In this course, we will analyze the main contours of history of international relations in the twentieth century and beyond. We will discuss the main conflicts, wars, peace movements, international cooperation, and global transformations in the transnational arena, which had been founded upon the legacy of the long nineteenth century. The course starts with the developments leading to the Great War and ends with the global pandemic of the 2020s. We will not only focus on the diplomatic and military relations between the nation-states, but also focus on themes like democracy, international political economy, decolonization, Cold War, development, globalization, human rights and environmental protection.
