Switzerland: International Studies, Organizations, and Social Justice

Coursework

The thematic seminar addresses the most contemporary international issues within an interdisciplinary framework. Students examine the strategies and responses of international, supranational and non-governmental organizations to current challenges to peace and stability. Coursework addresses the political, economic, security, strategic and environmental dimensions of the rapidly evolving international system in the context of globalization.

The course seeks to facilitate a more profound understanding of multilateral diplomacy, conflict management, European Union politics, and international economic relations. Students develop analytical skills and critical thinking on international issues, gain insight on multilateral institutions and build networks with international experts.

The following syllabi are either from a recent session of this program or for an upcoming session. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.

The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.
