  • NINT 5120 - Theories of Global Politics (Fall 2008)

Section A/CRN 5900 (syllabus)
L.H.M. Ling
Thursday 6.00pm - 7.50pm

This course will survey the field of International Relations (IR) through its key theoretical debates, from classical to contemporary times. We will cover how different theorists conceptualize the "international" as well as the "relational" in what constitutes our world politics today. Students should leave the course with a better understanding of why certain camps in IR think and act the way they do, as well as their own location within the discipline.
