Geopolitics Lab: Understanding the world around you

The most compelling and for some extend revolutionary event in the international arena, has been the return to the White House of the republican candidate. Most probably, for the next four years Donald Trump will be an agent of change. But it is impossible now to define if this mutations will be for good or ill – what will happen to the American democracy at home and the American superpower abroad?

Content and objectives

Our conversation will focus on three topics:

• The President and the American Democracy.
• The president and the wars (Ukraine and Middle East).
• The President, China and the Global South.

The approach will be more journalistic than academic. Students are invited to participate actively in the course, whether in the form of answering the questions, interrupting with their own questions, or engaging in productive conversation. At the end of the
workshop, students will be able to:

• expand their knowledge on key geopolitical issues
• develop their critical and analytical skills when reading the news,
• share their ideas and participate in active discussions
