Course Content
International relations is often understood as the study of politics premised on inter-governmental relations. Therefore. mainstream theoretical accounts tend to privilege interaction among states as the paramount. if not only or exclusive. site of thematization. As a result. the global context is reduced in mainstream treatments to security. diplomacy and aspects of inter-governmental association. This course. seeking to remedy this gap. probes into the trans-national. trans-local. inter-ethnic traces and bonds in the wider global context through an exploration of various themes in the disciplines other than IR.
