Course on Theories of International Relations within the LL.M. programme in Public International Law. The Sigmund Freud Private University offers this programme in collaboration with UNITAR (United Nations Institute for Training and Research).
Theories of international relations help to understand the functioning of international systems, interactions of nations as well as ideological differences. This course introduces students particularly to the three main theoretical perspectives of international relations. Idealism is based on the belief that states should make their internal political philosophy the goal of their foreign policy. Realism states that all nations are working to increase their own power. According to institutionalism, international institutions allow states to cooperate. These theories are used for understanding and interpreting specific cases of conflict relating to the making and application of international law.
Students will learn to identify key strategies of political analysis and international relations, find out how political and foreign policy analyses are conducted, identify new areas of though in international relations, identify the significance of conducting political analysis to better perform activities in global contexts and recognize techniques that are practical and applicable in political analysis.
