POLS 1410 - Introduction to International Relations

This course will look at the major concerns, issues, and actors that characterize world politics and examine various theoretical explanations for state behaviors, such as realism, liberalism, and constructivism. We will use these theories to analyze the forces that affect state behavior and address some of the most pressing questions in international relations. In order to understand connections among states, we will explore vital topics such as war, cooperation, international law, political economy, terrorism, human rights, and the forms of conflict that characterize the international system.
