1 SYLLABUS Introduction to International Relations Yonsei International Summer School (YISS) Summer 2012 Professor Chung Min LEE Dean, Graduate School of International Studies and Underwood International College Yonsei University Tel: , I. Course Description This course offers a birds-eye-view of world politics and international affairs in the early 21 st century including the origins and evolutions in global affairs since the end of World War II, traditional and non-traditional sources of conflict, problems associated with conflict management, newly emerging global security challenges including global climate change, environmental degradation, the rise of new powers, and key evolving concepts that are likely to affect and shape the global village over the next years. The study of world politics and international affairs is a relatively new field, i.e., based primarily on developments since the post-1945 era. Yet over the past six decades, the field has evolved beyond anyone s imagination. The world in 1945 compared to 2011, for example, is nearly beyond comparison. The sheer magnitude of issues, actors, societies, organizations, and technological revolutions defies any orderly conceptualization. Yet, one of the key goals of this course is to enable students to understand, analyze, and predict trends and issues in the global village. Today, the ever-changing field encompasses aspects of traditional international relations, military studies and defense planning, arms control and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, economic and energy security, international law and regimes, and human and environmental security, gender equality, and human rights to name just a few of the more relevant sub-fields in world politics. Many of these elements are evident in the on-going Jasmine Revolution throughout the greater Middle East. At a fundamental level, the course seeks to seeks to understand the visible and invisible forces which shapes the so-called Five C s Spectrum, e.g., Conflict Crisis Collaboration Co-existence Cooperation. The first half of the course is devoted primarily to excavating the historical, conceptual, and theoretical components of international affairs. The second half (after the mid-term) emphasizes some of the more salient issues confronting humanity in the early 21 st century. This course is designed for undergraduate students (particularly for freshmen and sophomores) who may seek to broaden and deepen their understanding of international relations. 1

2 II. Lectures, Requirements, and Evaluation Although it would be helpful if students have had exposure to international relations, world history, and international economics, there is no prerequisite for the class given that it is designed as an introductory module for the Yonsei International Summer School (YISS) for those who may want to major in International Relations or are interested in exploring and understanding key global issues. The final grade is going to be decided on the basis 0f a mid-term exam, final exam, and attendance/class participation. Readings: All lecture notes, syllabus, and relevant materials will be posted on YSCEC. Whenever possible, reading materials will be posted on YSCEC although there will be a course packet. Students must read all of the required materials. From time to time, case studies will be posted on YSCEC that will be discussed in the following week. Given that a full semester worth of work is compressed into six weeks, the required readings are limited to those contained in the syllabus although students are actively encouraged to search think-tanks, media outlets, government sources, etc., to buttress the readings and to also enhance the diversity of views and sources. Office Hours: Office hours will be announced on the first day of class. If students have an urgent matter to discuss outside of office hours, please make an appointment with my T.A., see me after class, or me. III.
