This seminar develops two principal propositions: That there now exists a global society, defined by the increasing scope, depth, and accumulation of interdependencies of multiplying state and non-state actors across all areas of human concern and that the governance of this society — the state system for order, global markets for welfare, and democratic rule for legitimacy — are flawed, placing the global society at risk, absent their fundamental reform or transformation. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
