World orders are not a static phenomenon. The Liberal International Order (LIO), for example, was created by the United States and its allies after World War II. Today, we see that order is in crisis. This course explores debates about what constitutes “order,” why orders rise and fall, and how actors in different regions of the world seek security, influence and legitimacy in uncertain times. This is a highly interactive class designed to teach students how to analyze concepts, present them, collectively identify and outline policy problems and solutions, and understand how global structures affect country behaviors and vice-versa. Restricted to first-year students admitted to Munk One. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.
