Overall Educational Objective To comprehend the basic concepts, processes and theories of International Relations and to be able to give educated examples.
Course Description The primary objective of the course is to help crystallize the basic concepts and theories of International Relations for attendant students. The latter is realized by intriguing and imbuing the skill to offer theory-laden real-world examples whilst paving the way to appraise inter-state policies and international outcomes in an educated manner. Fundamental concepts such as power, conflict, regular and irregular warfare, authority, international anarchy as opposed to intra-state hierarchy, inter-state cooperation based on institutions, regimes, reciprocity and identity; the evolution of international law, the use of force by nation-state militaries, and last but not least, the reasons for the existence of definitional debates about political violence and terrorism, and the reasons for their politicization are first introduced, and then discussed within and among in-class groups as per the Flipped Classroom. Theoretical tenets, and practical ways and means of making foreign policy alongside the Realist and Liberal theories on inter-state and global relations, including the increasing salience of sovereignty-free non-state actors in the wake of the Cold War are studied to shed light upon the globalization of politics both at home and abroad.
