Basic knowledge of the contemporary history, world politics, geography and changes in global culture.
Students will provide general understanding of the major role of culture in shaping the groups (nations, ethnicities, religions, civilizations) identity. The course will introduce students with a comprehensive understanding of the globalization as a multidimensional process constituted by complex, often contradictory interactions of global, regional, and local aspects of social life. Cultural security is part of the general framework of security of every state, and its inhabitants. The course objective is to present the importance of cultural approach, theoretical background of the concept of the cultural security, cultural conflicts, and social moves against globalization and its power to unify the norms, values and way of life.
