 Annotation: 
The course introduces students into the tradition of international thought presenting its most important streams. It starts with the evolution of the discipline of IR illustrated by its great debates. Following this, ontological and epistemological problems in IR research are examined. Finally, the course addresses individual traditions and streams; realism, liberalism, postmodern and constructivist approaches to the study of IR, scientism, Marxism, feminism and green political theory in IR. 
 Course objectives: 
The course aims to provide an advanced understanding of the development of the international thinking. All those taking the course will be expected to become familiar with a defined set of readings and issues. Teaching methods: 
The course consists of 12 lectures. Attendance of the weekly class is strongly recommended. Students are expected to have read and familiarized themselves with all the set readings to individual lectures. Given the considerable load of reading, systematic work through the whole semester is strongly recommended. 
 Learning outcomes: 
After completing the course, students should be able to identify the structure of the International Relations Theory field, explain the circumstances of emergence of individual schools, traditions and approaches, distinguish the ontological and epistemological positions of theories, recognize the topics and problems addressed by these theories and evaluate the relevance of these for the progress of international thinking in particular areas/topics. 
 Course assessment: 
This course is examined by means of a one and half-hour written examination consisting of questions covering both the lectures and readings. Readings are available in electronic versions to students enrolled in the course (see attached files). Course structure: 29 SeptemberThe discipline of international relations (BP)Wight, Martin (1995) Why is there no IR theory?
