Introduction to International Politics
The course provides an overview of the main outstanding issues in international politics. First, after a brief historical introduction, it looks at the definitions of this field of studies under a number of theoretical perspectives, while focusing on several emerging problems of global nature. The course is intended for an audience of post-graduate students with no or limited back-ground in international studies, and aims to provide the information and analytical tools for an effective orientation in the contemporary global political setting.
At the end of this course, the student should have familiarised with a series of ongoing discussions concerning the nature of international politics, both in its theoretical articulation and in its several sectorial dimensions. International political theory will be introduced through an analysis of the ma-jor schools of thoughts providing a definition of what international politics is about (ontology) and how it is supposed to be studied (epistemology). For this initial part (Lectures 1-7), the students will become familiar with the concepts of realism, Realpolitik, anarchy, power, national interest, zero-sum-game, relative vs. absolute gain, polarity, globalisation, sphere of influence, intervention, human rights, emancipation.
