Executive Course in Strategic Affairs

State actors and economists alike are often faced with making strategic decisions that have global repercussions. These often come with elevated levels of risk both for the resources involved and for the very security of citizens and businesses. Proper evaluation of any potential danger can be accomplished if one possesses the right analytical skills and understanding of geopolitical equations and the crises at hand –– and are then equipped to view them through a global lens.

The only course of its kind in Italy, this specialization came to light to help equip firms and people to face international competition in all its complexities while looking at the protection of one’s interests and national security in tandem. The course takes an interdisciplinary and policy-oriented approach while analyzing socio-political, juridic, economic and technological phenomena so as to form political consultants able to assess risk, weighing it with the various strategic options at hand.

The course is ideal for newly minted graduates, public officials or private sector executives and sector analysts. It is ideal for those with a strong interest in developing the quantitative and qualitative methodologies as experts in the management of processes and strategic analyses so as to support decision-makers in risk assessment and judgment calls.

The course is offered in collaboration with the Department of Information Security of the Prime Minister's Office.
