The primary purpose of this course is to help the student understand the world politics of today and tomorrow. It will explain and develop the fundamental concepts and materials essential to an intelligent analysis of international political behavior. The course will focus first on what the condition of anarchy, defined as the absence of political rule, means for state behavior at the international level. The course will then address the strategies states use in coping with the consequences of anarchy in dealing with contemporary transnational problems.
