Course details

More about this course
  • This four-week course offers you the opportunity to investigate why some events have a longer-lasting impact on global affairs than others. You'll look at which threats affect foreign affairs and global policy, and how those threats can be evaluated.
  • Dive into the world of global studies and explore how the global political landscape is shaped by cultural divides and anticipated threats.
  • This course will provide you with insights gleaned from demography, geography and anthropology, which in turn will enable you to make informed predictions about the future of international relations.
  • Despite periods of relative stability, there are constant challenges within politics and international relations. You'll review issues within communication, the instability of norms in politics and business, and social uprisings. Consider why people rebel, and the imbalances of power between people and states.
  • Worldwide change is only accelerating - environmental, cultural, and military pressures all need new means to meet expanding challenges.
  • You'll learn how to assess these risks, looking closely at sustainability challenges such as water depletion and deforestation. You'll then move on to review the impact of technology on warfare, and whether those changes will ever really spell the end of war.
