The history of international political and economic thoughts on international relations 2104-L-D6HMPE
The course aims at covering the history of political and economic thought about international relations. The familiarity with theory is treated firstly as a value in itself, indispensable for every educated specialist in IR. Secondly, theory and history of ideas are considered necessary for understanding of the processes which have shaped current international relations. Thirdly, abstract concepts are presented as useful, practical tools of analysis of international environment and foreign policy. Within this course the theoretical issues are presented in the context of historical processes accompanying them. The lecture covers political thought, while sections cover economic thought. The lecture, apart from traditional, one-sided transmission of knowledge, assumes familiarity with the readings and gives time for the in-class discussion on the texts, on the lecture itself as well as on the connections with the current political events. The sections require active participation from the students: presentations, team work, and in class discussions about cases.
