    Description
    This course is designed as an introductory course to the study of the international organizations, foreign policy, and international relations. In addition, the course functions as a preparatory course for student participation in Model United Nations (MUN) conferences. At MUN conferences students represent diplomats from a specific country in a simulation of United Nations committee meetings. During these committee meetings, student delegates debate and negotiate international issues and write formal resolutions in an effort to address a wide variety of global problems, such as maintaining international peace and security, protecting human rights, providing developmental assistance, and protecting the environment.
