Students in Global Issues will examine the evolving dynamics of the international system at an introductory level. This discussion focuses on facilitating international governance and cooperation relative to major contemporary international issues. The class examines the positive effects and challenges posed by the new distribution of power in the international system. Finally, we consider the quest for international peace and security. We will use these three major issue areas to introduce some of the critical issues facing a new generation of political science and global civic engagement.
