Course Title:
Current Issues in International Relations
Course Number:
GS34955
Course Description:
The purpose of this course is to introduce to the student basic concepts, ideas, and theories in the study of international relations so he/she could use them as a prism through which to examine current hot issues in the international system. In the first part of the course, we shall cover the development of a state system and of core international relations paradigms and theories—to include realism, liberalism, and constructivism. Each of these approaches interprets differently the relations between actors—state and non-state—in the international system. Thus, each of these approaches offers a different prism through which we can understand, examine, and explain developments, as well as the behavior of actors, in the international system. In the second part of the course, we will review a few of the more significant and recent developments in the international system, such as: the challenges posed by transnational forces (the Islamic State, for example)
