| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1048 What are the worldwide obstacles to peace and justice? How can we surmount them? This course examines theories of some of the leading obstacles to peace and justice worldwide, and of what global citizens can do about them. The three obstacles we consider are colonialism and its legacies, whether we live in a global racial order, and whether the global economic order harms the poor and does them a kind of violence. The two solutions we will consider are the project of economic and social development, and the practice of human rights. The course aims, first, to give students some of the knowledge they will need to address these problems and be effective global citizens. Second, to understand some of the major forces that shape the present world order. Third and finally, to hone the skills in analysis, theory-building, and arguing that are highly valued in legal and political advocacy, in public life and the professions, and in graduate school.; Crosslisted: Independent College Programs, Political Science; Enrollment Limit: 15; Lottery Preference(s): Returning CPGC Interns Social Justice, Social Science, B: Analysis of the Social World (; Hav: SJ, SO, B) |
