Course description

This course is now POLS3502. This course examines some of the key moral dilemmas in global politics. It examines several ethical traditions, such as realism, communitarianism, cosmopolitanism and feminism in an attempt to provide students with the knowledge necessary to understand issues related to peace, morality and justice in international politics. The second part of the course then engages several practical issues, such as the role of human rights, humanitarian intervention and inequality.
