Some of the transversal or generic competences acquired in this course include: - Instrumental competences: ability to analyze and synthesize information. - Personal and systemic competences: understanding the importance of interdisciplinary teamwork; self-critical reasoning; motivation for quality. - Other competences: ability to recognize the global and local dimensions of social phenomena; skills to contextualize and identify key actors in each situation. Regarding the specific competences, they are as follows: 1) Disciplinary knowledge ("knowing"): Mastery of methodologies applied to the field of new technologies and global governance. 2) Understanding of the attitudes of various political and social actors towards these new technologies. 3) Research into the transformations and evolution of societies, particularly in the area of new technologies. - Professional competences ("knowing how to do"): 1) Ability to design and carry out research (information gathering, analysis) in the field of new technologies and global order. 2) Capacity for critical analysis of the use and development of new technologies, and reflection on the challenges they pose at the international level. 3) Skills in managing and organizing individuals or social networks that make use of new technologies. 4) Ability to plan and evaluate, at different levels, programs and projects for the regulation of these new technologies. - Personal competences ("knowing how to be"): Beginning to adopt a critical and ethical attitude toward new technologies and their role in the international sphere.

The contents of this course are approached from three different perspectives: A first approach to the historical, political, economic, social, and legal context, making an initial reflection on the change or effect that these technologies are presenting in the framework of governance, geopolitics, the new global order and the reaction of democracies to the new challenges they pose. A second approach will be based on the attitudes that the different political and social actors involved (governments, political parties, social movements, citizens, markets) have towards these new technologies, their risks and the rhetoric employed. A final approach will address the challenges and new methodologies that, thanks to the existence of these new technologies, have appeared in the evolution and new applications of computational sciences in the data science market and in the study of the Social Sciences.

THEORETICAL PRACTICAL CLASSES Knowledge and concepts students must acquire. Student receive reference texts to facilitate following the classes and carrying out follow up work. Students partake in exercises to resolve practical problems and participate in workshops and an evaluation tests, all geared towards acquiring the necessary capabilities.
