INTNLREL 102: History of the International System since 1914 (HISTORY 102)
The course seeks to explain the history of international relations in the tumultuous century since 1914. It aims at a three-dimensional understanding, relating social and political structures of countries and regions to the primary shifts in the character of the competition between states, in the composition of the system, and in international institutions and norms. Great power interactions constitute the most visible element within the course: through the two world wars, into the Cold War, and beyond. Concurrently, we look within the empires and blocs of the Twentieth Century world, to consider the changing relationships between imperial centers and subject peoples. Lastly, we consider spirited if sporadic international efforts to pursue order, justice, and progress. This last pursuit also requires study of the proliferation of transnational non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

INTNLREL 117: Public Policy and Sustainability Challenges: Israel and the Middle East (GEP 233, INTLPOL 273, PUBLPOL 125)
During the past century while, the world's population has more than quadrupled and the population in Israel and its neighbors has grown ten-fold. Mounting consumption has produced an ever-increasing demand for consumer goods and natural resources. At the same time, climate change is already adversely affecting countries in the Middle East. These phenomena combine to place unprecedented pressure on the region's ecosystems and resources, producing myriad insults to environmental quality, public health and local ecosystem integrity. The course considers these issues based on the empirical experience of environmental policies implemented over the past forty-years. The final third of the class considers the potential for regional cooperation to produce improved environmental outcomes. Lectures will address a range of topics associated with concepts of carrying capacity, consumption and the impact of high population density on the quality of life and the environment of Israel and its neighbo

Lectures will address a range of topics associated with concepts of carrying capacity, consumption and the impact of high population density on the quality of life and the environment of Israel and its neighbors. The associated potential and limitations of technology, the impact of conflict on the environment and the potential of transboundary cooperation to produce win-win ecological dynamics will also be assessed. Topics considered include, biodiversity, climate change, marine ecosystem protection, water management and environmental justice. The course focuses on the associated policy insights, applying the experience of government interventions for improving the sustainability of life in Israel and the Middle East.

INTNLREL 127: The World and America (HISTORY 257F, POLISCI 217)
The course is about how 'America,' specifically the government of the United States, has affected the course of modern world history. The usual way of thinking about 'America and the world,' at least in the U.S., treats America as the subject and the rest of the world as its object. For better or worse. This course reverses the perspective. Our perspective starts with some of the big world problems over the last 130 years. Most of these arose outside of America and remained centered outside of America. For the people at the center of those foreign problems, a basic question often was: What does the United States have to do with this? If they wanted the Americans to get involved, what did they want from the Americans? The course is not organized around regions. It is organized around a historical list of world problems that powerfully influenced the course of modern history.

If they wanted the Americans to get involved, what did they want from the Americans? The course is not organized around regions. It is organized around a historical list of world problems that powerfully influenced the course of modern history. Given prevailing beliefs and economic conditions, the course zooms in on how the various governments saw their choices. Then come the questions of why the Americans might wish to engage with these problems, often in strange situations far from their knowledge or experience. And there are the questions of how the Americans thought they could make a difference, amid the contending strategies of those who lived in these foreign places. Chastened by recent failures, citizens everywhere are reconsidering whether or how the United States should engage in problems outside of its borders. Some feel that the benighted or blundering Americans just make things worse. Many Americans wonder how much to care about foreign problems. So, except where welcomed as tourists or business partners, why shouldn't they just stay home? It is a good time to reflect on how, historically, the Americans have impacted some of the world's great problems ¿ for worse or better.
