This course focuses on two main topics. The first half of the course examines international affairs and international relations in general. Initially, the course focuses on the historical evolution of international affairs, the current status thereof, and possible future developments. There is a special emphasis placed on politics affairs of the world’s most politically influential countries and the emerging powers of Asia. The second half of the course has a much narrower focus. A specific number of current international crises will be examined and analysed mostly using sources from reputable media outlets. The students will be taught to differentiate bad sources from good ones and also encouraged to form their own opinions on controversial topics. The coursework is largely based upon independent work by the students themselves and discussions where everyone is obliged to take part. During the first half of the course, there will be lectures delivered by the teacher. The course evaluation includes an exam, a detailed report and an essay followed by a presentation
