Scientists from Italy gave lectures at BelSU

 Irene Guerrini and Marco Pluviano, scientists from Turin University Center of Modern History, visited Belgorod State University.

The visit was arranged within the framework of cooperation for science and education between the BelSU chair of International Relations and Ukrainian Studies, and Center of Modern History of Turin University. It was already the second visit of Italian scientists to Belgorod State University.  

Irene Guerrini and Marco Pluviano spoke to the BelSU students of the history of international relations, main trends of Italy’s external policy during the World War I, fascism’s origins and nature, and the current political order in Italy.

The lecture was followed by a panel discussion on some of the key contemporary issues of international relations. The guest scientists discussed with the students and faculty members of Institute of Cross-Cultural Communications and International Relations the contemporary issues and problems associated with international relations and global development, the problems of fascism and nationalism, and the roots of the US-Syria conflict. The Italian scientists noted that efficient development of international relations today is impossible without international dialogue.

 «BelSU students are inquiring and concerned students, interested in international relations history and keen to discovering causal links in international conflicts,” said Marco Pluviano at the end of discussion.
