SIS-605 Theory of Cooperative Global Politics (3)

Examines the historical movement toward stability and order in the international political system with emphasis on comparing such concepts as nation-state/one world; national interest/human interest; rights of states/human rights; sovereignty/interdependence; war/collaborative conflict resolution. The concepts that underlie the competitive model of world politics-individualism, rationality, and self-interest-are analyzed within the global political context.
