Optional group: Two Electives among the Following: - (show)

21810074 - EVOLVING SECURITY IN THE POST 1945 WORLD (objectives) The course aims at defining and elaborating 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 in 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 the newly emerging threats as the former was consolidating after the end of the Cold War. - GALA MARILENA (syllabus) The course focuses on the most important aspects that security has assumed in the international system since the end of the Second World War. In adopting a historical approach, it intends to offer the students a general survey and understanding of a process that becomes the effect and the producer of frames of political action. The end of the Second World War has been selected as the starting point of analysis, mainly because it marked the beginning of the era of security studies in the United States and the Western world. Indeed, that field of studies developed after the failure of the attempt made at that time to establish an effective collective security within the United Nations. That failure coincided with the beginning of the nuclear era, which, in turn, dominated the Cold War. The time period characterized by bipolar confrontation represents a good deal of the focus of the course because it allows to examine the specific dynamics of that confrontation and the related developments concerning nuclear deterrence and proliferation. Still, in spite of the Cold War demise, the security discourse is still looming large in the contemporary international system, not only for the risk of nuclear proliferation, which seems growing after the end of the Cold War, but also because of the so-called securitization of many international issues, like environment, migration and access to resources. The course, therefore, aims at helping the students historicize the notion of international security and familiarize them with the main components of the contemporary international security agenda. COURSE OBJECTIVES: The course aims at highlighting the crucial turning points in the evolution of security as an internationally relevant matter, and, at the same time, at making the students aware of the most important developments in the field of security studies, since the end of the Second World War. The course adopts a historical perspective in order to provide the students with crucial tools of analysis and understanding of the contemporary debate about security, and the major challenges to the international order. However, the students will also engage with some relevant theoretical works in the field, as they need to familiarize with the process of production of frames of political action. - Part I: (first 5-6 weeks) After having introduced the meaning of security studies in the United States and the Western world, a good deal of attention is devoted to understanding the failure of the attempt made immediately after the second World War to establish an effective collective security within the United Nations, and its later evolution. Then, the focus shifts on the hallmarks and meaning of international security in the bipolar world, when military conflicts were bound to remain limited, as more or less limited was the room for maneuvering that most of the states inside and outside of the principal military alliances might reasonably expect to gain. Inter alia, Western Alliance is examined also to emphasize that, because of the threat of a nuclear holocaust, it has gradually turned out to be the venue for devising a shared security agenda and, through that, a curtailed version of collective security. The era of bipolar confrontation is also examined from the standpoint of the development of nuclear deterrence and proliferation as the two sides of the (nuclear-tinged) security coin - Part II: (second 5-6 weeks) The second part of the course concentrates on some of the most relevant challenges to international security characterizing the post-Cold War world, wherein globalization has been coexisting with a growing and widespread securitization of a series of international and transnational matters. Through the adoption of a historical perspective, the students are encouraged to reflect on and discuss about the transformation that the concept of international security has undergone over the last decades. Thus, class discussions are organized with the purpose of favoring a deeper analysis and debate on the various issues singled out as significant, and each student is required to present a short paper on one of those issues, using the bibliographical material suggested or provided by the professor (reference books) REQUIRED READINGS: - Mary Kaldor and Iavor Rangelov (edited by), The Handbook of Global Security Policy, Wiley Blackwell, 2014 – excluding the following chapters: 4, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 26 - Mark Mazower, Governing the World.

By reading a selection of theoretical and literary texts, students will be encouraged to take a critical outlook of different postcolonial methodologies, in order to gain consciousness of the impact of postcolonial theory on and through fiction. Specifically, South African literature and culture will be analysed in relation to the ideas of identity, nationalism, and race. By the end of the course, students should have an understanding of the main aspects of contemporary postcolonial theories, and achieve a critical awareness of the wide-ranging thematic influence of race and identity topics on South African literary texts. - ZULLI TANIA (syllabus) DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE GRADUATE COURSE IN INTERNATIONAL STUDIES COURSE TITLE: POSTCOLONIAL STUDIES IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING WORLD Syllabus DESCRIPTION: The course examines the nature and characterization of postcolonial studies in the area of Anglophone literature. By analysing a selection of theoretical and literary texts, students will be encouraged to take a critical outlook of different postcolonial methodologies, in order to gain consciousness of the impact of postcolonial theory on and through fiction. Specifically, the dynamic link between colonial and postcolonial literature and culture will be analysed in relation to the concepts of identity, migration, and race. NUMBER OF CREDITS: 8 INSTRUCTOR: Tania Zulli, Associate Professor of English Language and Literature METHOD OF PRESENTATION: The Course will be taught by following Anglo-American teaching methodologies. Short didactic lectures imparted by the teacher – with the help of power point projections and audio-visual material – will be associated with seminars and tutorials with a special focus on in-class discussions, promoting interaction among students. Specifically, classes will be partly inspired to flipped classroom teaching, based on home reading of primary sources (articles, book excerpts, novels and short-stories) and class discussion. Students will be required to perform active reading, to form a critical opinion about the specific topic they are facing and discuss about it with their classmates and teacher. Also, they will be asked to give a class presentation of a chosen topic. Active participation to classes will allow, among other things, the improvement of language skills and the ability to engage in a discussion about subjects of common interest. Students will be coordinated, stimulated and helped by the teacher in class. COURSE OBJECTIVES: By the end of the course, students should have an understanding of the main aspects of contemporary postcolonial theories, and achieve a critical awareness of the wide-ranging thematic influence of race and identity topics, with a specific focus on South African literary texts. The emphasis on migration, as developed through literary texts both in nineteenth-century and modern literature, will be instrumental to the connection of such themes to modern social and cultural issues.
