Events of global impact represent a daily occurrence in the 21st century. Our living conditions have been transformed over the course of the last 25 years as a result of the course of political phenomena, the environmental crisis, the technological boom and economic processes of unprecedented dimensions, even to the point of converting the need for responses to the challenges of the present in primordial horizon. Regardless of what field of knowledge it is, interest in international affairs has increased throughout the world as a result of the disorienting environment of the changing reality, due to the margins of uncertainty of the risk society in the twilight of the Cold War, the ideological vacuum and the parallel consolidation of Globalization.
The awakening of international studies has also been an opportunity to give its place to strategic thinking and prospective calculation, as well as recognition of the relevant role of interculturality in exchange between nations. Peru does not escape this widespread trend, therefore, an academic program inclined to address topics such as the construction of international cooperation models, the study of the international panorama from a cultural approach, the role of diplomacy beyond the State, the multifactorial analysis of phenomena with international impact and the design of policies with an emphasis on the defense of cultural diversity.
On the other hand, in the offer of diploma courses on this topic, a strong load of content linked to law is observed, leaving aside the aspect of training and training itself in other areas of international studies. The Diploma in Geopolitics and International Relations aims to reverse this situation and explore the reality of the world of international politics and global phenomena, emphasizing the terms of cultural, social and economic exchange between international actors of emerging influence.
This Diploma covers both legal aspects and other variables, usually undervalued in other academic programs, such as the historical and cultural context of societies; international communication; theory of international relations; planning and cooperation and reflection on globalization and its impact on cultures. In addition, this UDEP diploma explores other disciplines such as politics, economics, humanitarian aid, human rights ethics, intercultural dialogue and the collection of intercultural negotiation or mediation techniques.
