Programme Structure
The aim of the summer school is to examine the Black Sea and the Caucasus region in its cultural, political, and economic dimensions. Centered on Georgia, where both the maritime and mountainous landscapes and cultures meet, but treating other countries of the region from a comparative viewpoint, the school will give a broad outline of the topic but offer in-depth studies on focal issues that throw light on recent conflicts and time-old cooperative patterns, intersections between culture and political processes, security environment and economic development.
To achieve this, the course on Black Sea and Caucasus: Diversity, Conflicts and Networks covers four distinctive but interrelated themes:
- THEME 1: NATURE AND CULTURE
- THEME 2: INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND THE SECURITY DYNAMICS IN THE CAUCASUS AND THE BLACK SEA REGIO
- THEME 3: STATE, POLITICS AND SOCIETY IN BLACK SEA AND CAUCASUS REGION
- THEME 4: ECONOMY OF BLACK AND CASPIAN SEA COUNTRIES
