Acquis d'apprentissage (objectifs d'apprentissage) de l'unité d'enseignement
The course focuses on several methodological and theoretical issues in Political Science.
First, the aim is to analyse in historical and comparative perspective key theoretical approaches both in Political Science - such as behaviouralism, institutionalism and neo-institutionalism, rational choice theory, interpretive theory, structuralism and post-structuralism - and in International Relations, such as realism, liberalism, post-marxism and constructivism.
Second, the goal is to highlight in which ways various theoretical perspectives deal with key methodological issues in Political Science.
