Syllabus
- Week 1 - Introduction
The current global world implies a new approach of the international arena, breaking with classical theories. - Week 2 - Inequalities
The main economic and social parameters indicate an unequal and instable world. - Week 3 - Regionalism
The nation-state territory is challenged by new kinds of integration, and particularly by fragile regional constructions. - Week 4 - World Actors
Nation-states are no more the only international actor. Many groups and 7 billions of individuals are now potential actors of our current international system. - Week 5 - Globalization
Globalization is a complex process which is challenging the main traditional aspects of the world order. - Week 6 - Identities
Identity has to be revisited and considered as a social and a political construct. - Week 7 - Religions
Religion is perceived as a major parameter of the present world order, but generally in an oversimplified way. - Week 8 - Nation State
Is traditional nation-state still working everywhere around the world? - Week 9 - Power
Is power still meaningful and efficient? - Week 10 - War and Peace
New international conflicts have a specific configuration and imply a new treatment. - Week 11 - International System
Polarization and multilateralism are the new features of the post 1945 international system. The first one is probably over; the second one is challenged. - Week 11 - Conclusion

Sciences Po is an institution of higher education and research in the humanities and social sciences that devotes 35% of its budget to research.
Founded in 1871, it has been training tomorrow's leaders for 140 years, in the private sector as well as in senior administration, politics and research.
Sciences Po is highly international: of its 12,000 students, 46% are international students from over 150 countries. Sciences Po invests in social responsibility and makes social and cultural diversity a key component of its identity. 27% of eligible students receive grants at Sciences Po. The figure was 6% in 2000.
Sciences Po contributes to public debate through its research and the variety of debates and conferences it organises each year.
For the past ten years or so, Sciences Po has been working to integrate digital tools into its teaching (shared workspaces, eCourses, Moodle, online Cartothèque, mapping of controversies, Forccast project, etc.) and has therefore naturally taken an interest in the format offered by MOOCs and the new possibilities offered in terms of educational innovation.
