The general goal of this course is to acquaint students with the general knowledge and analytical tools necessary to understand, evaluate, and respond to an increasingly complex array of international problems. Students achieving this overall goal are expected to fulfill a series of learning objectives listed on the syllabus page. POL 202 is a tier two general education course fulfilling the Individuals and Societies study area. The course is organized around two lecture sessions and smaller discussion section meetings each week. Lecture topics are designed to elaborate or complement those in the assigned readings. Although this is not a course in current events, it is always helpful to think about how the lecture and reading material contribute to your understanding of international affairs. Toward this end students are encouraged to develop a working knowledge of contemporary international issues.Announcements
