Location of Tallinn University
The walls of international relations are crumbling: it is unthinkable to ignore how the world and international security have changed since the terrorist attacks of recent years and how the so-called international community has reacted to the threat of terrorism, or since the rise of new major actors and the ascent of some old actors in international politics. The principles and structures on which the international Euro-centric Westphalian system is based are now challenged by countries like China and India.
VENUE DESCRIPTION
Contents
The course will concentrate on how globalisation will challenge our understanding of international relations and security, and what is required when studying security in the changing international system. It is already in fashion to talk about globalisation and there are several definitions for the phenomenon. However, there is less concern about whether our traditional concepts and theories are ultimately the right tools. Should we try to understand the future by means of the past? Will such rising powers as China and India continue to be westernized, or will they bring their own theories and values to international politics?
The principal teachers in this summer school will be Professor Paula Banerjee from Calcutta University and Professor Didier Bigo from King’s College, London. In addition Professor Elina Penttinen from Tallinn University will also contribute.
