Objectives and Contextualisation

The basic objectives of the course are:

  • To situate the study of the region's international relations within the general framework of the social sciences, integrating analyses that consider both historical and systemic perspectives focused on structures and processes;

  • To apply the fundamental concepts of the academic discipline of International Relations to the context of the MENA region;

  • To acquire the appropriate analytical skills to be applied to the international relations of the Middle East and North Africa;

  • To become familiar with the global processes that have shaped contemporary international society and how these affect the MENA region;

  • To identify the main actors, resources, and processes that have shaped the political, economic, social, and ideological reality of the region;

  • To express and defend orally and in writing their views on the most relevant international issues affecting this region.

These objectives will be addressed through academic readings, group discussions, case analyses, and research projects, with the aim of providing students with a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the region’s international relations


Competences

  • Analyse international society and its structure and understand its importance for real-life problems and professional practice.
  • Analyse the behaviour of international actors, both state and non-state.
  • Analyse the production and implementation of public policies related to the international sphere, in particular foreign policy and security and defence policy.

  • Apply quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques in research processes.
  • Identify data sources and carry out rigorous bibliographical and documentary searches.

  • Make changes to methods and processes in the area of knowledge in order to provide innovative responses to society's needs and demands.
  • Students must be capable of applying their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and they should have building arguments and problem resolution skills within their area of study.
  • Students must be capable of collecting and interpreting relevant data (usually within their area of study) in order to make statements that reflect social, scientific or ethical relevant issues.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI):
For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or information search, text correction, or translations. Students must clearly identify which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a reflection on how these influenced the process and the final result of the activity.
Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in partial or total penalty on the activity’s grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.
