The primary aim of this class is to critically analyze ongoing international political and economic developments. By the end of the semester, students are expected to have a deep, critical understanding of major global or regional issues and be able to contextualize these topics within a broader theoretical framework.
Each week, students will be asked to formulate a research question by narrowing down the broader issue under discussion. The knowledge gained, along with the writing and research skills developed in this course, will equip students with the tools needed to analyze political issues and assist them in writing their thesis.
There is no specific textbook for the course. Reading materials, if any, will be announced weekly throughout the semester. Students are free to choose what they read on the assigned topic, provided they use academic and reputable sources (see below).
