Skrócony opis: (tylko po angielsku)

Jointly offered by three universities (the University of Warsaw, the University of Milan and the Charles University, Prague), this course in a partnership with scholars who focuses on area studies. The course aims to provide students with an inter-disciplinary and comparative understanding of different regions of the world and of current problems affecting them. It draws on the diverse multidisciplinary expertise of three European universities, but focuses especially on cultural, International Relations and historical perspectives. The course will equip students with the conceptual and terminological tools to analyse events and dynamics of a global nature, while at the same time drawing upon a series of very concrete case studies. It is structured around 12 lessons. Some of the classes will be joint taught with the professors from Global South.

The course is part of the educational programme "Framework for Area Studies" within the framework of the 4 EU + Alliance.
