POSC 253 - Global Governance and International Organizations

3 Credit Hours
This is an intermediate course within the field of international relations that focuses on questions of global governance in the international system. The main focus of the course will be on how international organizations (the UN, WTO, IMF, etc.) are used at various levels of governance, with varying degrees of success, to try and solve global issues. Essentially, we will examine the problems of cooperation that define the core of international relations and how organizations are designed and constructed to overcome these difficult challenges. Examples of topics include the theory and decision-making processes around responding to conflicts, economic crises, refugees, disease, climate change, and genocide.
