It has become rather commonplace in the study of international relations to frame the over-arching challenge to policymakers/statespersons as one of creating “world order”, and conversely, to see conflict and policy failure as evidence of world “disorder”. In this course, we will explore how scholars and practitioners, in the United States and other countries/regions, have thought about the nature of world order, both as a description of international relations at various times and places in history, and as a policy objective.
