This course is an introduction to the comparative study of politics. It aims at familiarizing students with the main concepts of political science such as government, state, nation, democracy, democratization and so on. With a special focus on the evolution and the diversity of political situations and attention to not only national but also local and global scales, we will compare and contrast the political regimes of various countries of the world, the roles of key political actors, political institutions, political processes and patterns of political competition. We will be particularly interested in Asian countries. The main objective for this course is to provide students with the broad context needed for analyzing the political phenomena of any country and understand the main criteria and tools used to compare and rank countries in the world, as well as what we mean by democracy, what makes a non-democracy become more democratic, what makes a stable democracy and so on.

Global history: major themes and interpretations

This course analyzes major political, cultural and social developments in Europe and between Europe and the rest of the world, from the late eighteenth century to the beginning of the twenty first century. It will consider the ways in which Western countries intersected processes of nation-building with imperial expansion in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Particular attention will be devoted to the global processes of circulation and construction of knowledge in the field of science. The course will treat the age of world wars in the first half of the twentieth century from the standpoint of global history. Then it will analyze how Europe’s place in the world was redefined by the Cold War and by decolonization after 1945. The last part of the course will examine how Europe and the world have changed in the context of recent globalization. The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the main events and interpretations of global and international history.

The occurrence of extreme events is increasing around the world, causing significant human suffering and socio-economic on developm ent and growth. To the known natural events such as earthquakes, floods, landslides etc. we now have to add the impact of climate change. These events interact with demographic shift, rapid urbanization, inadequate management of natural resource, etc. to increase the risk in our societies. The combina tion of these factors is unique to each country/city. Many cities and countries need thus to develop their own, tailored disaster risk management (DRM) strategies. The course takes a systemic approach to DRM and is structured around 3 modules, aiming to:
- Develop an understanding of disaster risk management concepts, terminology and dynamics;
- Provide a detailed overvie w of various DRM strategies including sample/ case studies;
- Build up capacity to integrate DRM strategies into various field of interest.

The purpose of this course is to study the main contemporary theories of justice, namely, utilitarianism, libertarianism, political liberalism, communitarianism and cosmopolitanism which find their roots in the political philosophies of Aristotle, Locke, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Bentham and Mill. The current political debate in the Western democracies largely reflects these theories and views although the main actors involved do not always have full awareness of it. In the final part of the course we will focus on the growing disparities in economic well-being which have characterized several advanced economies in the last decades. In particolar we will make a critical analysis of the traditional efficiency/equality trade off and why we should care about inequality within and between countries.

The EU in the World

This course aims to give students the knowledge and tools to understand, analyze, and make informed projections about what is happening in Europe today – both at the national and EU levels.
It is impossible to understand Europe today without including in the analysis two variables: history and the European Union. The course is roughly broken into two parts.

Topic 1 Europe in a historical perspective: in the first part of the course we will analyze Europe in a historical prospective: after a brief overview of modern European history (the making of the Nation States in the past centuries), we will focus on contemporary European history (from the end of WWII to nowadays, with a particular focus on the making of the European Union.
Topic 2 How the European Union works: in the second part of the class, we will discuss how the European Union works and the complex interaction between EU and its member states and among European institutions.

The course of International Relations is divided into three Modules:
First module: Foreign Policy: an Introduction (Amb. A. Meloni) - 4 CFU
Second module: International Development (Prof. M.Carbone) - 6 CFU
Third module: The EU in the World (Prof. F.Bindi) – 2 CFU
------------------------------------------
International Development (Prof. M.Carbone) - 6 CFU
This module is based on a combination of lectures and seminars. Each session begins with an introduction by the lecturer designed to present the main concepts of the assigned topics. The second part is devoted to a critical discussion of the readings: students will be split into different groups, discuss some questions and then report back to the class.
This module analyses the interaction between industrialised and developing countries in the context of the changing system of international relations. To do so, it will explore the main strategies adopted by the international community to tackle global inequalities, the different types of financial assistance made available for developing countries, the link between foreign aid and other development-related policies (e.g. trade, security and migration), and the impact of international organisations, emerging economies, multinational corporations and civil society in North-South relations.
The main aims of this module are to:
· discuss different understandings and measurements of development and global inequality;
· analyse the main theories in the field of International Relations and Development;
· show how the global architecture for development has evolved over the past six decades;
· understand why and how traditional and emerging donors give foreign aid;
· investigate the role of selected international organisations (e.g. United Nations, World Bank, World Trade Organization) and civil society actors (both in the North and in the South) in the promotion of international development;
· explore the impact of selected policies of industrialised and emerging economies (e.g. trade, security and migration) on the economic and social development of developing countries.

Changing dynamics in international politics and development
Conceptualising international development and global inequality
Contending approaches to North-South relations.

This course is an introduction to the comparative study of politics. It aims at familiarizing students with the main concepts of political science such as government, state, nation, democracy, democratization and so on. With a special focus on the evolution and the diversity of political situations and attention to not only national but also local and global scales, we will compare and contrast the political regimes of various countries of the world, the roles of key political actors, political institutions, political processes and patterns of political competition. We will be particularly interested in Asian countries. The main objective for this course is to provide students with the broad context needed for analyzing the political phenomena of any country and understand the main criteria and tools used to compare and rank countries in the world, as well as what we mean by democracy, what makes a non-democracy become more democratic, what makes a stable democracy and so on.

Topic 1 What is politics? What is comparative politics?
Topic 2 How to classify political systems?
Topic 3 How to define democracy?
Topic 4 Minimalist v. maximalist definitions of democracy
Topic 5 Development and transitions

Course aim is to develop a cognitive approach apt to promptly understand and elaborate on leadership issues, starting from small group dynamics up to the strategic leadership level, key for governance of complex systems. Leadership is a vital function of the collective action. It has originated in the ancestral human groups and was molded by hunting and survival needs. The basic leadership mechanisms are hence related to the small group and are largely based on emotional interactions. The need to extend leadership from the small group to complex organizations gives way to great challenges, still very often unresolved. Such extension demands specific cultural and cognitive skills, needed especially for leaders at the strategic level, who must operate on ample domains, up to far away time horizons, with great value at stake. The course will therefore touch upon small group leadership, useful to lead at the supervisory level and base of the dynamics of the collective action, to expand to complex organization dynamics and to strategic level leadership, with special reference to the strategic thinking needed in our volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous and rapidly changing world.





The course topics are so articulated to achieve the following main educational objectives:
- understanding of the basic elements of emotional leadership, with reference to ethics and small group dynamics, relating it through class discussion to one’s own experience;
- acquiring an anthropological perspective of leadership and the collective action, able to link all main leadership theories;
- understanding of the organizational dimension of leadership, its challenges and ways to cope therewith;
- knowing the general evolution and the different approaches of leadership studies;
- focusing on fundamental elements of strategic leadership, with special reference to strategic thinking, and establishing a personal development plan for such skills;
- gain a clear appreciation of the influence of culture on the effectiveness of the collective action, also through an historical perspective, and being able to elaborate on actual cases;
- understanding of nature and scope of Mission and Vision statements and being able to actually use them in a class exercise;
- understanding of the conceptual base of the “New Science of Complexity and Chaos” and its value for strategic thinking, also through application to actual cases;
- understanding and utilizing strategic leadership cognitive models, aimed to complex, uncertain and rapidly changing environments;
- understanding change management, through knowledge of principles and actual cases, being able to conceive a change strategy;
- being able to link all above mentioned elements in an organic frame of reference.
The significance of ethics for leadership and the effectiveness of the collective action will be recalled throughout the course.
