POL 308 - Global Challenges


This course uses the history and theory of International Relations (IR) as a launching point for understanding a proliferating, confounding array of global challenges. Going beyond IR’s traditional foci (e.g., conflict and cooperation among nation-states), students study phenomena likely to dominate future debates, e.g., race, outer space, and technological revolution.

Prerequisite: Three credits in Political Science or GLS 200; or instructor permission.
