International Relations
Andrew Moravcsik (Spring '10 Instructor)
Christina Davis (Fall '09 Instructor)
MW, 11:00-11:50 am

This course is an introduction to the causes and nature of international conflict and cooperation. We critically examine various theories of international politics by drawing on examples from various historical eras as well as across security and economic affairs. Topics include the causes of war, the pursuit of economic prosperity, the sources of international order and its breakdown, and the rise of challenges to national sovereignty.
