Liberal Arts education provides a vast range of knowledge, and the intellectual tools to guide human beings to navigate the complexities of the contemporary world, revealing the relative arrangement of things and ideas. In short, Liberal Arts education provides a context for understanding our social structure, and the relations between people and among nations. It is within this realm that this course has been conceived and organized. It analyzes the relationships and interdependence of international actors, and the correlations and associations that help explain human behavior.
