Advances in International Relations Theory: Course Description
This course, examining old and new theories in international relations, is offered by the Department of Political Science at MIT in Cambridge, MA. The course begins by exploring classical theories of international relations. These include theories in realism, neo-realism, liberalism, neo-liberalism, institutionalism and neo-institutionalism. Students probe the utility of these theories looking for modern day applications. The course asks how new challenges in international relations can be dealt with by the classical theories. In addition, students formulate new ideas and theories to meet emerging challenges to the environment and others presented by technological advances. Students ask where the old theories fail and how advances in international relations theories can answer new questions. Political science professor Dr. Nazli Choucri teaches this course. To complete the class, students must have an Internet connection and access to the required readings.
This OpenCourseWare includes a syllabus, readings list, assignments, exams and a full download of the course material. Those interested in this free course should visit the 'Advances in International Relations Theory' course page.
