Comment/Description

This seminar is part of the Introduction to Political Science module, which includes a lecture (Vorlesung) and a seminar. The BPOL101 lecture and seminar can have separate content material, but the two complement each other. Together they introduce students to the Political Science discipline.
The Global Issues seminar aims to present the subfield of International Relations (IR) by focusing on the global political challenges that we currently face.
Looking across the global landscape of the 21st century we encounter some curious paradoxes: Why do some states manage global health crises like COVID-19 better than others? Why cannot we distribute vaccines evenly and equally? What explains why famine and chronic malnutrition engulf much of the African continent even as the “Green Revolution” of the mid-20th century vastly increased global food production? Why are many of the countries most vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change those which contribute least to the solution of the problem? How do international organizations and non-governmental organizations address the issue of violence against women and the anti-gender movement? The main objective of this course is to provide an introduction to some of the major issues and challenges that world populations and leaders face today. We focus on the puzzling questions like those above, and discuss solutions to these global challenges
