INTLPOL 217: The Future of Global Cooperation (PUBLPOL 217)

With autocracy resurgent and democracy on the decline, what is the future of global cooperation? What will be the fate of global institutions built to restore and maintain peace? Why pursue global cooperation at all? This seminar examines the role of the United Nations and other international organizations in responding to transborder threats in the modern era. Case studies may include the Syrian war, the Paris Climate Accord, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Students should enroll for three units. Those who wish to receive an additional unit of credit must write a long policy memo. See syllabus for details. Permission of instructor only; enrollment is capped. Course is cross-listed with LAW 5039.

INTLPOL 217A: Global Cooperation & US Foreign Policy

This limited enrollment research seminar will examine the tools, legal justifications, and theoretical underpinnings of global cooperation, with a particular focus on U.S. foreign policy in response to threats to peace and security. Topics will include institutional tools for unilateral and multilateral cooperation (peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, human rights, sanctions, human rights law and the role of international courts, lawfare, and soft power); international negotiations and agreements (negotiations to facilitate cooperation, treaties, executive agreements); the role of regional organizations, particularly in the use of force and in responding to conflicts (role of the UN, reforming the UN, responsibility to protect, domestic and international legal justifications for the use of force, human rights and humanitarian failures, refugees); and the impact of a changing world order on U.S. national security and global cooperation (changing liberal world order, great power competition, the impact of technological competition, the role of nongovernmental actors and corporations). Case studies include the Paris Climate Agreement, the Syrian war, Russian aggression in Ukraine, cyber-norm negotiations, and U.S. attempts to "de-couple" from China. A basic understanding of the advent and structure of the current world order will be assumed, as this is an advanced, limited enrollment course.
