Oktatás célja

The aim of the course is to explore questions of power, governance, resistance, and rule. During the course, we rely on a collage of literatures approaching these issues from various angles, connecting politics, sociology, and international relations. The texts are complex and require careful reading. For this reason, the instructors have decided not to conclude the course with an exam, but to evaluate students’ work during the semester. The first sessions will be taught by Prof. Kopper (email: kopper.akos@tatk.elte.hu), while the second part of the course will be taught be Prof. Unger (email: unger.anna@tatk.elte.hu) Each session will start by discussing the main point of the topic – including the short presentations of students who wrote the position papers for the session, in the case of sessions #2-5 - and with reflections left over from the previous session. Students are required to read all the readings before the sessions, because during the second part of each session discussion-groups will be organized and those who do not do the readings won’t be able to participate in these.
