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). 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.

授業計画
The course is divided in 13 teaching units of 100 minutes each. Each teaching units comprises 50 minutes of lecture, a ten minute break, and about 40 minutes of seminar. The seminar is struc-tured around exercises and discussions related to the topic of the lecture previously delivered, and requires the student to have covered the readings in order to be able to actively participate in class discussions.
The precise schedule will be uploaded at a later stage.
授業の方法
Frontal lecture; in-class debate; written assignments.
成績評価方法
The student’s performance is assessed with regard to attendance and in-class performance, and the production of essays.
20% of the overall assessment is determined by evaluating the student’s degree and quality of participation in class activities, including attendance.
80% of the assessment is determined by two essays (each with a 40% weight) which the student will submit to the course leader in the weeks following lecture 8 and the second one after the end of the course. Each essay should be about 2,000 word long and referenced. It should consist in the answer to a question chosen from a list which the course leader will circulate in advance. The course leader will announce the related deadlines during the course. The essays must be submitted via Turnitin, a plagiarism-checking website.
