B0341 - WORKSHOPS ON EASTERN EUROPE AND EURASIA

Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

The workshops aim to analyze some of the most relevant issues on Eastern European and Eurasian politics and cultures, vividly related to current debates and events. Experts and practitioners offer workshops that combine an academic/theoretical perspective with an expertise frequently gained on the ground. The workshops focus on the evolving political systems and regional security situations, and/or on the most recent cultural changes in transitional societies, including the role of media in mirroring the reality. At the end of the workshops, the students are expected to have acquired theoretical and practical knowledge of the issues above mentioned as well as the ability of applying and reporting this knowledge to the different contexts/case studies analyzed.
