International Relations Theory for Globa

This course is designed to upgrade the students’ skills to design global policies by providing an in-depth understanding of essential International Relations theories and instructing how to apply them to solve real-world issues through exercises. As global cooperation is difficult to build yet critical for solving global issues, this course focuses on theories that are helpful to achieve such cooperation and employs issues related to the U.S.-China competition, a key obstacle to global cooperation, as case studies. At the end of the course, students will be able to define a fundamental structure in each complex and dynamic global issue and tailor policy recommendations that reflect this structure.
