Every country has a tendency to consider itself as the centre of a system. And although the reality is different, it is this representation that is structuring the geopolitical behavior. This course will accordingly provide the students a vision of geopolitics that will give them the opportunity to understand the insertion of the European Union- atypical power, fluctuating between an integrated international organization and a confederation of states- in the regional and systemic balance of power, in the geo-economical and geo-strategical current issues.
