Description:

This course examines the new patterns of relations that have developed among nation-states, intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the post-Cold War period. The focus will be on the increasing regionalization and globalization of governmental and non-governmental organizations and movements and their effects on world stability and on the lives of average citizens. Using the new and competing models of world politics, students will focus on: the roles of the state and individuals in developing foreign policies; the increasing role of NGOs (from human rights groups to international terrorist groups) in shaping the actions of states; wars and conflict management; and the global economy and the divide between North and South. Students will also examine specific global issues such as: AIDS, pollution, human rights, workers rights, and terrorism. Hours of class per week: 3. General Education: S.
