Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This SE helps doctoral candidates to find an appropriate theory of international relations for their theses. It also will make suggestions how to apply it to specific cases studies.
At the first step, the lector will introduce the major IR Theories. They include among others (neo)-realism, liberal institutionalism, regime theory, English school, constructivism, interdependence and integrations theories, democratic peace and security communities. Then the students will present their individual topics and apply the theories to their case studies. The lector discusses with the students the best way on how to operationalize the theories for their topics.
