THE COURSE IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR MODULES, ANALYZING THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTEMPORARY INSTITUTIONS IN THE GLOBAL POLITICAL CONTEXT. THE FIRST MODULE ANALYZES WITH AN OVERALL PICTURE THE CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATIC AND THE COMMUNIST BLOCS THAT SHAPED OR CONDITIONED THE FORMATION OF NEW LINES OF GLOBAL ORGANIZATION VERIFIABLE WITH CIVIL CONFLICTS, REGIME CRISES, THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATIVE IDENTITIES. THE SECOND MODULE ANALYZES THE TRIUMPH OF CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE SECOND GLOBALIZATION, INTEGRATING THE WHOLE WORLD OR ALMOST INTO A SINGLE MARKET OF GOODS, RELATIONS AND CAPITAL. CONVERSELY, TWO RESISTANCE MOVEMENTS DEVELOPED IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE ISLAMIC WORLD, WITH OPPOSING BUT CONVERGING PROJECTS, IN OPPOSITION TO THE LIBERALIZATION OF SOCIETY, RIGHTS AND THE ECONOMY. THE THIRD MODULE ANALYZES THE REBALANCING OF GLOBAL POWER TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE US AND ESPECIALLY EUROPE, WITH THE NEW REORGANIZATION OF THE LOCATION OF PRODUCTION SITES AND THE EXPONENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION. THE FOURTH MODULE ANALYZES THE CURRENT WORLD. THE EXIT FROM THE GREAT CRISIS WAS CONDITIONED BY THE SHOCKS SUFFERED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE US, WITH THE AFFIRMATION OF RADICAL POLITICAL FORCES AND THE WITHDRAWAL FROM THE GLOBAL CHESSBOARD. INSTEAD, THE RUSSIAN AND CHINESE POWERS HAVE PROPOSED THEMSELVES AS THE PROTAGONISTS OF A FAR-REACHING ALTERNATIVE, BOTH FOR THE SOLIDITY OF THE LEADERSHIP GROUPS AND FOR THE CONTROL OF RAW MATERIALS OR GLOBAL PRODUCTION. THE PANDEMIC THAT SPREAD IN 2020 SHOWED A DIRECT CONFRONTATION BETWEEN AUTOCRACIES AND DEMOCRACIES IN MANAGING THE CRISIS, SHIFTING THE COMPETITION FOR GLOBAL POWER RELATIONS TO THE LEVEL OF HEALTH EFFICIENCY, ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS. |
