International Relations
Transnational Pressures Facing the Nation-State
International Relations 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.
