Within this field of academic inquiry, students can take courses that examine such topics as the origins of war, the sources and consequences of globalization, democratic sustainability, international cooperation, international law, foreign policy making, environmental politics, migration, revolutions, transnational activism, social movements, terrorism, and international relations theory.
