Degree Course: International Relations
A.Y. 2016/2017
Autonomia di giudizio
Il laureato magistrale, grazie alle sue conoscenze e competenze, viene messo in grado di formulare giudizi, includendo la riflessione sulle responsabilità sociali ed etiche collegate all'applicazione dei loro studi e progetti.
L'autonomia di giudizio sviluppata facilita l'integrazione delle conoscenze e permette di gestire la complessità, anche per approssimazioni successive, privilegiando la ricerca di soluzioni condivise, ma senza rimozioni dei problemi sottesi.
Le competenze acquisite e l'autonomia di giudizio inoltre sostengono l'attitudine a sviluppare idee originali e ad applicare soluzioni non omologate necessarie ad operare in contesti caratterizzati da una forte dinamicità e interdipendenza delle variabili anche sulla base di informazioni limitate o incomplete.
Per il raggiungimento degli obiettivi suddetti si farà ricorso a lezioni frontali, seminari, workshop, tirocini e stage.
La pratica di discussione collettiva dei risultati progettuali aiuterà a rafforzare con il confronto l'autonomia di giudizio.Abilità comunicative
I laureati magistrali saranno in grado di comunicare informazioni, idee, problemi e soluzioni a interlocutori specialisti e non specialisti; di presentare in modo chiaro e persuasivo le conclusioni e le conseguenti implicazioni applicative dei loro progetti, ricerche, studi, motivandole in modo aperto a una loro migliore definizione anche in fase operativa.
Le abilità comunicative acquisite sostengono inoltre competenze e capacità di mediazione e negoziazione ai fini del conseguimento del miglior risultato possibile nei contesti in cui si trovano ad operare.
Sul versante della comunicazione scritta e verbale, il corso di laurea si affida:
- alla richiesta, avanzata da quasi tutti i corsi teorici e nei laboratori, di presentazioni scritte (tesine, ricerche, curricula ragionati e critici delle proprie attività, ecc.), intese come elementi essenziali per la valutazione dei risultati specifici e delle abilità comunicative;
- all'utilizzazione generalizzata, soprattutto nella sede dei laboratori progettuali (in itinere ed all'esame), di articolate e complete presentazioni pubbliche orali (con o senza supporti informatici).
A tal fine sarà particolarmente utile l'attivita del LABICA, Laboratorio innovazione didattica, comunicazione e abilità relazionali.Capacità di apprendimento
Il presente corso di laurea si attende che i propri laureati debbano aver sviluppato capacità di apprendimento ed abilità progettuali tali da permettere loro un costante aggiornamento e un reale progresso conoscitivo al fine di svolgere attività di ricerca di dati e di fonti, di organizzazione, di database.
Tutto ciò dovrà consentire loro di continuare a studiare anche in modo auto-diretto o autonomo.
Requisiti di ammissione
Per essere ammessi al Corso occorre essere in possesso della laurea, ovvero di altro titolo di studio conseguito all'estero, riconosciuto idoneo dagli Organi di Ateneo.
Inoltre, come da Regolamento Didattico del CdLM, è necessario aver conseguito durante la carriera universitaria pregressa almeno 8 CFU per ciascun dei seguenti ambiti (economico-statistico, giuridico e storico), nonché almeno 16 CFU per l’ambito linguistico e altrettanti per l’ambito politologico-sociologico.
Si precisa che i CFU d’ambito linguistico devono essere stati ottenuti con esami universitari in almeno due lingue straniere, di cui una relativa a un Paese dell’UE.

Il Corso di Studio in breve
Il Corso di Laurea Magistrale “Relazioni Internazionali” (classe LM-52) è stato istituito nell'a.a.
2009-2010, in base al D.M.
n.
270/2004, e attivato a partire dall'a.a.
2010-2011 nell'ambito dell'offerta formativa dell'allora Facoltà di Scienze Politiche dell'Università Roma Tre, in sostituzione del Corso di Laurea Specialistica in “Relazioni Internazionali” ex D.M.
n.
509/1999 (già classe 60/S).
Già come biennio specialistico il corso ha avuto da subito un grande riscontro di studenti, crescendo di anno accademico in anno accademico, con l'attuale 40% di studenti proveniente da altri Atenei, italiani e stranieri.
Il CdS in “Relazioni Internazionali” è stato ideato tenendo conto, in primis, delle possibilità di occupazione che offrono sia la pubblica amministrazione italiana, sia il mondo delle aziende, ma ancor più tenendo conto dell'insieme delle strutture pubbliche e private che in Italia guardano alla realtà internazionale e direttamente agli Enti, alle organizzazioni, alle aziende che operano all'estero, oltre che, naturalmente, alle istituzioni dell'Unione Europea e alle organizzazioni internazionali.
Pertanto, la dimensione internazionale è una caratteristica ben precisa del CdS e della sua attività didattica e scientifica.
Ogni anno accademico è segnato da visite di studiosi stranieri, da viaggi di studio e didattici dei docenti del CdS, da incontri, convegni, seminari nei quali docenti italiani e stranieri hanno occasione di confrontarsi e scambiare le proprie conoscenze.
Molti dei laureati del CdS hanno fatto proprio questa vocazione “internazionalista” e sono in grado di presentarsi e competere nel mondo del lavoro all'estero.
Il Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Relazioni internazionali si articola in quattro percorsi tra i quali lo studente sceglierà al momento dell'iscrizione:
• il primo percorso, Studi politici internazionali, è rivolto alla formazione di professionisti con competenze prevalentemente di tipo multidisciplinare e interdisciplinare nei settori delle scienze giuridiche, economiche, statistiche, politico-sociali, storiche.
Dovranno inoltre possedere una solida preparazione linguistica.
• il secondo percorso, Cooperazione internazionale allo sviluppo, è rivolto alla formazione di professionisti con conoscenze e competenze riguardanti le complesse interdipendenze politiche, economiche, giuridiche, sociali e culturali che caratterizzano la realtà contemporanea e che rendono rilevanti i problemi legati alla cooperazione internazionale.
• il terzo percorso, Pace, guerra e sicurezza, è rivolto alla formazione di professionisti con conoscenze e competenze riguardanti i problemi e le dinamiche del mantenimento della pace e la gestione dei conflitti.
- il quarto percorso, International Sudies, in lingua inglese.
Lo studente espliciterà le proprie scelte al momento della presentazione,
tramite il sistema informativo di ateneo, del piano di completamento o del piano di studio individuale,
secondo quanto stabilito dal regolamento didattico del corso di studio.

THEORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS
(objectives)
Today human rights are the dominant moral doctrine for evaluating the moral status of the contemporary geo-political order. In the 20th century a broad consensus has emerged on framing judgment of nations against an international moral code prescribing certain benefits and treatment for all humans. Within many nations, political debates rage over the denial or abuse of human rights. Legal documents to protect human rights have proliferated. The course examines the philosophical basis and content of the doctrine of human rights. It assesses the contemporary significance of human rights, charts the historical development of the concept of human rights, beginning with a discussion of the earliest philosophical origins of the bases of human rights and culminating in some of most recent developments in their codification. It analyses also the formal and substantive distinctions philosophers have drawn between various forms and categories of human rights, the justifications of their claims, and the main criticism currently addressed to them.

HISTORY OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY POLITICAL THEORY
(objectives)
The course aims to provide analytical tools to assess the historical-political relationship between democracies and peace. Starting from the second post-war period, the critical issues relating to democratic ideas (and practices) will be framed, as a pivotal role in the balance of the international system and as a guarantee of coexistence within the State and between States based on law.
Reflection on democracy and reflection on peace become, from different starting points, privileged points of observation, above all to understand the current quality of political coexistence and to indicate possible lines of conduct in an international system increasingly marked by instability.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE LAW
(objectives)
The course aims to address some fundamental issues of public law from the perspective of economic analysis of law. Indeed, rational choice and game theories can usefully explain not only the typical market trends, which have long been the target of economic analysis of private law, but they can also explain strategic conducts by citizens, political and institutional actors in the public sphere. Moreover, thanks to the many applications and examples of positive law, the course intends to analyze the foundations of this approach and to outline the contribution that it can provide for a deeper understanding of some of the main issues of modern constitutionalism and for the functioning of public agencies.

THEORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS
(objectives)
Today human rights are the dominant moral doctrine for evaluating the moral status of the contemporary geo-political order. In the 20th century a broad consensus has emerged on framing judgment of nations against an international moral code prescribing certain benefits and treatment for all humans. Within many nations, political debates rage over the denial or abuse of human rights. Legal documents to protect human rights have proliferated. The course examines the philosophical basis and content of the doctrine of human rights. It assesses the contemporary significance of human rights, charts the historical development of the concept of human rights, beginning with a discussion of the earliest philosophical origins of the bases of human rights and culminating in some of most recent developments in their codification. It analyses also the formal and substantive distinctions philosophers have drawn between various forms and categories of human rights, the justifications of their claims, and the main criticism currently addressed to them.

Indeed, rational choice and game theories can usefully explain not only the typical market trends, which have long been the target of economic analysis of private law, but they can also explain strategic conducts by citizens, political and institutional actors in the public sphere. Moreover, thanks to the many applications and examples of positive law, the course intends to analyze the foundations of this approach and to outline the contribution that it can provide for a deeper understanding of some of the main issues of modern constitutionalism and for the functioning of public agencies.

Moreover, students will examine the effects of the technology evolution and the inevitable diffusion of the related knowledge from a political-international perspective and they will try to understand to what extent the nuclear issue has influenced the thinking of the political and military theorists.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE LAW
(objectives)
The course aims to address some fundamental issues of public law from the perspective of economic analysis of law.

Moreover, thanks to the many applications and examples of positive law, the course intends to analyze the foundations of this approach and to outline the contribution that it can provide for a deeper understanding of some of the main issues of modern constitutionalism and for the functioning of public agencies.

THEORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS
(objectives)
Today human rights are the dominant moral doctrine for evaluating the moral status of the contemporary geo-political order. In the 20th century a broad consensus has emerged on framing judgment of nations against an international moral code prescribing certain benefits and treatment for all humans. Within many nations, political debates rage over the denial or abuse of human rights. Legal documents to protect human rights have proliferated. The course examines the philosophical basis and content of the doctrine of human rights. It assesses the contemporary significance of human rights, charts the historical development of the concept of human rights, beginning with a discussion of the earliest philosophical origins of the bases of human rights and culminating in some of most recent developments in their codification. It analyses also the formal and substantive distinctions philosophers have drawn between various forms and categories of human rights, the justifications of their claims, and the main criticism currently addressed to them.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AFTER THE END OF THE COLD WAR
(objectives)
The course intends to offer a general survey of the evolution of the international system since the end of the Cold War. After discussing the main historical interpretations of the causes of the Soviet collapse, the first part of the course will focus on the crises of the 1990s (Iraq, Yugoslavia, Somalia and Rwanda), the repeated failures of the UN, and the US and European search for a new international security paradigm. The second part of the course will look at the impact of 9/11 as well as at the war on terror, considering their long term impact on the hegemonic position of the US. It will also discuss the growing role of such emerging powers as China and India. Finally, the third part of the course looks at such recent events as the negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program, the Arab Springs and their consequences, the paralysis in the EU, and the crises in Ukraine and Syria.
The course wants to introduce the students to an analytical understanding of the key issues in the evolution of the international system from a historical perspective. While occasionally engaging with the most relevant theoretical work on IR, students will be strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the main historical literature on the topics discussed as well as with using what primary sources might be available. By the end of the course, this approach should enable them to develop a better grasp of historical research methods and of how to use them for a critical assessment of current events

EVOLVING SECURITY IN THE POST 1945 WORLD
(objectives)
The course aims at defining and elaborating on the concept of military security as it developed after the Second World War. The time span is determined by the ineluctable revolution that the discovery and use of nuclear weapons ushered in both in terms of military doctrine and of power politics. Starting with a reflection on the reasons of the early failure of collective security, the course will first focus on the crucial hallmarks of security in a bipolar international system, making a clear distinction between States included in, and excluded from a multilateral alliance. It will then take into consideration the major challenges posed to military security by the newly emerging threats as the former was consolidating after the end of the Cold War.

INTERNATIONAL POLITICS
(objectives)
This course intends to offer students a deeper knowledge and analysis of the main issues of international politics: power distribution at the system level; alliances; terrorism; war and ethnic conflicts.

The course focuses also on the nature and the classification of war based on the major international theories (i.e.Clausewitz, Schmitt, Aron). More specifically, moving from Samuel P. Huntington’s theory on “The Clash of Civilization,” it will discuss the new theoretical framework explaining the main fault line wars after 1989.

THEORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS
(objectives)
Today human rights are the dominant moral doctrine for evaluating the moral status of the contemporary geo-political order. In the 20th century a broad consensus has emerged on framing judgment of nations against an international moral code prescribing certain benefits and treatment for all humans. Within many nations, political debates rage over the denial or abuse of human rights. Legal documents to protect human rights have proliferated. The course examines the philosophical basis and content of the doctrine of human rights. It assesses the contemporary significance of human rights, charts the historical development of the concept of human rights, beginning with a discussion of the earliest philosophical origins of the bases of human rights and culminating in some of most recent developments in their codification. It analyses also the formal and substantive distinctions philosophers have drawn between various forms and categories of human rights, the justifications of their claims, and the main criticism currently addressed to them.

THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD IN THE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES
(objectives)
The 20th century has been labeled as "the American century," while the beginning of the 21st is identified as a time of decline for the United States. Is American governance still functioning within and what weight does the United States carry at the world level? The course provides an analysis of the emergence of the country as a world power throughout the 20th century, up to the access of Obama to the presidency, within the framework of the new methodological approach of transnational history. The exceptionalist model does not apply anymore and American history is in need of revision. Students will therefore deal with the major issues of domestic policy while analyzing the new role the United States has come to play in the past few decades at the world level. The goal of the course is to provide students both with a general methodology for the study of the United States in a global world and an understanding of American politics and society in the past century.

EUROPEAN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
(objectives)
The course intends to provide students a guidance on finding, evaluating and understanding the European system of law and the process of European integration as a whole.
The course deals with the doctrinal construction as well as the practical application of European Constitutional Law. European integration built a supranational system of government that, nowadays, counts 28 Member States and acts within almost all areas of social life. In fact, European law has come to influence and develop national law on the base of a supremacy principle: national Institutions, protection of fundamental rights as well as national systems of sources of law are now unavoidably defined by such European dimension, that brings and derives from constitutional integration. Thus, the course regards the constitutional foundations of European Union, how does it works and the way it produces law. Moreover, it focuses on main issues arising from relationship between national and European levels of government, in the light of multilevel constitutionalism.
