Understanding the Global System: Introduction to International Relations for ALL

Àpd 21.24 C$ /h

The course gives an introduction to international politics from a theoretical perspective. The discipline of international relations looks at political interactions at the global level. In the context of this course, we will look at states as the most important actors in international politics, although we will also look at the influence of, for example, international governmental organizations (such as the United Nations) and non-governmental organizations (such as Amnesty International or terrorist groups like the Islamic State). How can the behaviour of states and other actors be explained? This question is central to the course. Assumptions from various schools of thought, such as realism, liberalism, and constructivism are discussed extensively. In the course, the most important insights that these theories have presented are dealt with on the basis of concrete examples. Therefore, attention will also be given to specific issues and developments in international politics, such as globalization, regionalism, terrorism, war and peace, human rights, poverty and development, climate change and nuclear non-proliferation.

Course Objectives

Goal 2: to apply this knowledge to understand international relations

Présentation

Hi! Thank you so much for visiting my page!

My name is Jack and I am here to teach you about the fantastic discipline of International Relations. I am a 24-year-old graduate of International Relations and Organisations and I currently work at the British Embassy here in The Hague, the Netherlands. I love teaching, meeting new people, and I consider myself very easy to talk to.

It is a discipline I am extremely passionate about, and I want to share this passion with my students. I am keen to build a relationship with you the student, so that I may better understand your needs and learning style. Alongside the specified courses, I am also here to assist with any academia related queries, writing papers and conducting research, as well as university and internship applications. I was in your shoes once!

Above all, I seek to make everything we do enjoyable and benefit you.

Interested? Let's organise a quick call to get to know each other and discuss options!

Education

I graduated from Leiden University with a BSc in International Relations and Organisations. I completed this degree 'Cum Laude' with honours. My thesis research was a qualitative, interpretivist piece entitled 'The Alliance Security Dilemma, NATO & Strategic Consensus'. for which I was awarded a 9/10 and nominated for best thesis in Political Science 2022. I have also taken courses in Comparative Politics, Global Security, Global History, International Development and others. Although I am well versed in International Relations generally, my expertise lies in international and European security, grand strategy and foreign policy analysis.

I am currently undertaking an MSc in Political Science with a specialisation in International Politics also at Leiden University. I am continuing with this same strain of research.

Expérience / Qualifications

My current role is at the British Embassy in The Hague, where I am part of the Policy Team. I deal mostly with British-Dutch bilateral affairs, but I also have experience with International Law, the OPCW and other multilateral affairs. I was fortunate enough to attend the 2023 UK-NL Joint Diplomatic Training at the Foreign Office in London. I can therefore provide a practical, real-world insight into International Relations.

Previously, I was also part of the Implementation Support Unit of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention. Here I was able to gain a rich insight into an international treaty, and the important work of civil society.

A l'occasion de nouveaux concours, il est essentiel d'approfondir ses connaissance en culture générale et aussi de l'actualité géopolitique. Il faut aussi mettre en évidence que la culture générale et la méthodologie sont primordiales pour une bonne appréhension des enjeux actuels.

Chaque cours se déroule de manière structurée et adaptée au niveau de la personne. Nous commençons par une révision des notions précédentes pour consolider les acquis, suivie d’explications claires et détaillées des nouvelles notions. Des exercices pratiques et des tests sont proposés pour mettre en application ce qui a été appris et vérifier la compréhension. Je propose également des interrogations régulières et des points de suivi pour évaluer la progression et ajuster le rythme des séances. L’objectif est de combiner théorie et pratique, tout en favorisant la confiance et l’autonomie, pour que chaque séance soit efficace et motivante.

Titulaire d’une licence en histoire, journalisme et science politique, et actuellement étudiant en droit, j’ai développé une approche transversale des sciences sociales.

Au fil de mon parcours universitaire, j’ai acquis une bonne connaissance des attentes des enseignants, des difficultés rencontrées par les élèves et étudiants, ainsi que des méthodes réellement efficaces pour progresser.

Mon accompagnement repose sur des méthodes concrètes : apprendre à retenir l’essentiel, organiser efficacement ses révisions, structurer un raisonnement clair et répondre précisément aux attentes des correcteurs.

J’interviens aussi bien pour la méthodologie de la dissertation et du commentaire de documents que pour la préparation aux examens et concours (bac, partiels universitaires, concours d’entrée).

The course will introduce students to the Bible and the two religions it founded, Judaism and Christianity.: presentation of the Torah and “the” Christian Bible (historical, philological, linguistic, literary, and theological approaches); of Judaism and Christianity, and of what is known as the “separation of ways"; of Christian theology through a selection of works and Latin texts from late antiquity and the Middle Ages, from the Passion of Perpetua and Felicity to Nicholas of Cusa. The relationship between the two religions will be studied with particular attention: it is necessary to honor the Jewish roots of Christianity and the chronological and ontological priority of Judaism.
