Studium Generale College | Making Sense of World Politics
This series aims to combine several international relations theories with topical and current world events. Questions are raised about democracy, conflicts, climate change, foreign policy and more. The Covid-19 crisis has put pressure on many of us, and clearly on world politics as well. How have things changed for better or for worse, and how will they change in the future? For the first lecture, Birsen Erdogan will be joined by Professor Muge Kinacioglu. Jay Huang will participate in the last lecture.
