FYS 1066 - Global Flash Points

Hours: 4
This FYS examines contemporary political flash points in a global perspective. The course examines how conflicts arise within and between states across the world. We will explore the causes and contexts of conflicts as well as the means and prospects for their resolution, including the role that other states and organizations like the United Nations, and NGOs can and do play in resolving tensions. Special attention will be directed to contemporary problems, such as nuclear proliferation, migration, disease, economic development, social justice, and/or food security in these conflicts. Areas may include the Middle East, Asia, Africa, the Ukraine, and Latin America.
