- Educational objectives
- By the end of the course, students are expected to acquire the knowledge and analysis tools in the field of international security studies. Through the study of subject-specific materials and an active participation in lectures, they will improve their ability to understand the political and strategic dynamics of the main areas of the international system, the rationale behind actions taken at regional and global level and major changes in the nature of international security risks. Thanks to the knowledge acquired, students will develop an ability to make independent analyses on the dichotomy security/insecurity, providing new interpretations besides the ones acquired in the frame of other internationalist courses. Finally, students will master the appropriate vocabulary to express trustworthy opinions on international security issues in their future professional contexts.

The goal is to examine: the main topics and tendencies with regard to the causes of international insecurity; the way insecurity arises in the various geographic areas; national policies to contrast political and geostrategic risks. The course delves deeper into the study of international politics, with a focus on security issues, aiming to develop students' awareness of the political and strategic challenges of State interventions in the current international system, as well as students' ability to analyse these challenges.
