International Relations

Catalog description

The course provides an introduction to international relations theories through a study of political, economic, historical, geographic and sociological variables as they influence relations among states, international and transnational organizations, and other non-state actors. The relationship between these theories and significant current international events will then be examined. Emphasis will be placed on the interdependence of nations in the modern world, and the links between local and international communities in an era of contemporary economic and cultural globalization.
