionale.
Il secondo percorso offre un'approfondita preparazione interdisciplinare sui temi della politica internazionale che riguardano le sfide ambientali globali, le politiche dell'energia, lo sviluppo sostenibile e le questioni della sicurezza.
Il CdLM appartiene alla classe LM-52 delle 'Relazioni Internazionali', pertanto i principali ambiti disciplinari sono: scienza politica, storia, studi di area, sociologia, economia e diritto.
Lo studio a livello avanzato di almeno una lingua straniera è obbligatorio, inoltre alcune discipline sono impartite in lingua inglese.
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.

THEORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS
(objectives)
Today human rights are the dominant moral doctrine for evaluating the moral status of the contemporary geo-political order. In the 20th century a broad consensus has emerged on framing judgment of nations against an international moral code prescribing certain benefits and treatment for all humans. Within many nations, political debates rage over the denial or abuse of human rights. Legal documents to protect human rights have proliferated. The course examines the philosophical basis and content of the doctrine of human rights. It assesses the contemporary significance of human rights, charts the historical development of the concept of human rights, beginning with a discussion of the earliest philosophical origins of the bases of human rights and culminating in some of most recent developments in their codification. It analyses also the formal and substantive distinctions philosophers have drawn between various forms and categories of human rights, the justifications of their claims, and the main criticism currently addressed to them.

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.

THEORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS
(objectives)
Today human rights are the dominant moral doctrine for evaluating the moral status of the contemporary geo-political order. In the 20th century a broad consensus has emerged on framing judgment of nations against an international moral code prescribing certain benefits and treatment for all humans. Within many nations, political debates rage over the denial or abuse of human rights. Legal documents to protect human rights have proliferated. The course examines the philosophical basis and content of the doctrine of human rights. It assesses the contemporary significance of human rights, charts the historical development of the concept of human rights, beginning with a discussion of the earliest philosophical origins of the bases of human rights and culminating in some of most recent developments in their codification. It analyses also the formal and substantive distinctions philosophers have drawn between various forms and categories of human rights, the justifications of their claims, and the main criticism currently addressed to them.

GEOPOLITICS, TRANSPORTATION, AND LOGISTICS
(objectives)
The course provides both theoretical and practical knowledge on the geopolitics of transport and logistics. In fact, the term geopolitics of transport is often associated with the set of logistical strategies implemented by sovereign states on the one hand to protect their procurement interests and on the other to safeguard / increase their economic and security advantages deriving from convenient access. to raw materials and / or outlet markets for final goods.
The course describes the geopolitics of transport and logistics in a simpler but, at the same time, broader way. In fact, by geopolitics of transport and logistics we mean the study of transport systems considered as political facts as they are capable of influencing the geographical space and those who inhabit it. This notion implicitly includes a broad spectrum of actors, including: public institutions, individuals / users, non-governmental or private organizations, whether they are carriers or rather beneficiary companies that rely on the mobility of people and goods to operate. From this perspective, therefore, the understanding of the geopolitics of transport starts from the observation that any transport initiative represents a potential object of disagreement between groups / individuals who may benefit or suffer costs if the initiative is implemented or not. The course aims to provide the conceptual tools necessary to grasp, analyze and critically reflect on the implications that intervention policies in the logistics and transport sector can have on economic development, environmental protection, safety and social equity. This objective is pursued by clarifying on the one hand the issues strictly connected to the geopolitical implications interventions can have on different territorial scales and, on the other hand, by providing the tools of economic and geographical analysis that can allow the student to understand, analyze and evaluate, in theoretically rigorous and correct way, the concrete implications of interventions whose effects, manifesting themselves within a complex and articulated network of networks, infrastructures and services, it is not easy to determine.
Students, also thanks to an active participation in the course through: 1) critical discussions, 2) structured bibliographic research; 3) drafting of short documents, 4) public presentations, will learn both to deal rigorously with the study of complex issues, such as those described above, and soft skills also useful for professional purposes.

RESERVOIR GEOLOGY AND STORAGE
(objectives)
The recently acquired knowledge of the impact of human activity on the environment constrains a number of initiatives aimed to the reduction of the deriving risks. On the one hand we need to recover and manage the natural resources necessary for our energy supply. On the other hand, this requires the subtraction from the environment of the waste residuals that derive from this activity. In the subsurface there exist geological structures, sufficiently isolated from the biosphere, that could accumulate either the energy resources and the waste stocking. The study (exploration and development) of such structures represents a major task to reduce the human civilization impact on the environment. During this course there will be introduced both the information connected to the formation and accumulation of fossil fuels (hydrocarbons) and the exploration and evaluation of geological structures potentially capable to stock, in a sufficiently isolated way, waste products, including those deriving from other energy resources (nuclear power plants). These two subjects are joined by similar geological structuring and will be presented with their different strategies and risk analysis. The purpose of this course is to provide the students the information required to his knowledge on the subject and his professional insertion in the subject.
