Cíle předmětu
In recent years, the slogan of the “New Silk Road” / Belt Road Initative has shaped not only the international relations of the PRC in particular with its neighboring countries and Europe, but also the dialogue among different civilizations. In fact, tracing back in history, the “Silk Road” was and is a place for economic diffusion, cultural exchange and transfer, but also for spread of disease/network of infections. This course on the ancient as well as on the New Silk Road will focus on the “connectivity of the civilizations” along this trade route.
