DESCRIPTION
This course is an introductory survey of fundamental issues in international relations, and the interaction between politics, the economy, geography and culture. It will inevitably deal with concepts such as the nation- state, national sovereignty, power, and the nature and origins of conflict. A special emphasis will be put on what Gerard Toal calls 'the axes of power and conflict' and students will be given the conceptual framework to help them understand that what is called global politics is essentially parochial.
