Seminar in International Relations Theory (DHP-D201)

Fall 2024 · DHP D201 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

For those students who do not plan to specialize in international relations, this course is designed to provide a grounding in the basic concepts, theories, and literature of international relations theory. For those who plan on specializing in IR, the course is designed to expose you to a variety of theoretical approaches and debates that you will see repeatedly in your future career. For those who question the need to understand feminist or Marxist approaches to social life, think of the course like Don Corleone would: keep your intellectual friends close, but your intellectual enemies closer. The more you know about approaches you dislike, the better equipped you are to develop a sophisticated and nuanced rejection of the approach.
