INTS 100-01, Introduction to International Relations, Fall 2008

Abstract

Though introductory, this is a reading, writing, and thinking intensive course designed to serve as a foundation for all other IS courses. What you learn will also broadly prepare you to excel in courses in many other disciplines, including anthropology, history, and economics. By the end of the course you should be familiar with the various approaches to thinking about international politics, basic concepts like power and globalization, and areas such as international trade and non-state actors, among other things. If you have a documented disability or other issue that requires assistance, please let me know by the end of the second week of classes and I will be happy to help or refer you to Student Disability Services (SDS).
