POLI 2057 : POLI 2057 Syllabus Summer 2015 Final
Document Summary
The course is primarily designed to grant students a broad-based expose across a variety of conceptual and empirical issues encountering the current international system. These issues will be contextualized within both normative and empirical frameworks to equip students with a sophisticated and multi-dimensional analytical toolbox. Such an intimate engagement should prepare students to tease out fundamental debates within the ir discipline on crucial international problems and different prescriptive paradigms to deal with them. Explain: different process at work in the process of globalization. Define: key theoretical themes and events associated with globalization. The course is targeted to afford students a wide-ranging menu of issue-areas within a historical context that have risen onto the agenda of international politics in the post-cold war era. The course will be taught at a generic level assuming no prior knowledge of or expertise in international relations. We will combine weekly chapter write-ups with two multiple-choice exams to ensure maximum exposure to the material covered.
