Annotation

The seminar (CRIP), a corrolary to JPM689 lectures, will familiarise and engage students with critical perspectives on several key contemporary phenomena: warfare, (counter-)terror, violent rebellion and ‘hybridity’. A special session will be dedicated to feminist perspectives on violence in international relations. The readings around which class discussions will be organised are drawn from a diversity of disciplinary fields including political and international relations theory, military history, international political sociology and critical security studies.

Please note that all readings are available, and ongoing testing is conducted in the Moodle (https://dl1.cuni.cz/course/view.php?id=7560). Students must be registered in the Moodle to successfully pass this course.
