POLS 1200 - Model UN

3 cr. 3 hr. Offered annually in the spring. FIRST OFFERING SPRING 2014

In this age of globalization, global issues and threats increasingly require global solutions. Individual nation-states will not be able to unilaterally resolve global warming, terrorism, etc., but rather will need to work together to address them. That is why International Organizations such as the United Nations are so important. Using the United Nations as its primary case study, this course will explore different global issues, the challenges to resolving them, and the role of the United Nations in the global arena. All students will attend at least one Model UN competition. CTW, GDCN, WS
