POL 110 - World Politics

Provides a general introduction to processes, issues, and policies in world politics. Course moves from the city-state politics of Ancient Greece to the current nation-state-based “multipolar” world, examining the origins of war and peace, the relationships between politics and economic life, and the rules and norms of international interaction in the era of globalization. By weighing different arguments and concepts, students will make their own assessments of the changing global political order and challenges that the international community faces. Satisfies the Social Science core requirement.
