Introduction
The program of Global Studies specialty in International Relations is directed to all international and Polish prospective students who would like to understand the mechanisms of globalization and the dependences between local and global events and phenomena.
General description
The main assumption of global studies is to concentrate on globalization as a main research and teaching subject. It does not analyze globalization from the point of view of the national state. Instead global studies put globalization in the center and study it as a complex and autonomous process that imposes specified and similar conditions to all national and international actors. Global Studies are hardly defined by the assumptions and methods of any of the contemporary sciences. Instead, they have a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary character, as they join diverse theoretical approaches of economy, international relations, political sciences, anthropology, sociology, area studies, cultural and ethnic studies, but also some elements of natural sciences such as the earth and life sciences or physics.
