Course/Module description:
This is an advanced course in IR theory and it is assumed that students have prior knowledge of the material. As such its objective is to widen and deepen existing knowledge and the course will be conducted mainly through reading and discussion.
The course will begin with mapping the discipline using various axes and by a discussion on the scientific nature of the discipline and its theories. Various positivist and post-positivistic answers will be surveyed. Clearing those issues we will advance to discuss some central approaches in the field, such as realism, liberalism, and constructivism, as well as the more challenging approaches such as critical theory, feminism, and post-structuralism.
We will then zoom into key concepts that are used in the field like anarchy, power, international system, international organization, norms, identities, governance, and networks. The course will be concluded with a normative discussion of the position of researchers vis-à-vis their societies.
Note that the COVID 19 inflicts some limitations on the course, yet it also creates some opportunities, which I will try to take advantage of, like inviting foreign lecturers. I don't promise I'll succeed, but I'll try.
Course/Module aims:
The objectives of the course are to acquire a thorough knowledge of the theoretical world of IR, and to learn the challenges confronting researchers.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
To compare different IR theories
To become familiar with and thoroughly and critically understand key concepts in the study of International Relations and social science more generally.
To evaluate explanatory success of IR theories
To apply theories on cases
To criticize theories
