Course Content

This course is to introduce students to the diplomatic history by giving also a worldview on wars and conflicts. The course covers major world wars and international relations, starting from the beginning of the 20th century bringing up to the recent developments of history. The First World War led to the collapse of empiral system in Europe and to the expansion of the European nation-state system. World War II brought about massive destruction and precipitated political changes in Europe. The ensuing Cold War era affected European diplomacy and divided the world into two political blocs with a freshly decolonized world caught in between. A fragile strategic balance prevented the two sides from precipitating another world war. However, while in Western Europe the project of European integration steadily progressed the world out side West experienced considerable violence, instability and underdevelopment.
