Cíle předmětu

The course aims at introduction into history of international relations in Europe in the 17th-20th centuries Europe. The main goal of the course is to present the most important historical events and interpret these in the perspective of changing structures of European system of states, changing patterns of diplomatic conduct, changing conditions of economy, society and domestic politics and, to the minimal necessary extent only, also in the context of changing global international politics. The course is composed of chronologically subsequent topics dealing with the most important features of the given period. The ambition goes beyond mere description of key moments, events, figures, wars, battlefields etc. The teachers strive instead to present those features and trends of modern and contemporary international relations in Europe that were or have been shaping the recent external relations of the countries in the European Union and beyond. The course puts emphasis on political-diplomatic aspects of international politics but the readings and presentations will include other features (economic, military, cultural relations etc.) wherever necessary.

Výstupy z učení

By the end of the course, the students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate foundational knowledge of major diplomatic events, wars, treaties, philosophical trends and turning points in European international relations from 17th century to present, with emphasis on their broader European and global significance. 2. Analyze how political, economic, and social developments influenced European diplomatic relations, including the impact of nationalism, democratization, industrialization, and military engagements. 3. Assess Europe's evolving role in global politics, from European balance of power systems to EU's position in contemporary international relations. 4. Critically evaluate historical sources and construct evidence-based arguments about European diplomatic history through independent research on a chosen topic. 5. Participate actively in class discussions, demonstrating engagement with assigned readings and ability to connect historical developments to contemporary issues.
