Please describe the contents of the module here. The degree of
abstraction in the description depends on whether the module always
consists of the same courses and lectures with clearly defined contents
or whether the topics of the individual courses and lectures vary from
semester to semester.
Example: The contents of a module called 'Regions in the International
System' should be described abstractly since the individual
courses/lectures within the module cover different regions:
Examination of economics, society and politics in the respective region;
their interaction with the international environment; comparison of
different developmental paths; effects of globalisation and
regionalisation processes.
