Outline (in English)

(Course outline)
We review the history of European international relations from the end of the Middle Ages to the European Union from the perspective of coexistence, cooperation, and legal order, which is different from power struggles between sovereign states. Through this, we will learn from a historical perspective why European countries are able to strengthen their relationships and move toward integration, despite their history of conflict and war.

(Learning Objectives)
Beyond the borders of European countries, we look at the natural, social, economic, religious, and intellectual conditions of the northwestern Eurasian world, observe the relationships between political communities that have arisen there, and examine the process by which they become institutionalized. learn. By doing so, by simply increasing the amount of "knowledge" we can renew our understanding of the relations between European countries, which tend to remain at a superficial understanding of repeating power relations, understand the pluralistic political community, and make use of that understanding. Acquire the ability to compose history.
