The student has advanced knowledge regarding the impact of civilization and cultural conditions on state security issues. It is primarily about knowing the historical, religious and tradition context and their impact on international politics. This means that states acting in the international arena are not only guided by their interests, but also have numerous limitations related to culture or history that influence the decision-making process of political elites. [W01] |
BM_1_W02 [3/5] |
The student has advanced knowledge of the processes taking place within countries, as well as between countries, which have their source in culture, religion and economics. This concerns, among other things, the impact of economic inequality on the political or social stability of countries. It is worth paying attention to the causes of mass migrations in the modern world, which concern both economic migrants and war refugees. A very important element influencing the security of modern countries is the dynamic development of new forms of mass communication, including the role of social media in election campaigns, disinformation operations, and the spread of false information.
