Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives:

Recognition of the foreign policy instruments of the states related to international relations, diplomacy in global politics and the effects of the economy and the use of force by the international actors to examine the conflict and to understand the methods used to solve the security problems in the international system.

Course Content:

International Relations (IR) as a course of study reflects the dynamics of the International System. The System is a complex web with multiple but mutually functioning components and is characterized by interfacing changes and continuities, which are instrumental in the dynamic nature of the discipline. IR is a broad discipline that encapsulates the multivariate aspects of man in the global contexts. It is what can be described as “a fusion of social science disciplines”, as it deals with the basic elements of the social man; the only difference is that it looks at such essentials in relational contexts beyond national borders. This course provides an introduction to the key concepts to analyze world politics. The course will briefly explore the historical evolution of world politics, the modern state system, and will cover scholarly discussions on international regimes, diplomacy, international organizations and transnational actors, and look at international security, international political economy, and the debates on globalization and global governance.
