    Description
    This course introduces students to the origins, current status, and future trends of major transnational issues confronting the global community. Topics include population trends, economic development and inequality, basic human needs (for food, water, health care), human rights, international conflict and security concerns, military actions, competition over resources, movements for independence and social justice, and environmental problems. The course also focuses on global governance, including the study of collective global responsibilities towards a just global order, with emphasis on the social justice struggles of economic, ethnic, racial, and national groups challenged by regional or global powers.
