Learning Objectives
The goal of the course is to prepare students to understand how the world got to be the way it is today and the forces that govern its ongoing evolution. The course goes beyond study of the formal relations between states - the traditional subject matter of diplomatic history - to address themes in social, cultural, and intellectual history.
Program
