POLS 366F - International Systems


CR: 3
Prerequisites: One French course above FREN 202, junior standing, and approval of the Resident Director.  

The goal of this course is to describe and analyze the different international systems that have succeeded one another in the course of the 20th century (the Order of Versailles, the UN, the cold war, the current state of international disorder, etc.). We will focus praticularly on how the world powers have tried to organize international relations by putting in place rules targeting the creation of an inter-state order and also on the analysis of the limits of these succeeding orders, stressing the disruptive elements of the system (states undermining an international order which is unfavorable to them: Germany from 1919-1939, decolonialization, terrorism, etc). Course offered in Paris in the Junior Year in France program.
