Course Description
The course focuses on applying simulation-based learning to analysing politics, economics and public policy, often through the lense of conflict. While scientific theories offer an understanding of political and economic processes, simulations build upon this knowledge by applying it to real (or projected) events. During the course, student groups will select a political and/or economic topic of their choice and develop an interactive analogue simulation game for it. By combining theory, literature analysis and other tools, the course will help understand how simulations can serve as a means for research, education and analysis.
Aim of the Course
This course aims at providing the framework for studying political and economic processes through interactive simulation development and use. Students will be provided with tools needed to develop simulation games based on scientific theories and research that can generate additional insights into the area of political economy.

The course aims to strengthen skills in game theory by focusing on its applicability to the problems of politics and business. While at the first glance games often seem too abstract or distinct from the actual political and economic processes, they are grounded in the empirics. Thus, during the course we will focus on some more advanced game theory models and look at how they can help us improve our understanding of politics, economics and business. This will equip students with skills needed to develop and apply game theory models in research and practice.

This course is an introduction to International Relations (IR), which is a branch of Political Science that studies the political and social consequences of the division of the world into separate territorially-based political units. It is also typically extended to include international organisations and non-state actors, and it focuses on issues broadly conceived of as having global—rather than limitedly domestic or local—significance.
The course is divided into four parts. In part one, students will be provided with background knowledge of the historical evolution of the state system. Building on that, students will then explore the central explanatory concepts of IR—power, interest, and identity—and their IR theory counterparts—Realism, Liberalism, and Constructivism. In the second part, students will engage with and learn the methods of a compelling alternative theoretical approach to IR: the Strategic Perspective. It both challenges and differs significantly from traditional theories of IR by arguing that the preferences of leaders and their constituents—rather than national interests or the state system—are the primary drivers of foreign policy. In the final sections, students will use this Strategic Perspective and the logic of strategic interaction to explain major characteristics of, events, and trends in global politics. The focus of the fourth part will be warfare and conflict; specifically, the use of military force, military alliances, nuclear deterrence, terrorism and military intervention. The fifth part will examine significant aspects of peace, governance and world order, namely, international organisations, climate change, human rights and international law.
The course will introduce students to the academic study of International Relations (IR), and give an overview of the major concepts, traditional theories and pressing issues in contemporary global politics. The primary aims of the course are to provide students with (i) a perspective of international relations as being predominately driven by individually-motivated strategies that shape war, peace, and world order; (ii) an understanding of the strategic calculations underlying the actions of the leaders of nations, international organisations and non-governmental interest groups; and (iii) the tools to understand empirical regularities by using strategic theory approaches.

The course introduces students to the history of political thought. This knowledge is crucial for a better understanding of how politics are influenced by social ideas and philosophical currents of the time and how political ideas evolve/erode in time. The topics covered include science, human nature, religion, history, culture, as well as poststructuralist, postmodern trends in political science itself.
This course is mostly theoretical and a historical overview of the development of the Western political thought, however, real life examples will be used to illustrate the points made during lectures. During the course students will discover how different the development of political ideas resonates with and originates from the philosophy and ideas of the time. Critical thinking will also be encouraged and used, especially when analysing the sociological side effects of application of political theories and in analysing the political polarisation of social phenomena. This will be useful in further studies for argument analysis and adding wider context of politics to one’s future studies.

This course introduces students to the key concepts, methodologies and fields of research in the contemporary political science, by employing the rational choice approach to analyzing politics. The general topics covered include the notion of human rationality, collective action problems, political entrepreneurship, voting, party competition and politics of coalition, as well as basic game-theory-based methods for the analysis of political phenomena.
This course is rather theoretical and methodological in its orientation. It does not aim to review a certain number of empirical findings regarding political events. Instead, students receive an overview of the scholarly thinking about political phenomena along with the basic game-theoretic tools that will enable an analytically rigorous exploration of political phenomena during the later courses of the Economics and Politics program.

The course finishes with the topic on macroeconomic policy and its debates.
This is a course in intermediate macroeconomics, designated for students with knowledge in basic economics. Its objective is to present theoretical knowledge and practical skills required for studying the overall economic development of a country.

Annotation Welfare economics is a branch of economics that focuses on the optimal allocation of resources and goods. This course integrates discussions relating economic theories to different notions of social justice and historical developments of welfare state. Welfare state theories and concepts are discussed during the course not only in terms of equity reasons but in efficiency terms also. The course introduces crucial debates about the borderline between state and market. Various aspects of welfare state are analysed with help of two broad questions: what are the aims of policy and by what methods those aims are best achieved? Each society faces questions related to scope of redistribution (of wealth, income, power etc. and how much of it should be there) and methods that are employed to organise economic activities (market, central planning, mixed economy) in order to achieve societal economic and social goals. Those two broad sets of questions are the main axis for discussions during the course. In order to enhance such discussions the course examines origins and dissemination of welfare state, two main social welfare traditions (Bismarckian and Beveridgean) as well as comparative welfare state typologies (liberal, conservative and social-democratic). Basic principles of social insurance, role of private and public sector in social insurance provision are covered during the course. The course examines in detail retirement pensions and their financing mechanisms (pay as you go and funded), social assistance principles, its organisational aspects and main types of benefits. Special attention during the course is paid to income inequality, poverty and social exclusion, their measurement methods. International aspects of social security regulation are also discussed.
Aim of this course is to enable students to develop a basic understanding of main topics in the economics of welfare state in democratic market economies. Students are expected to be able to define central concepts and apply these in basic discussions about the role of the state and the individual in provision of welfare (in terms of efficiency, social justice and equality) and some of the major issues in the design and financing of welfare state provisions. Moreover it is important for the students to be able to apply concepts and theories to practical policy debates both domestic and global.
• Analyse and discuss main features and failures of market economy and public policies. • Compare and discuss arguments utilised in favor/against state intervention in different schools of economic thought. • Apply basic concepts, terminology and organisational principles of welfare. • Evaluate and compare different methods of welfare financing. • Overview and compare structure of welfare state and social security in particular in different countries. • Compare and discuss relationship of economic and social policies. • Compare and discuss welfare state theoretical models and analyse real welfare systems. • Analyse and compare different welfare provisions among countries: retirement pensions, health care, social assistance systems. • Analyse and discuss main principles of measuring income inequality, poverty and social exclusion. • Overview international aspects of welfare/social security regulation. • Work in teams, present work results both in writing and orally, provide argumentation.

Futures Thinking is a multidisciplinary method for thinking constructively and creatively about the future, starting from the assumption that the future is not something that will happen to us tomorrow but is being created by us today. Students will be introduced to the major changes that will occur in the next 10, 20 or more years, including global warming, inequality, global health, the future of work, among others. In each area, students will undertand how experts have created scenarios to cope with uncertainty, identify dynamics, develop policy choices, assess alternatives, and ultimately, make decisions. Students will be immersed in Futures Thinking through discussing and debating influential reports – for example, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the OECD, the World Health Organisation, and McKinsey Global Institute. Students will then work collaboratively to assess the potential local impact of these global trends and evaluate local examples of Futures Thinking.

To reach excellence as a student and as a (future) leader, it is not only necessary to develop hard skills, but also to master soft skills through which we can develop and improve ourselves, and our relationships with others. Taking on an explicit psychological perspective, this course aims to provide students with the necessary theoretical knowhow and practical tools that should enable them to both understand and apply pathways to (inter)personal, and intellectual success and to emotional flourishing. Topics that will be covered are: “self and personality”, “creativity”, “critical thinking”, “self-presentation” and “self-branding”. At the end of this course students are expected to have become acquainted with and have mastered/applied a range of soft skills that are quintessential for personal development and that are valued by, and sought after by employers.
