SoSe 15: Rising Powers in World Politics
Lora Anne Viola
Kommentar
This course examines the shifting distribution of power in world politics and its implications for the current global order that has largely been a product of American hegemony since the end of WWII. We will assess the changing nature of American power and the emergence of non-Western states as major players in world politics. The first part of the course is organized around thematic questions: what is the nature of the shifting balance of power, and what challenges does this shift bring for the United Nations, for global economic cooperation, and more generally for the ideas underlying global governance? The second part of the course is organized around getting to know the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and their past and prospective roles in world politics. It considers both relations between the US and the BRICS and also relations among the BRICS. The aim of the course is to understand how the emergence of these actors will affect the way the world responds to global challenges. Schließen
