3.00 ECTS (2.00 SWS), SPL 14 - Orientalistik, Afrikanistik, Indologie und Tibetologie

The language of instruction is German. As the basic literature for this course is in German too, sufficient German language proficiency allowing students to work with the textbook accompanying the lecture is an absolute requirement for the course.

The course is conceived as an introduction to the elective module on political science and international development. It is not a substitute for relevant introductory courses to international relations under the political science programme.
