PSC 404 - The Challenge of United Nation

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Political Science

Description:

This course introduces students to the work of the United Nations and gives them first-hand experience in how that work is achieved. The UN was established at the end of World War II as a grand experiment - an attempt to create international unity and establish a lasting peace. Although it sometimes struggles to live up to its mandate, in the end may be our only choice for resolving many of the global problems that plague the world. This course provides students with hands-on experience by participating in the National Model United Nations conference in New York where they will represent one of the UN member countries on various committees, debating issues currently facing the UN. Students are advised to complete at least one introductory course in international relations or comparative politics prior to taking the class. Participation in this course is by permission of the instructor.
