International Relations and Politics (INR)
Course Number:
GS35752
Course Description:
The course explores International Relations (IR) as a field of study. IR is the study of relationships between (political powers) nations. The complex nature of international relationships makes IR an interdisciplinary field, which considers difficult questions and global challenges. After the end of WWI, IR has developed into an academic discipline, which seeks to explain the workings of an international system of nations, which is typically, anarchic (absence of hierarchy), and without the rule of law.
In sum, this course aims to help students understand and evaluate key concepts and issues in IR like principal IR theories, foreign policy, peace, conflict, terrorism, military affairs, international organizations and international trade. Furthermore, it will consider major IR challenges about the environment, international cooperation, globalization, identity/diversity, and more.
