OVERVIEW

The course is divided into two parts:

1. A first part general and more theoretical aimed to know the main problems that affect the contemporary world characterized by a high level of multipolarity;

2. A second part more practical aimed to know of how:

• the aging of the population and climate change may affect differently the socio-economic balance of a multipolar world;

• tourism development contributes to unite and divide the contemporary world.
