International Studies 113 - Introduction to International Studies: Globalization in Theory And Context

Institution:

Macalester College

Subject:

Description:

This course develops a base of knowledge, concepts, and analytical skills for engaging with International Studies' multi-dimensional concerns. Ranging across disciplines but with an emphasis on social science, we study global theories of interaction and conflict between human groups, situate globalization historically, and explore sites and implications of increasing encounter. Focusing on culture, people flows, nationalism and ethnicity, democratization, security, religious fundamentalism, gender, and the environment, we examine how particular cases reflect broader processes. Open to first- and second-year students. Every year. (4 credits)
