(in Polish) Nurty teoretyczne subdyscyplin nauki o polityce i administracji

obligatory courses

20h, conversation lecture

Within the discipline of political science and administration (NoPiA), there are several subdisciplines indicating key areas of research within the discipline: i.e. political science, administration science, public policies and social policy science, international relations studies and European studies. Within them, common paradigms and theoretical perspectives have developed, but also theories or theoretical approaches specific to individual subdisciplines. The aim of the course is for doctoral students to acquire in-depth knowledge of the latter: their essence, main assumptions, advantages (primarily explanatory value) and limitations. Doctoral students will learn the main works of the most important representatives of theories and theoretical approaches within the subdisciplines of NoPiA. Particular emphasis will be placed on the possibilities of their application to the study of important issues within a given subdiscipline. Subject taught by representatives of each of the NoPiA subdisciplines.
