A commonclaim is that it is the most profoundchange taking place in human affairs, akey force shaping our lives andaffecting everyone on the planet in oneway or another. It remains, however,an essentially contested concept.

Most people have at best a vagueunderstanding of what globalizationactually is or means, not least becausethe debates surrounding this idea arecomplex and often contradictory. Thiscourse is designed to introducestudents to these debates and toexplore globalization in all its aspects,economic, political, cultural,environmental and technological. Itsaim is to provide a critical appreciationof the benefits and costs thatcontemporary globalization is likely topresent for world society.

In the second part of the semester, students will undertake model simulation exercises that mirror those of the African Union. Course participants will be organized into teams to research current African issues and integrate their findings into simulation sessions.

The primary theme of the course will be the challenges that democratic societies face when dealing with terrorism. In many ways policies of the United Kingdom’s government, chosen for short term expediency and security, ended up being costly over the long run by undermining faith in the government and contributing to the legitimacy of the Provisional IRA, the primary insurgent group. The fact that the UK government did eventually resolve the conflict peacefully in the 1990s demonstrates that the problem of terrorism can be solved within the constraints of open, democratic political structures. We therefore have a great deal to learn, both positive and negative, from British behavior during the Troubles.

Global climate change is one of the most important globalenvironmental, economic, and policy issues of our time. Evenas the US Congress debates major legislation to addressclimate change, and the global community debates a successortreaty to the Kyoto Protocol, industries worldwide arevoluntarily changing their business practices to account fortheir impact on the environment. Green practices andgreennhouse gas policies are among the most widelydiscussed issues today. This course examines the manyeconomic implications that climate change may have onsociety. The course begins with a global view of the energysystem, economic growth, and the potential impacts ofclimate change on major sectors such as agriculture, forests,water resources and coastal communities. We then examine awide range of business practices, technologies, and policiesthat may be used to combat climate change, and we assessthe likely benefits and costs of the actions society may take.

More than 800 million people in the worldtoday are chronically undernourished andlack secure access to food. Why does hungerpersist when world food supplies are morethan adequate to feed everyone? What canbe done to reduce hunger worldwide? Thiscourse addresses the conditions that enableor prevent people from having constantaccess to food. We examine who is hungry,where they are located, and how trends inhunger and extreme poverty have changedover time. The course pays particularattention to food security problems in Sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia, the globalregions where hunger is most prevalent. Buthunger is not limited to the developingworld, and we also study food insecurity inindustrialized countries, such as the UnitedStates. Ending global hunger would requireonly a small fraction of world GDP, and in thelatter half of the course, we examine theresources and altered priorities that wouldmake it possible to end hunger in ourlifetime.

This course offers students an overview of the issuesrelating to atomic, biological, and chemical weapons,commonly referred to as weapons of mass destruction(WMD). Since the end of the Cold War, the proliferation ofthese kinds of weapons has become one of America’sprimary security concerns; thus an understanding of theweapons and their capabilities is an essential componentof understanding national security more broadly.

This class will approach WMD from three angles. First, itwill take a historical perspective, exploring thedevelopment and use of these weapons in past conflicts.Second, it will examine the scientific foundation of the mostsignificant WMD threats. While not a science class,students must certainly have a basic understanding of theway that these kinds of weapons function in order toassess the threat that they represent. No prior sciencebackground on the part of students is assumed, but theymust be prepared to learn some basic biology, chemistry,and physics.

Then we considerdiplomacy itself as a kind of cultural performance.Next we look at the historical context in whichstate‐sponsored CD took shape in the twentiethcentury, followed by the rise of grassrootsalternatives to the Cold War model, emergingfrom both postcolonial and domestic resistance.Finally we look at the recent revitalization andreshapings of cultural diplomacy in response toconsumer capitalism, the globalization of publicopinion, new media, and geopolitical shifts. Ineach case we’ll examine concrete examples ofcultural forms in motion to consider the possibleeffects and efficacy of CD initiatives.

The key goals of this course are to prepare students to:analyze the evolution of peacekeeping and collectivesecurity within the international community and thetheoretical distinctions among intervention, collectivesecurity, peacekeeping, peace enforcement, and peacebuilding; identify the conditions that allowpeacekeeping or collective security to occur and theconditions that enhance its likely success; and evaluatethe effectiveness of peacekeeping in particular casesfrom an international politics, organizational, andinterpersonal/social perspective.
