Course Description:
This seminar examines how the world is and has been organized politically, and whether and how transnational problems can be addressed. A core interest of the seminar will be the conflict, tension, and contestation that often surrounds the emergence, maintenance, and decay of such global orders.
In block one, we will cover different eras and instances of global order and disorder, including the Westphalian order, world orders in Asia and Eurasia, the UN and the post-WWII order, and post-Cold War liberalism. In block two, we will examine contemporary issues and problems, including climate change, genocide and mass atrocities, and nuclear proliferation, as well as the domestic underpinnings of international cooperation or disorder.
