TODAY’S GLOBAL WARS
POLI 3055 | 3 Credits | UG
By ‘global wars’ we refer to wars being fought in various parts of the world that have multi-nation implications. The global ‘war against terror’ will be closely examined in this course. Global wars also include current wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Mali, and Ukraine-Russia. We also examine potential wars such as those involving North Korea; Turkey; and Israel/Palestine. Throughout the course, students will follow on-going wars in real time, and this will influence in-class events and assignments. The reasons for the start of global wars will be investigated. Student requirements include assignments; projects; tests; quizzes; discussion sessions; real-time web interactions; and discussion board entries.
