全球治理和國際制度
Global governance and international institutions
本課程專注于解釋存在于當代國際政治之中的一系列制度，側重于介紹全球制度以及理解它們所面對的挑戰。學生將建立起對普遍意義上全球治理挑戰的批判性理解以及關于環境、貿易和安全領域里全球治理的具體知識體系（通過案例研究）。本課程將尤其關注中國、美國、歐盟及其成員國的角色。對歐盟來說，我們將思考它在深度國際合作方面堪作典范的特色已經當前面對的壓力。對于非政府行為體來說，我們的討論將包括商業利益和非政府組織的角色。
This class will focus on explaining the range of institutions that exist in contemporary world politics, with a focus on global institutions, and understanding the challenges they face. Students will develop a critical understanding of the challenges of global governance in general, as well as detailed knowledge of global governance in the areas of environment, trade and security via case studies. The class will devote particular attention to the role of China, the United States and the European Union and its members, among other states. With respect to the European Union, we will consider the unique characteristics of this example of far-reaching international cooperation and the strains it currently faces. With respect to non-state actors, our discussion will include the role of business interests and non-governmental organizations.
