| Content | The special theme of the seminar in HS 2020 will be “MULTILATERALISM”. Additionally, students will to approach the topic of multilateralism through one of the following areas (which concur with the areas of specialization in the curriculum): 1. Regional Integration and Global Flows 2. Peace and Conflict Studies 3. Trade and Commercial Actors in a Globalized World 4. Labor, Migration and Society 5. Environment and Sustainability 6. Statehood, Development and Globalization 7. International Organizations 8. Global Ageing and Health Students are also advised to consult the research interests of the involved faculty and align their topics if possible. The focus is set on trans-, cross- and post-disciplinary approaches that seek to achieve an integration of disciplinary methods and insights. In the seminar you will write, present and discuss a paper. The paper should prepare you for your Master’s thesis and also give you an opportunity to engage scientifically with a topic of your own interest within the broader area of European/European Global Studies. |
| Learning objectives | The seminar should prepare students for writing a master thesis and also give them an opportunity to engage in an inter- or multidisciplinary dialogue in the broad area of European Global Studies. |
| Bibliography | Some introductory literature on the topic of multilateralism will be made available on ADAM. The literature will be discussed on an individual basis given the chosen topic for the seminar paper. |
| Comments | More information on the paper and presentation can be found on ADAM. Studierende, die zu Semesterbeginn noch nicht eingeschrieben sind, werden gebeten, sich an die Studienkoordination des Europainstitutes (master-eib@unibas.ch) zu wenden. |
