Description:

M. Hays-Mitchell, D. Monk As the 21st century unfolds, we encounter a complex political-geographical landscape. Although the globalization of issues and reorganization of the world requires cooperation among diverse entities (e.g., IGOs, NGOs, states, grassroots movements) across various geographical scales (e.g., local to global), it often involves divisiveness, dispute, violence, and conflict. Conflicts over natural resources and territory - and the wealth and power they confer - are an increasingly prominent feature of the global landscape. This course applies a critical geopolitical lens to contemporary issues such as globalization, sustainability, environmental security, terrorism, human rights, post-conflict reconstruction/reconciliation, and alternative spaces of resistance.
