Class Description:
Global politics introduces students to the study of the world's political systems and to the debates over certain global issues. Various theroretical frameworks are examined throughout the semester, but the emphasis is on the so-called realist and liberal perspectives. Related middle range accounts of war and of international political economy also are studied. While many global political issues will be mentioned, the focus will be on the legacies of the East-West conflict, particularly nuclear proliferation, and on the North-South conflict, expecially Southern demands for distributional justice. At the end of the semester, students will be able to describe and predict the evolution of a global political system. In addition, they will be able to carve out and defend a stand on one of the global issues mentioned above.
