| Aim | International relations discipline has a broad purpose in contemporary society, as it seeks to understand: • The nature and exercise of power within the global system • The origins of war and the maintenance of peace • The nature of competition and rivalry among states to derive more power from the global system • The changing character of state and non-state actors who participate in international decision-making Accordingly, this course aims to provide students with an understanding of the changing dynamics of global production, nature of firms and entrepreneurship and introduces the role of the innovation and entrepreneurship in the global political economy. Central goals of the course are to learn the structures and realities behind innovations (both political and economic) and entrepreneurship; consider how innovations might succeed or fail in practice, and why; and provide a balanced assessment of innovations in public and private management domains. For states to become more powerful in the global politics it is essential to have more innovative and entrepreneur citizens. Entrepreneurship and innovation involve "building something from nothing" and successful entrepreneurs know how to manage and mitigate uncertainty and risk. The role of politics is to develop innovative solutions to societal problems; Thus, most studies conceptualize political innovation as substantial changes to the political system motivated by new ideas about politics. The words that are used to describe these political innovations range from democratic innovation (Smith 2009), innovation in democratic governance (Michels 2011) to deliberative innovations (Goodin and Dryzek 2006) and innovative democratic techniques (Goodin and Dryzek 2006). Political innovation is defined as a political mechanism, structure or process that is new to the specific polity. Similarly, Sørensen and Torfing (2011, 849) define innovation as the ‘intentional and proactive process that involves the generation and practical adoption and spread of new and creative ideas, which aim to produce a qualitative change in a specific context’. The definition stipulates that it is not a quantitative change but a qualitative change: doing things differently. |
