Notes: Open to seniors with instructor permission. This course is not open to entering freshmen. Students will have the option to use second language skills to research selected assignments.
This course studies how individuals acquire their cultural, national and state identifications and how these varied identifications complicate coping with a variety of global challenges arising from increasing interdependence and, through case studies and simulations, challenges students to adopt different perspectives and experience the possible cooperation or conflict which results. It provides an introduction to a global community in transition in the post-Cold War world and to the interdisciplinary approach which characterizes the study of international affairs.
