| Credit Hours | Recitation/Lecture Hours | Studio Hours | Clinical Hours | Lab Hours |
The end of the “Cold War Geopolitical Order” in 1990 has led to the emergence of a still to be defined new global order, characterized by both increased globalization and fragmentation. Post cold-war conflicts, in turn, often hearken back to conflicts of a pre-cold war era, which has been characterized as “Inter-Imperial Rivalry.” The goal of this course is to get a “big picture” view of the defining events of the 20th century, and to trace the connections among these events and a variety of modern conflicts. A “social cube” model of ethnopolitical conflicts will be used as a heuristic for examining the effects of various defining events. Examples of "defining events" include: origins of WWI, the Russian Revolution, the Versailles Treaty and the League of Nations, the Great Depression, the rise of Fascism, the origins of WWII, Stalinism and the Cold War, Israel and the origins of the Palestinian/Arab conflict, the Civil Rights and Women’s movements, and globalization of the world economy. | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
