Today’s interdependent global economy and geopolitical landscape connect one country’s interests and actions more than ever to those of other countries and their citizens. “Global Affairs: The Fundamentals” is designed to provide learners with a detailed understanding of the political, historic, and theoretical contexts that shape our interconnected world. With this knowledge, learners will be able to address complex questions such as when (and why) a government might choose to isolate itself from other countries or engage with them, or respond to global events with a unilateral or multilateral approach. After completing the course, learners will be able to identify and explain the critical actors and forces that shape global affairs; explain the history of globalization from the 19th century to today, particularly as this history relates to humans’ social, political, and economic interconnectedness; and assess key theories and approaches to the workings of global affairs.
