Workshops on Active Teaching and Learning in International Relations

  FALL 2010 COURSE LINKS:

  Political Science 120: Introduction to International Relations
This introductory course is designed to help students gain a better understanding of international relations by exposing them to a wide range of factors that are shaping global events while also providing them with concepts to make the relations between these factors more clearly identifiable. Topics will include the following: your place in international relations, the structure of the international system, what interests are important to international politics and how these interests are met, traditional and continuing concerns of international relations (such as war, security, and economic relations) along with other important issues now facing the global populace (such as population, human rights and the environment) and what can be done to cope with these problems.
