PSCI 230 - Introduction to International Relations

4 Credit(s)

A survey of the major institutions, issues, and political processes of the contemporary global system. Students will be introduced to the major theories that inform international political decision-making and policy development, and will use these theories to evaluate the substantive issues of world politics—including international conflict, genocide, global trade and capital flows, human rights, environmental decline, and population health. Evaluation is based on individual writing assignments, class participation, and group and individual presentations deriving from class activities.
