Introduction

Will China eclipse India as a superpower of the future? How will India and other BRICS fare in the changing world order? The rise of the BRICS is transforming our global order.

Cities are home to an increasing share of everyone on earth and this means cities have never been more important. Course description

Course description

Giving an insight into the emergence of these growing ‘giants’ as undeniable economic and political actors in the international system, this course will provide you with the tools necessary to examine and define the BRICS as integrated players in a newly emerging world order. Join Mathilde Chatin to study the impact of the BRICS, both individually and collectively, on the current and future international scenario. This course will be International Relations based, but will also include trans-disciplinary economic perspectives as we look at the emergence of the BRICS. It tackles a range of themes: multilateralism, the reform of international organisations, and the formation of new blocs, BRICS participation in strategic debates on commercial negotiations, climate change, aid, development, and even sports mega-events. Using these scenarios we will explore and compare the respective attitudes and approaches of each BRICS country.

Key statistics

This course explores the crucial junction at which humankind now finds itself. This two-week course set in Delhi will use Delhi and other Indian cities as urban laboratories to explore crucial global urban challenges. Indian cities are some of the largest and fastest growing on the planet and offer a vital lens through which to ask critical concerns such as social issues, politics, urban planning and infrastructure as well as the relationship with the natural environment. Students will, through a mix of lectures, seminars, group work and individual learning exercises, come to understand how cities can be envisioned as organisms containing infinite and complex yet beautiful parts.

Introduction

Course description

In an increasingly interconnected world, opportunities and problems from the Arab Spring to the European identity crisis and the ‘rise’ of Asia have become truly international.

Many countries across the globe have seen prolonged conflict and violence tear apart societies and cause unimaginable death and destruction. Conflict is everywhere on the news and it dominates high level political discussions from inter-state dialogue to forums at the United Nations.

Course description

Designed for all those interested in this unique sphere of academic study, students on this course will use practical case studies to examine approaches within International Relations, from core concepts like power or sovereignty to the specific theories of international politics, such as realist, liberal institutionalist, and constructivist thinking, as well as taking a close look at global governance and international political economy.

How do you put an end to conflict and find a resolution that will eventually lead to a peace agreement?

‘The lectures held my attention and were very engrossing. I think the course has been very helpful in increasing my knowledge of not only theories of International Relations but also the background of it.’ Vishakha Wadhwani Jai Hind College, University of Mumbai

This interdisciplinary course will introduce students to different theories and approaches to the study of international conflict resolution and apply these approaches to specific case studies. Students will engage with the scholarly literature on the subject and will gain an understanding of the complex nature of ethnic, religious, national and sectarian war and evaluate methods for their resolution.

‘It’s a wonderful experience, the students are amazing; I’ve been teaching for 10 years, and rarely have I seen this level of enthusiasm, energy, humour and intelligence.’ Dr Gonzalo Pozo-Martin Faculty for International Political Economy, Delhi Summer School 2013

We will bridge the gap between theoretical insights and practical problems such as the occurrence of war, the role of the United Nations or international responses to climate change. Not only will you gain a broad knowledge of concepts and approaches to study the ‘international’, but also the skill to use these concepts to critically analyse international issues. 10

Leaders aren’t born, they are made. The course therefore takes a hands-on approach to leading and engages students interactively to develop their leadership potential.

What are entrepreneurial behaviours and skills, and why are they important? This course gives you a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and the behaviour and skill sets required to ‘think out of the box’ to identify and pursue opportunities. Course description

It will look at how to identify customer / client needs, the importance of understanding a market and competition, managing risk and idea generation and evaluation techniques. It will use a range of case studies of entrepreneurs, self-assessment models and peer assessment exercises; group and individual project work focussing on entrepreneurial skills; and introduce relevant entrepreneurial management concepts and theories, enabling those who want to be an entrepreneur to fully understand their potential and the value of their ideas.

Innovation is the lifeblood of every company– the fuel that keeps an organisation going in a tough marketplace. It is every manager’s new imperative.

Introduction

How relevant is neuroscience for education? This course offers you the chance to examine how research on the human brain is used in education and how interaction between the neurosciences and educationalists could make real sense. Course description

‘Attending the King’s Summer School has helped with the internships I’ve applied for since. I think the ability to learn over and above what is taught to you by default, is always a valued trait. The Summer School surrounded me with so many thoughts, ideas and people that I felt like I could stretch out into the air, grab a new perspective and try in on like a hat, a feeling that hasn’t left me.’ Sneha Menon International Political Economy

It provides an insight into the history of brain research, including rare glimpses into the brain’s development and functions thanks to neuroimaging techniques. We will discuss important educational implications of neuroscientific findings on learning, brain development and developmental disorders or cognitive deficits such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD before exploring research on the mind, brain, and education as well translation issues including the use and misuse of neuroscience in the field of education.

‘Our students have benefitted immensely from this international exposure. This knowledge sharing has developed a strong bond across the globe in the intellectual community of students and teachers. I would like to thank King’s College London and their faculty for their contribution in this venture.’ Dr Ashok Wadia Principal, Jai Hind College, University of Mumbai

Students will acquire a theoretically and empirically-based understanding of neuroscientific theories, findings and research techniques and their educational relevance. You’ll be able to critically analyse evidence relating to the debate between education and neuroscience. Not only that, you’ll be able to detect ideologies and nonscientific interests in the emerging field of mind, brain, and education.

Introduction

What is the applicable law that governs trans-border commerce? How can disputes arising in this global environment be settled effectively?

The iconic ‘Hollywood’ sign situated in the hills of Los Angeles stands now as both a symbol and a relic of the US film industry. Various famous studio brands that have traded under that sign are collectively responsible for some of the most popular and profitable films of all time.

Course description

Transnational corporations form an omnipresent and powerful force in today’s world. They impact and mould legal and administrative practices across global boundaries. The course ‘International Commercial Law’ provides a sound understanding of central ‘principals’, relevant institutions and actors dealing with international commerce. The course, furthermore, covers topical aspects of contemporary dispute settlement mechanisms in international business law. This takes into account the role of domestic and international litigation, and includes international arbitration, ranging from ad hoc tribunals over state-to-state proceedings in international trading relations to investor-state arbitration. Through theoretical analysis and elements of practical training, the course provides participants with an understanding of crucial basic concepts underlying the evolvement of international commerce.

‘The Summer School was absolutely incredible, widely interesting, thoroughly thought provoking, and holistically motivating.’

Course description

Yet, Hollywood represents far more than any concept of a national product, and its global impact has both hindered and inspired filmmaking movements from post-war Europe to contemporary Bollywood. This course asks students to consider the unavoidable impact Hollywood has made on global cinema culture. By analysing the formal and stylistic conventions that characterise Hollywood filmmaking: such as the studio system, stardom, genre and the blockbuster, we will place these in dialogue with a number of different filmmaking styles from historical and national contexts including the French New Wave, Spaghetti Western and the contemporary Bollywood franchise in order to challenge assumptions made about Hollywood’s cultural and artistic impact.

Introduction

In this course we will consider Shakespeare in both his local and global contexts. We begin with an examination of early modern London, the city Shakespeare called home for many years, and the theatre industry in which he worked.

Introduction

How does gender organise contemporary life? What role does media play in shaping cultural attitudes and social practices? How can we understand gender inequality on a global scale? What impact is globalisation having on contemporary media? Course description

Exploring these and other questions, this course will examine gender, media and culture in transnational perspective. You will gain a critical foundation in gender theory and media studies, considering issues such as the representation of women in news media, constructions of gender and sexuality in advertising, and the influence of global capitalism on contemporary media forms. In dedicated workshops you will learn how to critically analyse media texts including newspapers, advertising, television and film. We will study debates over the democratising potential of online media, using case studies such as the Everyday Sexism Project to think through some of the ways social media might be used as a tool of social change. Invited guest speakers – including journalists, film-makers and activists – will give you insight on how to develop a career in the media. 20

Course description

We will investigate the social, cultural and economic influences that affected his writing, and how his plays made use of the performance conditions of the Globe Theatre. In our second week, we focus on Shakespeare in the twenty-first century and the ways in which this early modern playwright has become a global cultural phenomenon. We will consider the extent to which Shakespeare is a universalising force across cultures, and how our current understanding of his work contrasts with the original contexts for its production.
