The course is divided into three parts.

The first part deals with issues specifically related to: 1) transport and possible causes of conflict, 2) geopolitics from global to local and vice versa, 3) political control of mobility. In fact, it is fascinating to reflect on how many stakeholders may be interested by a simple transport initiative, even if it only concerns the modification of the conditions of access to a restricted traffic area of a city, even if it is small and remote. Here we will ask, for example, how to decode the sources of the geographical and political tensions linked to interventions in the transport sector? How to grasp the political dynamics of the mobility of people and goods in the geographical space? How should we analyze, study and understand the often-conflicting positions of the different actors, their particular vision of the intervention in question, their ability to influence the final result?

In the second part, however, the issues related to the mobility of passengers and goods will be investigated to understand the fundamental role they play in explaining economic and social activities such as, among other things, commuting, production, distribution of goods. or energy supplies. Indeed, every movement has a purpose, an origin, a potential set of intermediate positions and a destination. Mobility is supported and guided by transport systems composed of infrastructures, modalities and terminals allowing individuals, institutions, companies, regions, and nations to interact allowing the development of economic, social, cultural, or political activities. Understanding how mobility is related to the geography of transport is the main aim of this part of the course. In particular, the following topics will be explored: 1) interrelation between transport and geography by asking ourselves what is the geography of transport? What is the relationship between transport and the physical environment? What are the implications of the emergence of mechanized transport systems? What are the main characteristics of global transport systems? What relationship exists between transport and commercial geography; 2) relationship between transport and spatial structure reflecting on the geography of transport networks, on transport and organization of the territory, on the relationship between transport and location as well as on the impact that information technologies have on mobility; 3) interaction between transport, economy and society, deepening the issues related to the relationship between transport and economic development, transport and society, analysis of transport costs, analysis of the supply and demand for transport services.

In the third part, the issues previously studied and discussed will be integrated through the study of specific cases that serve to integrate the first and second part, verifying their applicability and implications to specific cases such as, for example: 1) belt and road initiative, 2 ) TEN-T, 3) arctic logistics; 4) covid and supply chain resilience. In this part, the students, working in groups and under the supervision of the teacher, will develop the analysis of a case study whose results will be organized within a research report, subject to evaluation, whose summary will be presented in class to encourage a critical discussion of the analysis carried out.

The locution "human rights" denotes a field of action as well as a broad, inter-disciplinary, field of studies. In the first perspective, human rights are generally meant to express a set of minimum standards of conduct a State ought to meet in the treatment of individuals over whom it exercises its jurisdiction. Since the end of World War II international charters, conventions, covenants and declarations have been promulgated stating what basic rights individuals have. Notable efforts have been made to enforce adherence to those rights resulting in the creation of a system of multi-level jurisdiction through a number of international courts. Even though many see human rights as a Western, culturally biased, construction based upon an abstract and atomistic conception of the individual, the notion that for a State to promote and perform cruel and degrading acts is unjust, albeit for different reasons, has become increasingly popular globally. In the second perspective, descriptively human rights are said to be powers or properties belonging to all human beings in virtue of being human. Normatively that all human beings must be able to enjoy certain fundamental rights is a matter of global justice. Today not only theories of human rights, concerned with guiding action, but also theories about human rights, concerned with foundational questions, compete with one another. The course concentreates on the theory of autonomy, vulnerability, recognition and justice by Axel Honneth. There is general agreement about the fact that liberal-democratic societies are based on normative principles, which require legal provisions to ensure that governments do not violate anyone’s fundamental rights. Yet, partially on account of the complexity of the ongoing overlapping global processes of integration, deregulation, reform, and partially on account of the influence of anti-foundational critique (deconstruction; postmodernism; relativism), these widely accepted principles seem to have lost much of their original explanatory and prescriptive force. Contrary to those claiming that this problem consists of a mere temporal delay between philosophical investigation and practical application Honneth argues that more is needed than time, hope and persistence to transform theoretically developed principles of freedom and justice into guidelines for political action. In his view the normative principles at the heart of the human rights discourse are formulated in a manner that prevents us from deriving guidelines for political action. In particular, the course will examine the model of normative reconstruction that Honneth developed in neo-Hegelian fashion for the purpose of situating his own theory of justice as recognition in the analysis of the variety of historically determined institutional instances and practices that embody existentially significant claims to realization.

The course starts with an illustration of the concept of strategy, its fundamental assumptions, its analytical criteria and reference area in the international system. Subsequently, it introduces a series of analytical tools aimed at understanding its constituent elements, the dynamics of the formation of the strategy at national level, and the main issues related to it. Particular attention will be devoted to the question of the tools of the strategy and to the possible ways of using them in pursuing national interests.

The second part of the course is strictly empirical. Using the analytical tools illustrated in the first part of the course, a variety of case studies are examined. More specifically, in the course of the lessons the national strategies of international actors in various areas of the world and in various time frames from the Cold War period to the most recent years are studied in detail. The purpose of this section of the course is to bring students to familiarize themselves with the practice of strategy in its various forms.

The course aims to analyze the modalities of formation of the European States pluralistic system born in the Modern Age from the disintegration of the imperial and pontifical universalisms of the Middle Ages, following the metamorphoses of three key concepts (universal monarchy, balance of power, supranational bodies) in the context of the political-diplomatic and war events of the Four-Eighteenth Century. Particular attention will be devoted to the transformations of the concept of monarchia universalis in the context of territorial and imperial States between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (Spain, Holland and England), to the international practice of balance of power before and after the Thirty Years War, to development of the idea of peace and to the first proposals of supranational organizations for the resolution of conflicts between States.

The course focuses on the history of relations between Europe and East Asia in the contemporary period. Particular attention will be paid to the historico-political interactions between China and Japan with Europe from the second half of the twentieth century to current times. The analysis of the factors and of the distinctive elements that were generated during the years of the Cold War between the three actors will facilitate the identification of lines of continuity and discontinuity in the current and broader context of globalization. The main objective of the course will be to suggest the appropriate interpretative categories for understanding the dynamics that characterize the evolution of the interactions between the European space and the new geo-political and geo-economic pivot of the global order.

The program of the course deals with the history of a wide geographical area between the German and Russian ethnic-cultural space, corresponding to the States of Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and neighboring areas, due to the ancient connections of those regions with the German, Russian and Balkan areas in the framework of the great multinational empires collapsed at the end of the First World War. Although the discussion about the idea of Central Europe is not yet exhausted, it is possible to identify in this region some common historical features: the legacy of the imperial past (Habsburg, German and Russian), the contradictory and fragile interwar political experience, the communist regime with the heavy Soviet influence during the years of the Cold War, the European integration and the Atlantic Alliance.
The existence of a political union, such as the Visegrád Group, is a proof of common political and strategic interests among the four aforementioned States. Their role appears increasingly important in the continental and global scenario due to the strategic position between Russia and the European Union, facing the new challenges posed by global security, energy problems, migratory flows.

The acquisition of the tools necessary to understand the development and weight of the mass media of the contemporary age will be carried out on the basis of a programme divided into two parts. In the first one we will analyze the stages that have characterized the development of the press, cinema, radio, television and Internet, these media changed the face of the twentieth century, the forms of political communication and, in the end, the daily life of individuals. In the second part the focus will be on the analysis of the history of advertising, its economic and social role aimed at promoting consumption.

The locution "human rights" denotes a field of action as well as a broad, inter-disciplinary, field of studies. In the first perspective, human rights are generally meant to express a set of minimum standards of conduct a State ought to meet in the treatment of individuals over whom it exercises its jurisdiction. Since the end of World War II international charters, conventions, covenants and declarations have been promulgated stating what basic rights individuals have. Notable efforts have been made to enforce adherence to those rights resulting in the creation of a system of multi-level jurisdiction through a number of international courts. Even though many see human rights as a Western, culturally biased, construction based upon an abstract and atomistic conception of the individual, the notion that for a State to promote and perform cruel and degrading acts is unjust, albeit for different reasons, has become increasingly popular globally. In the second perspective, descriptively human rights are said to be powers or properties belonging to all human beings in virtue of being human. Normatively that all human beings must be able to enjoy certain fundamental rights is a matter of global justice. Today not only theories of human rights, concerned with guiding action, but also theories about human rights, concerned with foundational questions, compete with one another. The course concentreates on the theory of autonomy, vulnerability, recognition and justice by Axel Honneth. There is general agreement about the fact that liberal-democratic societies are based on normative principles, which require legal provisions to ensure that governments do not violate anyone’s fundamental rights. Yet, partially on account of the complexity of the ongoing overlapping global processes of integration, deregulation, reform, and partially on account of the influence of anti-foundational critique (deconstruction; postmodernism; relativism), these widely accepted principles seem to have lost much of their original explanatory and prescriptive force. Contrary to those claiming that this problem consists of a mere temporal delay between philosophical investigation and practical application Honneth argues that more is needed than time, hope and persistence to transform theoretically developed principles of freedom and justice into guidelines for political action. In his view the normative principles at the heart of the human rights discourse are formulated in a manner that prevents us from deriving guidelines for political action. In particular, the course will examine the model of normative reconstruction that Honneth developed in neo-Hegelian fashion for the purpose of situating his own theory of justice as recognition in the analysis of the variety of historically determined institutional instances and practices that embody existentially significant claims to realization.

The course deals with the History of the Relations between Europe and the US in the 20th century through the study of US foreign policy and the relations with the European powers, with particular reference to the first half of the 1900s and the Cold War. At the end of the course students will be able to critically read some essential aspects of the Transatlantic Relations in what goes by the name of "American century". Starting from an analysis of the establishment of the United States as an great power, the Spanish-American war of 1898, Wilson's politics in the first world war, and the experience of the USA with Europe during the rise of the Nazi-fascist regimes the Second World War, the course arrives then to face the crucial point of the Cold War. The course will, therefore, deals with both the confrontation with the Soviet Union and the politics of the blocs, as well as the construction of the EU and the transformation of the American attitude towards a geopolitical entity initially viewed favorably. Particular attention will also be given to the issue of political and cultural interaction during the Cold War: some lessons will therefore be devoted to the history of protest movements in the United States and Europe between the 1950s and the 1980s. Finally, the question of the "Americanization" of Europe and the historiographical debate on the role of the United States on the continent in the aftermath of the end of the Cold War will be addressed.

The course aims to analyze the modalities of formation of the European States pluralistic system born in the Modern Age from the disintegration of the imperial and pontifical universalisms of the Middle Ages, following the metamorphoses of three key concepts (universal monarchy, balance of power, supranational bodies) in the context of the political-diplomatic and war events of the Four-Eighteenth Century. Particular attention will be devoted to the transformations of the concept of monarchia universalis in the context of territorial and imperial States between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (Spain, Holland and England), to the international practice of balance of power before and after the Thirty Years War, to development of the idea of peace and to the first proposals of supranational organizations for the resolution of conflicts between States.

A second text on a specific topic, to be chosen with the teacher at the beginning of the course.

The module examines the history of human migration, focusing mostly on the early modern and modern periods. Students will learn about structural aspects of migration, different types of migration and migratory dynamics linked to globalisation processes. Departing from case studies students will critically engage with broader issues such as: the difference between forced and free migration, the relationship between migration and (de)colonisation processes and the changes in the acceptance policies of some European countries during the 20th century. Part of the module will focus on migration across the Mediterranean in a diachronic perspective, addressing the political and economic causes of the phenomenon. Finally, during the seminars, students will be encouraged to analyse the current debate on migration from an historical perspective.

A reading list will be provided in week 1.

The course aims to provide students with an understanding of the mechanisms that fueled religious conflict in the global world in the early modern age. In particular, it will focus on the religious clash that took place in early modern Europe and on the conflicts that opposed the three great monotheistic religions, starting from the expulsion of the Muslims and the expulsion of the Jews in Catholic Spain at the end of the 15th century. At the same time, it will develop students' knowledge of the historical factors that marked the transition from a culture of conflict to an attempt at peaceful coexistence based on the principle of religious tolerance.
