＜概要/Course Content Summary＞
This course will systematically study and debate some of the key contents of the important and fully updated IR textbook: The Globalization of World Politics - An Introduction to International Relations (8th Edition), Edited by John Baylis, Steve Smith and Patricia Owens, Oxford University Press, 2020). No prior knowledge of International Relations is necessarily required nor expected. The course will include the opportunity to access an unrivalled coverage of history, theory, structures, processes, and international issues, prior to, during and following WWII, up to the present day, by over 30 leading international scholars. State of the Art online resources are included to support both IR lecturers and their students.
＜到達目標/Goals,Aims＞
Students will deepen and develop their critical reading, writing, thinking, discussion, presentation, and research skills. By the end of the semester, their knowledge and understanding of the above will have been increased and enhanced, as will their ability to comprehend and make informed judgements about some of the key concepts and problems of International Relations in the Post War Era.
