science and sociology.
The students would read, discuss and criticize the international relations theories with the most influence, to
evaluate with logical strength as its empirical validity.
The course would begin with a discussion of the international relations discipline and the philosophical
traditions behind the principle theories that search an explanation for the behavior of the international society.
After this, attention would be paid to the study of the three thought current with most influence of the
international relations discipline: The realism, the pluralism (trans-nationalism or liberalism) and globalization
(structuralism). Each one of these theoretical traditions tries to explain the conflictive or cooperative behavior
of the different international agents (governments, multinational firms, international organisms, NGO’s, etc.
The links between economy and international relations are studied by a branch of the international relations
discipline that receive the name of IPE (international Political Economy) mainly developed by the London
school of economics and political sciences who has as its principal representative Susan Strange. The
