| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
The course focuses on core concepts, theories, and debates
in political science, political economy and international
relations. It considers institutions, processes, actors, and
ideas across different settings as well as theories about the
ways in which political systems work at a national and
international level.
The course also introduces students to basic assignment-writing
techniques, in particular the construction of
structured arguments. These are skills that are relevant in
academic study and business careers.
In relation to Nordic Nine
IBP Political Science addresses the transformational
capabilities specified in CBS's Nordic Nine. In particular, the
course seeks to place business knowledge within a broad context
(N1), emphasizes analytical approaches to date and fosters
curiosity about inherent ambiguities (N2), develops critical
thinking and constructive forms of collaboration when working on
tasks and projects (N6).
