This course is aimed at students who are interested in international political and economic relations. Such relations operate within international and European organizations, as well as within local public bodies, in diplomacy, in politics or in the third sector. Students are trained by combined the frameworks of historical, political, legal, and economic perspectives. The proposed training path is set forth through the introduction to professionals, witnesses, and qualified actors, as well as by the opportunities available abroad and internships at diplomatic offices and international organizations. Students will develop the skills and tools needed to interpret the general dynamics of European integration and the processes of internationalization and global interdependence, while keeping a watchful eye on aspects related to the quality of these processes, such as the protection of human rights, the environment, and identities.
