    Description
    (No prerequisite.) This course is designed to introduce students to the theory and practice of international relations. The course identifies the various players in global politics and describes and explains their behavior and the structure of the international system in which they operate. Included is an examination of not only the traditional subjects of international relations, such as power, nationalism, diplomacy, and war, but also those transnational factors that have come to play a critical role in an increasingly interdependent world, such as immigration, trade and economic/financial activities, the environment, human rights, and terrorism.
