Power, Order, and Conflict in International Politics

Education facts

Code: 733G53

<p>How and why international conflicts develop and are resolved depends on the prevailing international order. Theoretically, we can imagine this order on a scale between a distinctly anarchic system and a developed international society. Different international orders (structures, norms, institutions) give different scope and legitimacy to different forms of international power. This course aims to create a deeper understanding of this interaction between power, order and conflict in international politics. The course covers central concepts and theories as well as (current) examples of international conflicts.</p>
