The course aims to analyze and explore thoroughly the fundamental concepts of political geography in the light of the profound changes of the society. After briefly examining the theory and methods of geographical sciences, we will analyze the relationship between humans and nature, the distribution and structure of the human population, the demographic trends and urban development. In fact we live in a world that is constantly changing, where the geographical knowledge are central to the well-being of our societies, which is why a part of the course will examine the relationship between geography and technological innovations which open up new horizons in creating maps and techniques for the visualization of geographic information that enable us to see, explore and understand the global and local processes.

Although in the past the word "strategy" was usually confined to the military world, this term is currently common within numerous fields from economy to sport.
This course covers the concept of strategy as it relates to security, with a special focus on how the military armed forces are used strategically for political purposes.
The course is designed to provide the analytical tools required for a clear understanding of modern strategy issues and deepens the rationale related to the use of military force for political purposes.
Students are encouraged to attend lessons in order to enhance their understanding of this complex topic and to increase their ability to evaluate the use of military armed forces by the political establishment within the broad context of the modern world.
The course is divided into two parts: the first focusing on the key concepts of strategy and security, the latter aiming to describe the evolution of the military instrument during modern history.

THIS COURSE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS:
PART 1) THE KEY CONCEPTS OF STRATEGY:
*War, peace and politics
*War from Carl von Clausewitz's perspective
*Conflicts and strategy
*Strategic forces and space-time dimensions
*Attack and defense
* Principles of military art, strategy, geography and technology.

PART 2) UNDERSTANDING OF THE EVOLUTION OF THE MILITARY IN RECENT TIME
*Use of Force: from Napoleon to Clausewitz; the World Wars.
*The Cold War confrontation: from the German rearmament question after WWII and the European Defense Community to the search for a new way.
*War amongst people: modern operations; setting the purpose for the use of force; using force amongst the people.

REQUIRED Reading list: 1. Rupert Smith, L'arte della guerra nel mondo contemporaneo, Il Mulino, Bologna 2009 (ISBN 9788815132604).

2. Stefano Filippi, Alleati contro, Bruno Mondadori, Milano 2016 (ISBN 9788867741700).

The course aims to provide the key concepts of political science, starting from the problem of the definition of matter itself, both in its historical manifestations, and above all because of the theoretical elements that constitute it. In this sense, the main methodological institutes of political science will be analyzed, the themes and research prospects that are at the heart of contemporary politics will be deepened: from parties to pressure groups, from electoral systems to the problems of political representation to the functioning of parliaments; from the transformations of democracy to the new challenges brought to it by populist movements and parties, from totalitarianism to the interactions between economy and politics in the logic of globalization.

1. Political Science: what is and its history
2. Methodology
3. Political Participation
