“Core Concepts and Issues in International Relations”
Alexandra Gheciu, University of Ottawa
Email: agheciu@uottawa.ca
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course introduces students to the field of International Relations (IR). We shall begin with a broad
examination of the core concepts and assumptions that underpin the main IR theories, and we’ll
proceed with an analysis of the ways in which those concepts have shaped thinking about specific
problems and developments in world politics.
Students enrolled in this course will have the unique opportunity to study in a truly international
environment, and thus to be exposed to a variety of ways of thinking about the theory and practice of
international relations. Thus, the course will be co-taught by a Canadian professor and an Italian
academic, and will bring together Canadian and Italian students. Furthermore, the course will be
relatively small, thus giving students the opportunity to interact extensively with the professors as well
as their classmates.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The course seeks to provide students with an IR foundation that will enable them to pursue more
specialized research in our field, or to pursue careers in fields (including work in government,
international organisations, business and the media) which require a solid grasp of international affairs.
Students are expected to engage critically with the IR literature, and to demonstrate a good
understanding of key issues and concepts both orally and in writing. By the end of the term, students
should display solid analytic skills and communication proficiency, and should be able to critically
compare the assumptions, hypotheses, explanatory power and politics of most major IR theories across
various domains.

Final Essay (around 3,500 words) – (40%) due on July 24
Oral presentation (25%)
Please note that regular class attendance is necessary in order to successfully complete this course.
Research Proposal
The first stage in the production of each student’s research essay involves the formulation of a research
proposal (expected length: 2-3 pages, double-spaced). The proposal should include: a title, a research
question and an explanation of its importance; an outline of the proposed essay (2-3 paragraphs that
present the key arguments to be developed in each section of the essay); as well as a preliminary
bibliography.
Essays:
Each student is expected to write an essay of about 3,000 words. Suggested essay topics will be
assigned in class.The essay must include footnotes and a bibliography.
This is a traditional essay—that means that students are expected to display the critical analytic skills
developed in the course of this term. You are explicitly asked to develop your own argument in relation
to the questions, not simply restate the views of others. The essay could be a purely theoretical paper
(e.g. a comparison of the ways in which two IR theories conceptualise a particular aspect of
international politics), or could be a paper with a strong empirical component. More details regarding
the paper will be provided in class.
Oral presentations:
Each student will be expected to give an oral presentation in class. The presentation should focus on a
key concept or problem addressed in the readings. The dates of presentations will be discussed in
class. Presentations should include a brief summary of the arguments developed in the reading(s) (in
terms of their ideological and theoretical position as well as empirical, normative and/or policy
content), as well as a critical analysis (anything from meta-theory to ethics to policy). Each presentation
should end with a couple of questions/issues to be discussed in class, and each presenter should be
ready to answer questions regarding the relevant readings from the rest of class. Highly recommended
is a written component of the presentation in the form of a hand-out (2 pages max) and/or a
PowerPoint (10 slides max), to be distributed via email the evening before class . You will be graded
on the quality of your argument (ability to carry it from the beginning to the end in a clear and concise
fashion and using cogent logic) and delivery thereof (mechanics, organization, flow).
