Syllabus

WEEK 1
Introduction
Notre monde globalisé nécessite une nouvelle approche de l’international, en rupture avec les théories classiques.
Les inégalités
Les principaux indicateurs économiques et sociaux montrent un monde inégal et instable.

WEEK 2
Le régionalisme
De nouveaux types d’intégration, et particulièrement des constructions régionales fragiles, remettent en question le territoire de l’État-nation.

WEEK 3
Les acteurs mondiaux
Les États-nation ne sont plus les seuls acteurs internationaux. De nombreux groupes et 7 milliards d’individus sont aujourd’hui des acteurs potentiels du système international.

WEEK 4
La mondialisation
La mondialisation est un processus complexe qui remet en question les principaux aspects de l’ordre mondial.

WEEK 5
Les identités
L’identité est une notion à revoir et à considérer comme une construction sociale et politique.

WEEK 6
Religions
La religion est perçue comme un paramètre majeur de l’ordre mondial contemporain, mais cette vision est simpliste.

WEEK 7
L’État-nation
L’État-nation est-il encore fonctionnel partout dans le monde ?

WEEK 8
La puissance
La puissance a-t-elle encore un sens et une efficacité ?

WEEK 9
Guerre et paix
La spécificité des nouveaux conflits internationaux implique de nouveaux traitements.

WEEK 10

La polarisation et le multilatéralisme sont les nouvelles caractéristiques du système international après 1945. La première est probablement dépassée et la seconde contestée.

Ethics in Action (edX)

What do the world’s great religious and secular philosophies have to say about ethical conduct? Which virtues are common across faiths? And what role do religious communities have to play in building a more just and sustainable world? The challenges of sustainable development are more than technical or political—they are also moral, calling on us to examine who we are as human beings, and who we want to be going forward.

Intellectual Humility: Science (Coursera)

It’s clear that the world needs more intellectual humility. But how do we develop this virtue? And why do so many people still end up so arrogant? Do our own biases hold us back from becoming as intellectually humble as we could be—and are there some biases that actually make us more likely to be humble? Which cognitive dispositions and personality traits give people an edge at being more intellectually humble - and are they stable from birth, learned habits, or something in between? And what can contemporary research on the emotions tell us about encouraging intellectual humility in ourselves and others?

Philosophy, Science and Religion: Science and Philosophy (Coursera)

Philosophy, Science and Religion mark three of the most fundamental modes of thinking about the world and our place in it. Are these modes incompatible? Put another way: is the intellectually responsible thing to do to ‘pick sides’ and identify with one of these approaches at the exclusion of others? Or, are they complementary or mutually supportive? As is typical of questions of such magnitude, the devil is in the details. For example, it is important to work out what is really distinctive about each of these ways of inquiring about the world. In order to gain some clarity here, we’ll be investigating what some of the current leading thinkers in philosophy, science and religion are actually doing.
