| MA Program in International Relations & Cultural Diplomacy. ICD & DIU Master of Arts Program in International Relations and Cultural DiplomacyThe Institute for Cultural Diplomacy in Cooperation with Dubrovnik International University Berlin, from March 12, 2012 The Degree While the study of political science has been a cherished tradition of academia, recent developments demand the identification of entirely new theories and models. An understanding of the challenges faced by the contemporary world requires an interdisciplinary approach; International Relations and Diplomacy should not be understood only as disciplines of Political Science or Political Theory, but also be interpreted from the perspective of art and culture, economics, law, and other social sciences. Offered by the DIU in partnership with the ICD, the program combines the traditional academic components of international relations with a focus on the role of soft power and cultural diplomacy in contemporary global affairs. Only with a comprehensive understanding of the theory, history and practice of International Relations one can properly understand and apply cultural diplomacy. The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy is an international, not-for-profit, non-governmental organization with headquarters in Berlin, Germany. The goal of the ICD is to promote global peace and stability by strengthening and supporting intercultural relations at all levels. Over the past decade the ICD has grown to become one of Europe’s largest independent cultural exchange organizations, hosting programs that facilitate interaction among individuals of all cultural, academic, and professional backgrounds, from across the world. |
