WELCOME!
This course is
structured for students interested in pursuing a university education. The class
features many characteristics of an introductory University level Political
Science course: weekly readings, lectures, seminars, tutorials, debates,
mid-term and final examinations, and a reading week. This method of program
delivery is an attempt to facilitate the transition from secondary education to
post-secondary education.
In recent years world politics has been shaken by profound changes. Most
significant is the disintegration of the Soviet Union, one of the world's two
“superpowers.” Many world leaders and scholars have declared a new world order,
and as changes in East Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and East Asia
show, the end of the Cold War has had broad consequences. Yet, certain features
of international relations remain constant: wars, trade disputes, human rights
violations, and disparities in wealth are still with us. CPW4U provides a
framework for understanding these changes and continuities by giving a broad
introduction to world politics. The course helps students understand different
theoretical approaches and analyzes such basic concepts as power, national
interests, and international institutions. Among the topics discussed are the
nature of the international system, causes of conflict, conditions for
international cooperation, diplomacy and decision making, and the role of
international law and organization in controlling conflict. All topics will
simultaneously be related to the Canadian perspective.
