Europe: Russia “International Relations Theories and Critical Thinking Queries”

Teaching at St. Petersburg University at the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, I am covering International relations theories in several of my courses: Introduction to International Relations, International Political Economy, International Organizations and Institutions. I put a strong emphasis on reading critically through the IR theories academic literature and on the variety of assignments stimulating students to learn by reading, writing, presenting, working with groups, and researching. In my opinion, the best conclusion for the course is a satisfied student who learned, created, and had fun during the course.
