GLBS710 Seminar in Global Governance (3 semester hours)
This doctoral seminar examines how global governance works. The various ways in which states have created order and organization to their conduct in international affairs are examined, as are the increasingly diverse range of actors involved in global governance. The first part of the course provides theoretical and conceptual foundations for understanding the key actors, major developments, and current challenges in global governance today. The second part of the course focuses on exploring global governance architectures across a range of key policy and issue areas. Overall, students will gain both theoretical and substantive knowledge covering a wide range of global governance arrangements, actors, and issues. (This first course and corequisite SSGS700 must both be successfully passed before moving on to other courses.)
