How does international order emerge and evolve? This course examines international order as facilitated by international law and organizations, across diverse issue areas including international security, trade, human rights and the environment. We examine topics such as the role of the United States in creating and leading the international order, discontent among elites and the public in Western industrialized nations over the contemporary order, and the growing contention from the enlarging BRICS+ and the global South about the future of the international order.

3 undergraduate hours. No graduate credit. Prerequisite: PS 180, PS 280, PS 281 or PS 282, or at least six hours of Political Science credit, or consent of instructor.
