Geopolitics of the global space
Séquencement
Learning objectives
The engineer operates in a national but also a global context. This course will bring keys to understanding the contemporary world by teaching theories, concepts used in geopolitics, and geoeconomics in order to constitute a reference for action and reflection: one cannot act without knowledge of the world. The illustrations and case studies provided on-going and in-depth in TD will be used to apply the conceptual tools. It is a more global and transdisciplinary vision than international relations, which will mobilize a wealth of knowledge in economics, law and history. Work materials will be in English and French
