Geopolitics – a scientific discipline a little over a century old, primarily considered to be the Spatial Dimension of Politics – is a vital tool for understanding and explaining the complex reality that surrounds us.
The Advanced Studies Course in Geopolitics, launched in a partnership between the National Defence Institute (IDN) and the Autonomous University of Lisbon (UAL), aims precisely to provide an in-depth understanding of the behaviour and interactions of Communities, States and Regions far beyond the ‘foam of days’.
It combines, ‘quantum satis’, physical, human and economic geography with the ‘laws’ of geopolitics – from its various perspectives – as well as history, culture, strategy, political science and international relations, all under the serene, omnipresent and never neutral gaze of the geographical stage where people’s lives unfold.
The course will take place in person at IDN Lisbon and IDN Porto. Those living or working in other districts of the country or abroad can attend remotely/online via zoom.
