The course provides basic theoretical and methodological knowledge for the analysis of the organization of territorial systems and socio-economic issues of the contemporary world from a geographical perspective.
In line with the training objectives defined by the Degree Course, the expected learning outcomes can also be declined on the basis of the Dublin Descriptors: 1) Knowledge and understanding. The course facilitates the study of theories and methods of geographical analysis. The main objective is to make national and international territorial political practices understood. 2) Ability to apply knowledge and understanding. The goal is to make students able to understand the dynamics and the conceptual and application tools of local policies, government and governance so that they can acquire critical knowledge and understanding. 3) Autonomy of judgment. Build your own vision of the problems and solutions to be proposed regarding the elements of discrimination and territorial marginalization (economic, social, political, environmental sustainability). 4) Communication skills. Students will be encouraged to intervene in class and to express critical judgments on the topics studied and to test the acquisition of geographical language through intermediate tests in the course. 5) Learning skills. Be able to describe social, political and geographical phenomena and processes. This ability will be developed through the active involvement of students through oral discussions in the classroom on current issues, the screening and critical analysis of videos and contemporary topics. 6) Ability to analyse specific geopolitical contexts, with particular attention to the geopolitics of immigration, pandemics and the environment.

(syllabus)
The course provides students with theoretical and methodological knowledge and best practices on Economic-Political Geography. Through a multi-sectoral and multi-scalar analysis typical of the subject, the course intends to offer useful tools to analyse international geopolitical and geo-economic scenarios by linking geographical, political and economic factors with environmental, energy, cultural and social ones. The main areas of study of the course concern first of all human geography in its effects on international relations, the theory and practice of the geopolitical action of sovereign states and supranational bodies, with specific attention to the causes, consequences and possible solutions of the numerous global crises, such as the protection of the environment, security, energy sources, and foodstuffs. A special section is focused on the following case studies: the geopolitics of immigration in the Euro-Mediterranean space; the geopolitics of the pandemic; the geopolitics of sovereignist and neo-populist movements.

(syllabus)
The first module will deal with the theories of the geographer Jean Gottmann, and in particular his analysis of the concept of territory understood both as a system of political compartments and as a space of networks, bringing the student closer to understanding the genesis processes of the geographical regions, of the State-nation and other forms of historical sovereignty. In the second module, theories and geographical schools will be analyzed, divided into three historical periods: 1) between 1875 and 1945 there is a strong relationship between power and knowledge which sees political geographers at the service of their respective nation States; 2) during the Cold War, scholars place themselves in increasingly critical perspectives towards their own State; 3) after the break-up of the USSR, attention is focused on some of the main challenges for the modern nation-State, both on the demographic and migration level, and on the level of economic globalization.
