Course Description: What is the global world order, and how is it perceived? This course makes a philosophical analysis of the ways human actors—as participants, spectators, and individual and social agents—engage in, interpret, and justify processes in international relations. The awareness of these complex realities may induce emotions such as surprise, anxiety, and even rage and fear, and therefore incorrect judgments and ideology-biased emotions.
