Theories of International Relations
Joanne Gowa
MW, 2:30-3:20 pm

This course introduces students to theories about the international system. It examines sources of conflict and cooperation among states on both trade and security issues. In addition, it considers whether domestic politics influence international outcomes. The course will include some use of economics, game theory, and statistics, but it presumes no background knowledge in any of these areas.
