Description:

Global Order: Civilizations; Society in International Relations "Global Order" is a course designed to help students make sense of one of the fundamental questions we can ask about international relations and politics in general: how is order established, maintained, or destroyed? In an important sense, order is what the "study of politics seeks to discern and the practice of politics seeks to achieve" (Zartman 2009: 3). A focus on order in world politics can help us answer several interesting questions: Are we seeing the modern era of world politics ending and a new postmodern era beginning? What do these changes mean for the current period of American international political dominance?
