About the course
Aim
On completion of the course, the student should be able to
- demonstrate knowledge of basic concepts and theories of international policy, as well as knowledge of central international actors, processes and institutions,
- account for how theories, concepts and institutions arise, and are change, and are interpreted in different historical, political and epistemological contexts,
- in writing, reflect on and critically relate to phenomena, concepts and theories and, at a seminar, orally account for own lines of reasoning and relate to other students' corresponding achievements,
- argue for and against, and compare and contrast, different theories of international policy, and apply them on historical or contemporary examples,
- take a critical approach to arguments and interpretation, from both epistemological, ethical and democratic perspectives.
Content
The course covers basic concepts and theories of international policy and different historical and contemporary phenomena in international policy, such as the UN system, international security policy and international cooperation.
