Cíle předmětu
The course intends to make a survey of international institutions that are critically important in mediating global politics and economics: development and operations of the United Nations, regional organizations, and functional international organizations. Course readings cover a diverse range of global issues, as well as such contemporary policy areas as peacekeeping, trade, and social, and humanitarian issues. A particular focus will explore the growing role of non-state actors, including transnational movements and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
