HIST 454 - International Relations Theory for Historians

Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 4 hours
Attribute: 4SS, WR
This course concerns the curious disciplinary divide between political science and history, and considers how the two approaches can inform each other. In the first part of the course, we work our way as historians through the broad schools of international relations theory (IR). In the second half of the course, we examine recent works in “international history,” the successor to “diplomatic history,” and explore how historians draw intentionally or unintentionally from varieties of IR.
