The aim of the Module ΠΙΘ522 is to acquaint students with selected subjects of modern European and international history. In this context, the course ΠΙΘ522 is not a conventional modern history course. Rather, it aims to emphasize those historical aspects that are related to present developments, contributing in this way on a comprehensive understanding of current politics. Broad knowledge regarding European and international history is a critical stepping-stone for someone who is actively involved in current politics. The reason is that Greece and Cyprus are part of a complex international environment, which exerts great influence upon them in almost every aspect. Comprehension of specific critical dimensions of European and international history is also a necessary prerequisite for a precise conception of international interrelations. Accordingly, systematic knowledge in relation to major global conflicts and their historical development is equally essential. The opportunity to delve into research and bibliographic aspects of important conflicts of the recent past, such as the two World Wars, but also of essential current disputes, such as the Palestinian, Syrian and Kurdish Questions, broadens the horizons of political conceptions. In addition, it builds the prerequisites of positive contributions to current political discussions regarding the position of Greece and the Republic of Cyprus in the international system. The Module ΠΙΘ522 is divided in 4 Parts:
- 1st Part: The Cold War
- 2nd Part: Decolonisation and the emergence of the Third World
- 3rd Part: The European Unification
- 4th Part: The Middle East Conflict
