本課程上學期討論國際安全，下學期則是探討國際政治經濟。雖然這兩個部份被分開處理，但是在理論和實際上都有相互重疊的部份，授課者嘗試運用主宰，互惠和認同等三個核心概念突顯這項事實This course discusses international security in the first semester and international political economy in the second semester. Although these two parts are treated separately, there are overlaps in theory and practice. The lecturer attempts to highlight this fact by using three core concepts of dominance, reciprocity and identity.
