Els estudiants han de tenir coneixements previs bàsics de Relacions Internacionals.
The main objective of the course, which is optional and compulsory depenging on the degree, is to familiarise students with the evolution, concepts, theoretical instruments and practical application of IR theories.
Specific objectives
1. To study the notion of international theory, with all its nuances and complexities, and its use to understand and explain the international reality.
2. To present some of the main approaches to the theory of international relations based on: a) a reading of the way they are usually presented in some classic textbooks; b) some sources or classic texts that are usually cited as precedents; c) some basic texts; d) the vision that other more heterodox approaches and visions have of each approach.
3. To have conceptual and analytical frameworks, as well as mappings and tools, to frame and understand theories of international relations.
4. To review some particularly relevant issues: a) the main divides of the neo-realism-neoliberalism debate, both at the theoretical level and on how to manage interdependence; b) the debate between constructuvism and rationalist approaches; c) critical contributions and issues apparently forgotten (and therefore, paradoxically, not forgotten) by the mainstream.
5. Interrogating specific problems of the present agenda from different theoretical positions.

La dedicació de l’estudiant a l’assignatura es divideix en diversos tipus d’activitats que, en coherència, es materialitzen en diverses exigències i metodologies diferenciades. Es tracta d’una assignatura de 6 ECTS, per tant de 150 hores. Aquestes 150 hores es reparteixen en activitats articulades de la forma següent:
a) Presencials o dirigides (50 hores, 33,3 %)
Sessions magistrals amb ús de les TIC i debats : 20 sessions (40 hrs)
Seminaris a l’aula: 3 sessions (6 hrs)
Pràctiques a l’aula avaluables: 2 sessions (4 hrs)
b) Activitats supervisades: controls de lectura, comentaris de text, pràctiques, tutories pels treballs, comentaris dels exàmens i dels treballs: 25 hrs (16,7%)
c) Avaluació: 7,5 hrs (5%)
d) Treball autònom de l'alumne (estudi i treball a casa i/o biblioteca): 67,5 hrs (45%)
2. Instruccions pràctiques per al material del campus virtual i l’activitat a l’aula:
Cada lliçó teòrica (o grup de lliçons afins) comptarà amb a) un esquema específic per guiar les sessions presencials/dirigides i les altres activitats relacionades; b) una o dues lectures obligatòries; i c) algunes lectures o referències addicionals.
Les lectures obligatòries (fora de referències a llibres o pàgines web) estaran disponibles al campus virtual, agrupades en pestanyes específiques relatives a cada lliçó o grup de lliçons afins
Nota: es reservaran 15 minuts d'una classe, dins del calendari establert pel centre/titulació, per a la complementació per part de l'alumnat de les enquestes d'avaluació de l'actuació del professorat i d'avaluació de l'assignatura/mòdul.

-Three reading controls, 20%.
-Two seminar-related evaluations, 30%.
-Final exam, 50%.
In order to pass the subject, it is necessary, although not sufficient, to obtain at least a mark of 5 (out of 10) in the exam. Obtaining this mark allows a weighted average to be taken with the rest of the marks mentioned above. When the final mark is equal to or higher than 5, the course will be considered passed.
Students who do not pass the exam, despite having taken it, will have the opportunity to take part in the compensation activities and retake it, at the end of the academic period, on the dates proposed by the Faculty. They must also hand in all all other assignments.
More specific instructions and dates will be given in class and on the virtual campus once the course begins.
One-off assessment: There is the option of taking a one-off assessment. It will consist of a final exam (70%) and an oral test (30%) on a selection of (previously announced) readings, to which students may bring the printed materials they consider appropriate.
