Learning unit contents
The seminar on the international relations of the West Mediteranean has as objective to introduce the students to the main contemporary political issues of the great Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania). The proposed approach is multi-disciplinar and draws its interpretative tools of the international relations of the region from political science, history, sociology, anthropology and economy among others. The seminar is subdivided into six main themes: the external relations of the European Union with Maghreb countries, the political systems of the region, the regional conflicts, the question of political islam and the issue of migration.
