The module is organised on lectures, discussion-based sessions and learning activities. The lectures combine a structured transmission of knowledge and analytical IPE perspectives with empirical evidences, practical questions and case studies.The discussion-based classes aim to stimulate students’ capacity to problematise and produce well-informed arguments grounded on lecture contents, article journals, reports, video-conferences and data gathered from international organisations, experts’ writings in newspapers and think-tank perspectives.The e-learning activities complement classroom learning activities, providing students with resources, a wide range of activities and tutorial orientation.
