Course Description
Throughout history, international relations have always discussed three conditions, namely; (1) Coexistence; (2) Conflict; and (3) Cooperation. This course aims to introduce students to the basic characteristics of international cooperation and the empirical mechanisms/frameworks that shape international cooperation. International cooperation itself requires facilitation to achieve a level of alignment of interests between countries.
Expected Learning Outcome
- Understand the background, basic principles, and motivations of various actors in international cooperation, particularly in the field of international development, through theorization and conceptualization as developed within the realist, idealist, and constructivist traditions of thought in the study of international relations.
- Offer empirical observations on various phenomena and aspects of international development cooperation by taking cases of cooperation between countries at the bilateral, regional, and multilateral levels.
- Explore four selected case studies of international development cooperation: Indonesia-Japan relations, digital data, the circular economy, and post-pandemic tourism.
