Research seminar that integrates knowledge, theoretical and methodological competences to the independent study of individual aspects of international relations and globalization by the students from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Based on a specific project, students develop all steps of an inter- or pluridisciplinary research program under the guidance of the instructors: delimiting a field of research, identifying relevant literature and theoretical and methodological framework, contrasting existing literature, approaches and results within the areas that study globalization relevant to their field, formulating research questions, hypotheses, gathering empirical information, sorting it, analyzing with the adequately chosen quantitative and/or qualitative literature and interpreting the results and their implication. This includes the presentation and discussion of the different steps in results in oral and written form.
In each edition, five to seven key areas of research in globalization will be selected for study, and their outlines presented and discussed in class.
