POL 105 First-Year Majors (FYM) Introduction to International Politics (3 credits)

An introductory survey of the major approaches, interpretations and problems in the field of International Politics. Topics include security (war, peace, terrorism), international political economy (hegemony, development, globalization), and transboundary issues (environmental issues, human rights). Restricted to first-year POL and IR majors, a smaller and more interactive class than the non-major section. Depending on the section, may satisfy the Globalization overlay requirement.
