Content of Learning Activity

The course is divided in two parts: (1) in the theoretical part, we will define international institutions and their international context of emergence. We will then look into their politico-institutional functioning, as well as their means and modes of actions and their relations with States, i.e. the main actors of the international stage. (2) Case studies will focus on one or more of the following institutions: UN, EU, NATO.
Tutoring workshops for writing an academic paper will be organized throughout the semester.
