The course builds on previous courses within the study program International Relations and introduces students to research issues that are on the agenda of the contemporary international community. Each week is devoted to the professional approach to the most important event of the previous week i.e. events that are in the focus of the international community. Part of our attention is devoted to complex themes in international relations e.g. terrorism, foreign policy, globalization, world politics, international integration, human rights, self-determination of nations etc. Experts are invited to the course and a considerable number of foreign students calls for the course to be held in English.
