Course Objectives
The first aim of the course is for the students to become acquainted with basic concepts and with a
number of research approaches in political science in general as well as in peace and conflict studies.
The second aim is to develop the skills of the students as both consumers and producers of scientific
research. The course is planned and constructed as a workshop.
Requirements and Grading
1. Reading, active participation and preparing for class: Attendance in lessons is a requirement.
During the semester students will be requested to prepare for lessons by reading material
and/or by preparing material for discussion or presentation in class on the particular subjects

The Rabbit's Thesis
One day a fox was strolling through the forest and he met a rabbit sitting at the mouth of a cave, writing energetically. The fox asked the rabbit: "What are you writing?" The Rabbit answered: "I'm writing my doctoral dissertation." "What is the subject of the dissertation," asked the fox. The rabbit
answered: "Rabbits Devouring Foxes." The fox burst into laughter and said: "That's an idiotic dissertation." The Rabbit said: "Come, let's go into this
cave and I'll prove the dissertation to you." The two entered the cave and there were immediately sounds of a struggle and of bones being broken. After two minutes, the rabbit came out, wiped the
remains of blood from his whiskers, sat down and continued with his writing.
After a short time, the wolf appeared and asked the rabbit: "What are you writing?" The Rabbit answered: "I'm writing my doctoral dissertation." "What is the subject of the dissertation," asked the fox. The rabbit answered: "Rabbits Devouring Wolves." The wolf broke into hysterical laughter and said:
"Your dissertation is ridiculous." The Rabbit said: "Come, let's go into this cave and I'll prove the dissertation to you."
The two entered the cave and there were immediately sounds of a struggle and of bones being broken. After two minutes, the rabbit came out, wiped the remains of blood from his whiskers, sat down and continued with his writing.
By evening, the bear and the leopard had gone the way of the fox and the wolf, and the rabbit again and again wiped the remains of blood from his
whiskers. The vulture, who had been hovering overhead for hours as his curiosity grew stronger and stronger, came down near the rabbit and asked: "Rabbit,
what's your story?" "Come into the cave and see," answered the rabbit.
The two entered the cave and the rabbit pointed to an enormous lion resting there, tired but well satiated. "That's my advisor" answered the rabbit, and added, "It's not important what your dissertation is. What's really important is who your advisor is."
