This is an
introductory course on international politics and the relations between actors
in the global political system. The purpose of this course is to systematically
study international interactions between actors with different interests and
ideas. In this course we will explore topics, encounter puzzles, examine
theories, and evaluate evidence to try to gain a greater understanding of world
politics. The overarching goal of the course is to understand how the
contemporary global political system originated, and what historical processes
and actors drove its development and change. The goal is for stimulated
thinking about events that take place outside of more than just our community
and how important it is to have an understanding of world events that occur and
how they might affect our lives.
