This 3-credit course is an advanced course of International Relations where students will learn how to apply Theories of International Relations tocritically analyze contemporary global affairs between the US, the EU and China. Will these global actors try to use increasingly power politics orinstitutional cooperation? Will they be able to write together the rules of the Game? The US, the EU and China might recur to different policies andstrategies depending on the circumstances and prevailing ideologies. Accordingly, the future of International Relations can be mapped in fourscenarios:1. Each global power tries to undermine the others, i.e. Everyone goes alone = mistrust and anarchy;2. A coalition between the western powers, i.e. The US and the EU against China = instability;3. The China Age, i.e. threat for Western powers;4.

Political violence has always been present. Sometimes it is expressed as a formal war between clearly defined combatants for clearly defined aims;more usually the aims are mixed and the methods and targets even more muddled. It is essential to understand these distinctions, moral, legal,political and practical in order to understand wider political practices both between nation states and within them. Since 1945, there have beenalmost no “wars” in the traditional sense of the word and very few which approximate to wars between states. Future wars are more likely to bebetween ill-defined protagonists and since 11 September 2001 and the US's "war on terrorism", it has become even more important to understandthe roots, aims, morals, ethics and techniques of political terrorism and all forms of political violence.3 credit hours.
