Prerequisiti
This is a Bachelor course. Students are expected to have some knowledge of the basic tools of political science, economics and contemporary history. The course is intended for both Italian and non-Italian students and it does not assume prior acquaintance with Italian foreign relations.
Metodi didattici
The course consists of 20 classes, roughly 60% of which are introductory lectures. The lectures are followed by seminars involving active participation by the students. Lectures and seminars are held by members of the Department of Political and Social Sciences (professors Marco Clementi, Riccardo Puglisi and Massimo Zaccaria). In some cases, they can consist of guest seminars held by visiting or invited scholars.
The purpose of the lectures is to provide background knowledge that will be useful for the seminars, in which students are required to give oral presentations and discuss them with other students.
Each seminar will begin with one or two students’ presentations based on the relevant reading(s). The presentation will be followed by a discussion coordinated by the lecturer specialized in the relevant topic.
Updated information on the course and the calendar of lectures and seminars will be available through KIRO.
