The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

(same as INB 350) Prerequisite: ECO 101 or ECO 102 The course examines trade relationships, flows, and structures in the context of historical experiences, contemporary political relationships, and economic imperatives. With a focus on the Caribbean region, the course also looks at how international trade processes actually work. INT 364 History of the Caribbean 1 course unit (same as HIS 364) This course takes a long historical, sociological, economic, and political view of the Caribbean Basin. It examines the origins of the region as a unique cultural and political space defined by the interplay between the indigenous inhabitants, African Slaves, Asian immigrants, European empires (Spanish, Dutch, French, and English), and American hegemony. The course explains the Caribbean Basin as a dynamic historical space defined by the diversity of its inhabitants, tensions between cultures, relationship to its past, and efforts to fit into an expanding culture of global capitalism. INT 355 Political Economy of Natural Resources 1 course unit (same as POL355) This course is designed to give advanced undergraduates an introduction to scholarship on the politics of natural resources use. It combines theoretical material with study of a wide range of detailed cases-cases that vary by the type of natural resource (minerals, water, forests), by the geographical (and to some degree, historical) setting, and by the level of analysis (local, national, and international). Though the course is focused on political questions, it draws on scholarship from economics, history, and geography. INT 360 Comparative Political Economy of Development 1 course unit (same as POL 352) Prerequisite: POL 250 or POL 355 or INT 355 or ECO 355 or INT 200 Offers an examination, within the framework of the comparative political economy of development literature, of a sample of developing countries and their efforts to develop economically and politically. INT 365 African Cinema: Francophone African Experience Through Film 1 course unit (same as AAS 365) This course offers an in-depth exploration of Francophone African cinema by Africans in front of and behind the camera.
