This course is about the ideas, institutions, and practices
through which global politics is organized. The course has
three objectives:
1) to provide an overview of the structure and dynamics of
global governance in the late 20th century;
2) to raise issues related to power and justice in the
contemporary global order;
3) to analyze the effects of globalization on the nature of
order.
We will study the relationships between states,international
organizations, and non-governmental organizations on issues
of international trade, collective security, peace keeping,
human rights, development, environment. Questions that we
will address through class readings and discussions will
include: what does globalization mean for global governance;
is it possible (or even desirable) to have a universal human
rights regime; can a trade regime like the WTO actually lead
a more just global order?
