Syllabus
Updated A.Y. 2022-2023
Course Description
The course will investigate some of the main features of global governance in a historical perspective, considering its evolution in the period 1945–2008 – from the aftermath of World War 2 to the global financial and economic crisis of 2008. The course aims at providing some of the factual grounding and conceptual apparatus necessary to better understand the contemporary world’s governance and its challenges.
It will present students with the onset, changes, and evolution of the international arrangements made to govern political and economic relations (e.g.: international organizations, international regimes and agreements, regional organizations). In so doing, the course will constantly highlight the visions and interests shaping the global governance along its evolution, and bring to the fore the key actors imposing, shaping or challenging the governance rules and structures.
