Course Prerequisite
Globalization both enframes the possibilities for action at the national
level, and opens up opportunities for coordinated efforts beyond the
state. Students examine the emergence of the international community,
transnational actors, and global citizenship as new political phenomena
that could be useful in confronting issues such as global climate change,
refugee crises, international terrorism and arms control that transcend
the borders and powers of individual states.

B) Statement of Need:
The 2015 IQAP review of Political Science indicated the need to offer 6 credits of introductory
level courses. Political Science used to have a 6-credit introductory course that was replaced
with a single 3-credit course. The introduction of this new 3-credit course will round out our
offerings at this level, and complement the institutions and theory-based 1000 level course,
POLI 1006 “Politics, Power and the Common Good” with topical, timely material from the subdiscipline of International Relations.
