IS 116 Power: Conflict and Diplomacy

This course is an introduction to international politics and power. What makes states different from one another? What leads states to conflict? How can conflict be resolved?  This course provides the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings to understand how power shapes the world today. It explores the development of the state, how states differentiate themselves into different regime types, and how they interact on the international stage through international law, diplomacy, and force.
