POL 1410 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
POL 1410- International Relations provides students with a comprehensive introduction to the complex and dynamic interactions between nation-states, inter-governmental organizations, and non-state actors in the international system. By examining key International Relations theories alongside historical events and contemporary global issues, students will consider various challenges to the post-World War II international order and will gain insights into: whether and how states engage in war and conflict; the conduct of foreign policy; the ambitions and limits of international law; the causes of global poverty and inequality; and the significance of non-governmental organizations, multinational corporations, and transnational social movements in an interconnected world. Students will learn how to analyze and critically assess some of the world’s most pressing challenges, such as insecurity and protracted conflict, chronic underdevelopment, economic instability and crisis, and the compounding impacts of climate change.
