Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2171 The state-based order originated with the peace of Westphalia in the 17th century. Since that momentous occasion the state system has continuously evolved, spreading from Europe to the rest of the world, and developing norms and institutions to govern international politics. This course offers a survey of the literature concerning the state-based system, past and present. It begins by introducing analytical perspectives on international relations. The second part of the course addresses a range of specific issues, including the evolution of the state system throughout the past four centuries, the preservation of international order through the system’s strongest powers, and the establishment of institutions that sustain this order. The course concludes with an exploration of world order under American hegemony, as well as the future of this order in light of the rise of China and globalization processes.
