International History (90h) This course explores the main themes in international history from the early nineteenth century to the late twentieth century. We will examine the establishment of the Concert of Europe in 1815 and the mechanism of the balance of power as a response to the threat of a universal monarchy and identify the main projects which aimed at either preserving stability in Europe or promoting international harmony; we will analyse the emergence of nation-states in an age of high imperialism in the 1800s and the development of concepts of nationality and national identity; the interdependent relationship between the development of international law, the rise of a global economy, the effects of colonialism, and the establishment of transnational networks of ideas and people; how the First and the Second World Wars changed warfare in the first half of the twentieth century; the emergence of international organizations and the rise of globalism; the rise of challenges to the liberal order; the establishment of bipolarity post-1945 and the Cold War; the creation of the Third World and the centrality of development projects and ideas to imaginings of the world order; the expansion of international institutions and regimes; and the gradual rise of a multipolar world in the late 1980s. The course seeks to help students examine problems empirically through the analysis of primary and secondary sources, to evaluate evidence and arguments and to produce their own in writing.

2. Semester

Theory of International Relations: War and Peace (90h) This course introduces students to IR theoretical frameworks on war and peace. At first, it explores war from the perspective of the international system: why and under what circumstances do states break into war against each other or maintain a state of peace among themselves? What is the relation between war and the system of states? Then, the course focuses on domestic politics and the conditionings that shape government's’ actions on matters of war and peace. It explores examples of instrumentalization of international use of force by domestic political disputes and the capture of the foreign agenda by economic, military, religious, and moral groups of interest. In this segment, the course presents in details the democratic peace theory, which states that the typical diffusion of power of democratic orders hampers the recurrence of war among countries alike or even make it impossible. Third, the course discusses the ways through which international institutions coexist with war among nations, while focusing on the UN Security Council and the so-called ‘security communities’ of regional arrangements like NATO. It also examines matters on war and peace in regional environments in Latin America, Middle East, and Asia. Fourth, the course assesses the contexts in which states engage in war against their own citizens either by means of genocide, ethnic cleansing and state terrorism. Finally, students learn about the role of non-state actors in processes of war and peace, especially in civil war and terrorism, which might lead to humanitarian intervention by great powers. Each of these themes will be appraised from conceptual and empirical dimensions, with the support of historical case studies in order to illustrate the theories at stake.

Key concepts: What explains the recurrence of war in international politics? What are the foundations of peace? International system and war: bargain and coercion; imperfect information; theory of alliances; war and the formation of states. Domestic politics and war: the international use of force as an instrument of domestic politics; the military-industrial complex and other groups of interest; democratic peace theory. International institutions and war: collective security and its dilemmas; regionalism and security communities. The state and its citizens: genocide and state terrorism. Non-state violence: civil war and terrorism. Humanitarian intervention.

3. Semester

Theory of International Relations II: International Norms and Institutions (90h) This course prepares students to discuss and analyze the role of international norms and institutions in world politics. The selected literature presents the main variants of Institutionalism, one of the most fruitful and influential research programs of the discipline of IR. In particular, it draws attention to the mechanisms promoting or hindering state cooperation in a system where agreements among states cannot be enforced by means of hierarchical relations. Students will learn how international norms and institutions emerge and how they work. The course will also explore the impact of hegemony and asymmetrical power in international institutions, the influence of domestic politics on a state’s willingness to cooperate in the international arena, and finally, the role of non-state actors in the definition of the terms of cooperation. In particular, students will learn about the extent to which specific institutions provide information, reduce costs of transactions, make states’ commitments credible and constitute focal points of coordination among member states. The course provides students with the training to identify and evaluate each of these components in their own and thereby to assess the performance of these norms and institutions with the support of the conceptual framework of IR. Case studies and historical examples of real international norms and institutions will guide the proposed study.

Key concepts: What are international norms and institutions? How do they work? The relation between international norms and institutions and the state. International regimes. The impact of hegemony on international norms and institutions. The role of non-state actors in international institutions. Case studies: human rights, climate change, financial regulation, and the United Nations Security Council. Assessment of international norms and institutions.

Crime and Society (60h) [Elective with DIREITO GV] The goal of Crime and Society, discipline taught in the first semester of law school, is to provide the student a preliminary vision of the criminal phenomenon in contemporary society. The course combines criminology, criminal policy and criminal law basics, selected so as to provide a minimum theoretical and instrumental arsenal for problem analysis. Next, more specific issues of criminal law and criminal procedural law are addressed, especially conflicts involving the interests of applying substantive law and protecting the rights of the accused. The reflection on the space that has been reserved for criminal law as an instrument for the solution of conflicts will occur using concrete cases. We conclude the course with classes and workshops related to various social problems and public policies adopted to manage these problems, criminal or not. From the theoretical point of view, it is expected that, at the end of the course, the student will be able to handle different theoretical models of explanation of the crime and justification of the sentence.

Society and Culture (30h) [Elective with the School of Social Sciences and Contemporary History/CPDOC] The main objectives of the course are: 1) to provide students with historical foundations that indicate the modern sense of individuality; 2) to accompany in classical literature, history and sociology, the construction of the concepts of culture and civilization in their relation to the constitution of modern society.

Key concepts: Individuality as a historical construct and as a new standard of social and cultural relations. Modernity as the establishment of cultural and civilizational processes that differ from the conceptions and orientations of the pre-industrial period. The emergence of a new type of individual and collective subject: the bourgeois way of life as an ideal of civility. The implications of civilization processes: borders of inclusion and exclusion.

Administrative Law I (60h) [Elective course with DIREITO GV] Do states help or hinder business environment and people’s lives? The search for an answer to this question marked intense theoretical and practical debates in recent years. While some authors and policymakers held optimistic views about the role of the state, others were pessimistic about it, seeing state’s participation as an excess of control and regulation, a detrimental aspect of social life and private entrepreneurship. Few years after the debate started, there is mounting evidence that both approaches are inaccurate: states are indeed a relevant agent in the social and economic spheres, but its performance is set to compromise the organization of society and the business environment if it is not well designed. In light of this, what role can administrative law perform? If we take into account that a well organized and satisfactorily disciplined state is set to be a key factor in the development and progress of society, administrative law exters a strategic role. It is up to this segment the mission to organize public service and bring discipline to the relations between the public and the private spheres. This course seeks to introduce students to the gears of state administration and the relations between the state and society. For this end, it is divided into two parts, which refer to the two major functions of administrative law in the organization of the state and society: namely, (i) the shield and (ii) the sword. The ‘shield’ refers to the mechanisms pertaining to the state’s action and control of public good. The ‘sword’, in turn, represents the positive actions taken by the state for the fulfillment of policies. In this scenario, this course seeks to provide students with the skills to recognize and work with the main theoretical concepts that constitute the law in charge of public-private relations. For this end, this course stimulates future professionals - lawyers,

34

state officials, scholars, or policymakers - to adopt a realistic and pragmatic attitude, one that recognizes that the importance of the state and how crucial its categories are.
