IR 40000 The Politics of Global Governance
This course is based on the interdisciplinary relationship between political authority (most commonly represented by the state but increasingly also by a range of international institutions) and the distribution of wealth and resources evident in the market economy are examined. Further, this course will enhance students' understanding of "globalization," what it entails, its significance and the challenges it poses. "Globalization" is examined as a historical transformatory process that has resulted from the decisions of states, but which also forces states to adjust their national policies and institutions and to build new supranational, intergovernmental and transnational institutions.
