This unit looks at how international relations were understood after World War II and how they have changed since 1990 with the demise of communism and the dismantling of a bipolar world. Students examine transnational pressures that have already begun altering the status of the nation-state and will likely continue to do so. Students study each topic presented in this unit from a variety of perspectives based on the views of experts in the field of international relations, government sources, and news articles.
Students enhance their skills of research, essay writing, interviewing, persuasive speaking, debate, and analysis by examining transnational pressures and trying to devise creative but viable solutions. By engaging in a variety of activities and simulations, students better understand how countries interact with each other, how government positions are formulated, and why compromise is a necessity in international relations. Ultimately, students become better equipped to analyze and articulate government positions on world problems, more globally aware, and better prepared to be responsible citizens.
