Description:

THIS IS A 2-HOUR PRESENTATION & COURSE INTRODUCTION. ALL INTERESTED STUDENTS ARE WELCOME AND THOSE IN THE COURSE ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND.

Humanity has long been plagued by wars, disease, famine and social injustice. In recent years, new challenges such as climate change, terrorism, pandemics, and economic disruption have also become global in scale, posing serious threats to humankind. World leaders across many fields agree we need an unprecedented level of cooperation between nations to solve these problems. Several proposals have been offered to accomplish this. This course investigates past attempts to solve global problems such as the League of Nations; our current system, including the United Nations; and proposals for a democratic world government capable of addressing these global issues. We will critically assess these approaches and discuss current efforts to implement them.
