Purpose and content of the course
| Course Objectives: | This course focuses on the rising tide of regionalism which has been a striking feature in international relations during the 1990s and the early years of the twenty-first century. Initially, most analysts regarded regionalism as a European phenomenon, modeled upon the institutions established in postwar Europe, then merged into the current European Union and successively, though unsuccessfully, applied in the so-called developing countries of Latin America and Africa. Since the end of the Cold War, however, regionalism has become more diversified, and the European model has mostly been rejected as inapplicable. Instead, new variants of regionalism have emerged, both in conceptual terms as well as in political practice, most dramatically in Southeast Asia but, to some extent, also in Latin America and parts of Africa. |
| Course Objective: | To better understand and analyze cross-regional and regionalization, the course combines multidisciplinary knowledge of particular regions in different parts of the world with comparative and global approaches. Special emphasis is given to the debates between regional and international studies, and to assessing the relevance of main theories and methodologies in the field. This course also describes and delimits regional studies as a field of knowledge and explains and theorizes the relationship between regions. Overall, it enables a summary and comparison of the main political, economic, social, and cultural traits of the main regions of the world. |
