Introduction to International Relations

<p>HIR101 provides students with an overview of the theory and practice of international relations. The subject is divided into two modules. In module one, you will learn about theoretical approaches to the study of IR including introductions to realist, liberal, critical, feminist and green approaches. Each theory provides an important perspective on the international system, foregrounding some actors and issues while backgrounding others. In module two, the subject examines important topics in international relations related to international security, war and peace, great power rivalry, the United Nations system including the United Nations Security Council, global poverty and international development, global climate politics, international terrorism, and human rights. The subject provides you with an introduction to the process, substance, and fast changing nature of international relations and world politics, including a basic knowledge of some key theoretical debates in the field. Following completion of the subject, you will have a broad understanding of international relations, which not only enables the better understanding of global events generally but also provides an essential platform to those wishing to complete a major in the field.</p>
