This seminar will explore the structure and dynamics of global political and economic relations, the role of the United States as a key actor in them, as well as their regional and local implications. Drawing from current and recent history, we will examine individual cases and broader developments in areas like security, ecology, economy, and political movements, and identify and evaluate differing—and often contending—perspectives by applying conceptual and analytical frameworks from multiple fields of study.
