    Recent events indicate that we are entering a new era in world politics — the rise of China and the importance of the Asia-Pacific region, dramatic changes in the Middle East, war in Eastern Europe, the increasing significance of India, etc. This is accelerated by the impact of several disturbing features that are unfolding – the social media, climate change, the after-tow of Covid, and other developments. How will this affect America’s position in the world? Will there be more or less conflict? What happens to the divide between rich and poor nations? What will be the role of economic factors — oil, global trade, multi-nationals, and financial institutions? What can the United Nations do? Who will be the winners and losers? This course will examine these and other issues in the context of current world affairs.
