Transnational Issues and National Security

Catalog description

With the advent of more societies around the world and more open trade, a variety of transnational issues have become important for American na- tional security. The role of NGO’s in dealing with a variety of issues, the role of the many powerful transnational corporations, and the interest- ing aspect of transnational crime have changed the role of nation-states (somewhat) in how they deal with both state and non-state actors. This course examines the key transnational issues that are important for U.S. policy and also analyzes a series of case studies dealing with important issues such as transnational crime, transnational corporations, and oth- er issues that cross borders between states and regions.
