POE-130 Global Issues
This course considers select global issues that
currently challenge the international community.
Each class session will cover a different issue
and look at the debates surrounding them. Often
referred to as "transnational issues," or issues
too vast and complex for a single country to
resolve, the course topics include global
population trends, water scarcity, oil supplies,
global food production, climate change, drug
trafficking, human trafficking, internet freedom,
immigration, refugee crises, nuclear
proliferation, religious extremism, terrorism,
superpower rise and decline, and other topics.
This non-lecture course will emphasize
student-driven discussion based on set of common
readings. This course is open to all students.
