- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to point at many myths of international politics, show strengths and limits of diplomacy in the real world and to analyse interstate relations and the importance of history and geography for international relations as well as to show functionality of international organizations such as NATO, EU, and of regional groupings such as the Visegrad Four. The main point is to show that there is no real diplomacy which is not backed by power of economy and military. The course will be based on the concrete experience of the Czech Republic and its long term relations with direct neighbours as well as bigger regional and world powers. Crosscutting issues such as energy security, economic diplomacy, support of human rights and democracy or military to military and intelligence cooperation will be closely examined. The course will be attended by guest speakers, practitioners who have been dealing with issues of foreign relations, defence and security in several positions and from various points of view during their careers.
