Abulafia (2020). A large part of the course will be devoted to global maritime connections from the early modern age to the present day, with particular reference to international issues in relation to the control and exploitation of maritime spaces and their legal regulation. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims to analyze the general features and historiographical interpretations of maritime history with particular reference to global issues and the connections between the different geographical areas that were created by sea between the Middle Ages and the contemporary age. In addition, great attention will be paid to the issues of international relations in relation to the control and safety of maritime routes between the end of the Middle Ages and the contemporary age AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims to analyse the general outlines and historiographical interpretations of maritime history with particular reference to global issues and the connections between the different geographical areas that were created by sea between the Middle Ages and the contemporary age. Furthermore, great attention will be paid to the issues of international relations in relation to the control and security of maritime routes between the late Middle Ages and the contemporary age. The course is part of the training of future practitioners in the field of globalisation and its development, in issues related to the defence of the environment, with particular attention to the sea, and more generally to international relations. By the end of the course students should have acquired knowledge in the field of maritime history in relation to the phenomenon of globalisation between the early modern and the contemporary age.

Smith's (2013) definition, maritime history is the study of human interaction with the sea and its activities. It covers a broad thematic element of history, often using a global approach, although many national and regional histories still remain predominant. As an academic discipline, it crosses the chronological boundaries of traditional historical subjects, focusing on understanding humanity's various relationships with the world's oceans, seas and major waterways. Maritime history encompasses numerous topics including: fishing, whaling, international maritime law, naval history, history of ships, ship design, ship building, history of navigation, history of the various sciences related to the sea (oceanography, cartography, hydrography, etc.), exploration of the sea, and the history of the sea. ), the exploration of the sea, maritime economy and trade, navigation, yachting, seaside resorts, the history of lighthouses and aids to navigation, maritime themes in literature, maritime themes in art, the social history of seafarers and passengers and sea-related communities, and much more. Space will also be given to the use of maritime inoconography from different historical periods in relation to artistic commissions and the use of inconographic sources. Part of the course, lasting a total of 12 hours, will be taught by Dr. Matteo Barbano as part of the activities of the Marie Curie Mediterranean Mass Mobilities and Displacements in the Age of Steam (1869-1914) - MedMaD project. Education contributes to Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY D.
