A Systemic Approach to Dealing with lobal Crises (SZF_192)
About Study Course
Objective
This course aims to develop the ability of Masters students in International Relations and political Science to think systemically and analyse today’s global crises by understanding their interconnectedness and long-term consequences. The course offers a complex approach, combining system dynamics, U theory, principles of chaos and self-organization to analyze the processes, conflicts and challenges of global governance of international politics. Students will learn how to move from reactive, ego-system-based approaches to proactive and collaborative eco-system strategies using techniques such as impact mapping, dialogue circles and prototyping. As part of the course, students will not only theoretically analyse international relations and global change, but also develop the practical skills needed to work in policymaking, diplomacy and international organizations.
