Module Title: International Crisis, Decline, Change
Module Leader: Professor Ayse Zarakol
Module Description:
In this course, we will explore the notions of ‘crisis’, ‘decline’ and ‘change’ in international politics, focusing on different levels of analysis. It has become commonplace to assume especially in the West that our world is in trouble. Is this true? How do we know if we are truly living in a time of crisis? The goal of this module is to get students familiar with both classical and cutting-edge work in theoretical, sociological and historical IR, while simultaneously engaging them in contemporary debates.
