The Department of Political Science, Law and International Studies of the University of Padua organizes the 3rd edition of the International Politics and Security Spring School on the 27th of April, and the 11-14th of May, under the scientific coordination of prof Valentine Lomellini.
 
IPSE addresses the major changes in International Politics & Security, thanks to a historical and integrated approach: it relies on a network of 12 European Universities, involving worldwide well-known experts that study this phenomenon from a multidisciplinary perspective. From history to political science, from sociology to economics and international relations, IPSE offers a unique opportunity to learn the most relevant scientific developments in this area of knowledge.
 
This edition addresses "The changing nature of conflicts. Global diplomacy and international threats" and among the top speakers are Romano Prodi (Former President of the European Commission, former PM of Italy), Martha Crenshaw (Stanford University), Odd Arne Westad (Yale University).

This year's edition is organized with the support of the NATO Public Diplomacy Division, under the Patronage of the European Parliament, and is part of the series of events in celebrations of the 800th Anniversary of the University of Padua.
