About this course
In a world of globalization and global threats, financial contagion, terrorism, proliferation, climate change, health crises, this course examines the role of international institutions and norms and asks whether they can make the world a safer, more just place. Why did states create global institutions and why in these forms? How does their structure limit or reinforce their ability to address problems? How do norms develop and change? What is the role of NGOs and of multinational corporations? How must the system adapt to new actors and challenges?This course is an elective for the MPA program. Open to Austin W. Marxe School of Public and International Affairs students; others with Marxe School permission.
