International Relations Theory
This course aims at providing political science graduate (masters and doctoral) students with a thorough grasp of international relations theory. The course provides the main background for those who will take the PhD comprehensives in IR. The course presents the evolution of the international relations as a discipline from early 20th century both conceptually and methodologically, within a framework of key historical events. The course focuses on major approaches and paradigms in international relations theory, realism, neorealism, liberalism, neoliberal institutionalism, constructivism and Global South. The pressing questions in IR theory- the study of paradigms, grand debates as well as key issues will be addressed, albeit not in an exhaustive manner. The field of IR is vast- yet there are basic grand debates, main methodologies as well as key assumptions and paradigms set apart with these assumptions. By differentiating between multiple theories and paradigms of international relations, the course provides graduate students with a comprehensive background in major debates in IR theory.
The main learning outcomes of the course are:
1. Familiarization with the key paradigms and images of IR
2. Conceptual differentiation between different theories of IR and levels of analysis
3. Acquisition of basic comprehension of IR theories and their possible application to real life events
4. Grasp of the complexity and eclectic nature of IR theories
5. Describe international events in an analytical manner in line with multiple different frameworks
