Course Title:
Intl Relations Theory-2023
Course Number:
GIR2017
Course Description:
focuses on the theoretical frameworks used to explain, interpret, critique and on rare occasions predict the outcomes of global political events and processes. Events may include the outbreak and cessation of armed conflict, humanitarian intervention, the establishment of international organisations, and responses to transnational threats and challenges such as climate change, refugee flows and pandemic diseases. Processes may include great power competition and rivalry, global economic integration and financial crises, patterns of development and poverty, migration patterns, and the transformation of the international order itself. Major theoretical approaches to be examined will include realism, which centres on power relations between states; liberal internationalism, which gives more emphasis to domestic politics and processes of mutually beneficial cooperation; and constructivism, which looks at the explanatory power of the norms and ideas at work in global politics.
