HENA03611U English - Free topic: Globalization, World Order, and Theories of International Relations
Volume 2014/2015
Content
This course explores
contemporary issues involving theoretical and analytical frameworks
in global relationships. While the world is increasingly
interdependent, a new world order is still unresolved. Students
will study the leading paradigms in global political theory and
read texts focused on contentious interpretations and important
issues--particularly since the ending of the Cold War, if it has
indeed ended. Historical context is important to understanding the
complexities from various perspectives. Students will develop an
interdisciplinary understanding of superpowers, great powers,
nation states, non-government organizations, international
organizations, supra-governmental organizations, and others, as
constitutive parts and explanatory interpretations from the
perspectives of Realism, Idealism, Structuralism, Marxism, The
English School, Historical Sociology, Critical Theory,
Post-Structuralism, Constructivism, Feminism, Green Politics and
International Political Theory. Each student will give a 10-minute
PPT presentation on a contemporary issue of contention.
