This course focuses specifically on the historical context and perspective of the relationship of politics and economics in modern societies. Students are guided through an interdisciplinary survey of the historical experience of peoples and places who have participated in the ongoing great transformation away from argricultural societies to the rise of the industrial state and onto post-industrialism. Each term provides a different perspective of this transformation.

This course examines the political and economic roots of inequality in the international system; the development of a European-dominated order (1870-1945) and its American successor (1945-present); race, gender and empire as forces shaping global governance, international law, and international relations theory.
