This Summer School attempts to present and discuss some of the most recent developments in theories of international relations. It is an advanced academic course. Although the school has invited many lecturers, it is fundamentally based on group discussions which frame every week, as well as the entire course. Active participation is required. Readings will be distributed beforehand.
It is meant to attract two types of participants. On the one hand, it is made for regional scholars who are aquainted with these debates and who want to use the opportunity to discuss in person with some of their main protagonists. On the other hand, given the particular focus of the summer school (see course content), the academics need not necessarily be only from the field of international relations, a field which has constituted itself only rather recently in the region. Indeed, the sociological focus allows any other scholar to participate if (1) he/she has worked on the methodology of sciences and/or historical or economic sociology, and
(2) he/she is interested in theorising the international. In other words, it is an interdisciplinary academic course.
Optimally, there should be an open exchange between scholars of international relations and of sociology.
