Student is given a framework within which to analyze contemporary international politics.
World politics is a broad subfield of political science which encompasses the study of the foreign policies of different states, world trends, and major events in countries outside of the United States which significantly influence the shape and course of international affairs. Students will become aware of non-Western perspectives on international relations and politics, will develop an understanding of current events outside of the United States and will understand basic concepts and analytical structures of international relations. Students will become familiar with the geography of non-Western areas and the history of those areas and will be able to recognize important states, events, dates and trends.
