International Studies 489 - Senior Seminar: Paradigms of World Order

Institution:

Macalester College

Subject:

Description:

The end of the Cold War eliminated a large bifurcation of international society. However, the initial shock of this event have given way to fresh arguments about transnational life. For some, the situation is seen as the disappearance of an aberration, and the return of the "natural" Western modernization, progress, free marketsand liberal democracy. Others see a moment of truth: the unveiling of deeper, more complicated divides, requiring fundamental rethinking and a new world order. Through various readings, this senior seminar interrogates these and other interpretations of the interregnum and their correlative visions. Prerequisite: senior standing. Not offered 2008-2009.
