Course objectives (in Czech)
This course examines the changing nature of conflict in the 21st century and the unique challenges of managing those conflicts in the interests of international security. Through lectures, seminar discussions, and case studies, we will examine the following main topics: • Historical nature of conflict and how conflict has changed in the 21st century • Strategies for conflict management and resolution • National sovereignty and the role of international institutions This course will feature a series of simulations in which students will work in groups to address emerging conflicts and to devise strategies for their effective management.
