Review: idea of this course: lot of themes ; not going deep but wildly. Higher year in political science: specific and going deeper. Big themes of the class: is the world moving to democracy or clash of civilizations? (reviewing) Concepts: ancient (class, group, and collective freedom) vs. modern (individual concept) The political model design on modern liberty way and the basic of model of individual freedom is liberal democracy. Communism, fascism, problems of democracy (equality and so on) what explains the relations between states: theories and cases. In case of war and peace between states: cold war, cuba crisis, rise of china. Way to figure out the states relate with each other (theories of international relation): realism, why do some countries become powerful and what is the impact of that? (realism) Most of international theories look for powerful countries: powerful conquer and poor response; strong expect what they can and weak accept what they found.
