This course provides students with the background and conceptual tools they need to understand the relationships among actors in the international system. These relationships are mainly characterized by anarchy, a condition that exacerbates many of humanity's greatest problems including war, pollution, famine and inequality. The course is grounded in an awareness of current events. It will introduce students to a wide range of international phenomena including the causes of peace and conflict, socio-economic development, globalization or the global environmental crisis.

Lernziele:
- Ability to apply abstract theory and research methods to understand contemporary events within international politics
