Cíle předmětu
“How do they see us? The Czech Republic and its European partners” is a one-semester course that offers detailed practical insights into the conduct of international diplomacy through the hands-on experience of those involved in it. The overall aim of the module is unique: to introduce students to the field of international diplomacy and diplomatic service in an original, interactive, and participative way. More specifically, providing students with an exclusive insider’s view into the practical world of diplomacy and foreign affairs, the course is designed to acquaint them with the functioning of the international diplomatic service and its principles through a series of regular meetings with serving diplomats from European embassies based in the Czech Republic. It is through these direct interactions with the practitioners of diplomacy and their personal perspectives that the module will provide students with a rigorous understanding of, and in-depth exposure to, various practical issues relating to modern diplomacy. At the same time, students will learn about European countries’ foreign policy priorities in the Czech Republic and the associated limits, challenges, opportunities, etc. Last but not least, students will also be encouraged to develop their own critical questions over the conduct of international diplomacy.
