2SM411 - Asia in International Relations
„Asia has made a huge leap forward. It is not any more shackled by European colonialism or divided by the Cold War. With the rise of China, India or Indonesia, Asia is emerging as a new power centre on the world stage. With more than half of the world population and accelerating integration and cooperation, its economic power will only grow. Still, this remarkable success is hindered by deeply-rooted grievances and distrust among states, frequently escalating into violent conflicts. At the same time, many countries across the continent are faced with state-building issues, terrorism or divided by religious and ethnic conflicts. Lectures focus both on theoretical aspects and foreign affairs of Asian countries on the background of key milestones of the 20th century, whereas seminars are devoted to current foreign policy issues and challenges.“

2SM442 - Globalised International Relations
„Globalisation removes borders and barriers on a planetary scale. Yet, does globalisation lead to the integration of global economic, political, and cultural processes? Does it contribute to economic growth, prosperity and the spread of freedom and democracy? Or is rather the engine of environmental crisis, exploitation of the developing world and oppression of human rights? The course will unpack these issues by reading and discussing texts from International Relations and related disciplines.“
