Class Objectives
/Class Outline The world is increasingly becoming interconnected and complex, making international relations and global governance more important than ever before. This course will provide an overview of the structures and processes governing the world. The first part of the course will cover the key theories of International Relations to set the conceptual stage for studying global governance. The second part will introduce the origins and roles of main global and international actors, including the United Nations and its agencies, regional organizations, and non-state actors. The third part will critically examine international processes and contemporary issues confronting the global governance system. Interactive learning approaches (Oxford style debates and Model United Nations) will provide a platform for students to analyze global issues in a collaborative and engaging environment.
By the end of the course, the students will have a firm grasp of the theoretical underpinnings and practical implications of the international structures, processes, and issues of global governance. They will be able to demonstrate the real-world relevance of their knowledge in international relations and global governance by analyzing pressing global issues of our time through structured peer discussions. This course will equip students with critical analytical tools, presentation skills, and debating strategies necessary for deliberating issues of global importance.
