Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The aim of the seminar is to develop and practice research skills for designing and conducting independent research projects in social sciences. This seminar is focused on topics related to conflict, crisis, and security. The aim of this course is to help students develop their own critical analysis skills based on systematic work with relevant empirical data. The core of the first semester is work with secondary sources, i.e. with professional literature devoted to the given problems. In this semester, students will learn how to best obtain relevant information from existing research. In the second semester, students move on to the basics of their own research work. They train here in methods and techniques of empirical data collection and their analysis. They learn to design and implement a research procedure that will lead them to reliable and relevant knowledge and understanding of political processes, and with which they will be able to propose meaningful solutions to specific political problems.
