Master course taught as obligatory-elective for students of International Relations and Security Studies. The course is also open for other students at the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSV), including exchange students.
Course objectives:
Global governance - probably the most accurate term defining the institutionalization of contemporary global relations. The aim of the course is to introduce the development of socially institucionalized cooperation of human civilization from the prehistoric times up to present current global system, which is defined by the emergence of global governance. We will analyze global governance as a phenomenon, we will identify the current international actors and their interactions. Discussions over the case study examples will represent an integral part of the course and we should come up with some concluding remarks about the effectiveness of global governance and its possible limitations.
Learning outcomes:
After completing the course, students should be able to understand and analyze the phenomenon of global governance and interactions within the current global system. At a practical level, students should improve their presentation, speaking and writing skills.
Teaching Methods:
The course is comprised of an informative introductory lesson and five seminars. Each seminar will be designed as follows:
• Opening introduction (40 min.)
o Presentation that introduces the discussed issues
• Presentation of group of students on an assigned theme (40min.)
o Carefully elaborated, containing possible suggestion for solutions
o PowerPoint
• Discussion (20 – 30 min.)
o Discussion will be focused on topics which were not covered during the presentation and which might be controversial and/or interesting.
If time allows, the assigned readings will be discussed as well.
Students are preparing for the seminars by reading the assigned texts and by actively participating in the class.
The fulfilment of this requirement will be demonstrated by handing in written answers at the beginning of each seminar.
