| Summary, etc. |
"As we build a global community, this is a moment of truth. Our success isn't just based on whether we can capture videos and share them with friends. It's about whether we're building a community that helps keep us safe-that prevents harm, helps during crises, and rebuilds afterwards. How did the global community, both as an idea and as a reality, emerge and develop? This question may be examined in many ways, but one possible approach would be to look at the creation, growth, and activities of international organizations, both governmental and nongovernmental. Today we are close to taking our next step. Our greatest opportunities are now global-like distribution prosperity and freedom, promoting peace and understanding, lifting people out of poverty, and accelerating science. Our greatest challenges also need global responses - like ending terrorism, fighting climate change, and preventing pandemics. Progress now requires humanity coming together not just as cities or nations, but also as a global community. The contemporary world is an ever-changing mix of social and political changes. While religious, political, and ethnic conflicts continue, we are currently living in one of the most peaceful eras in the history of the planet. Challenges of the 21st century include emerging technologies, health care, overpopulation, climate change, poverty, illiteracy, disease, and migration. How we choose to deal with these emerging frontiers will shape this course for future generations.<br/>This course offers a good understanding of the process through which the contemporary world came into being, of the current discussion in global history, and of relevant theories and approaches. The course will be of interest to students understanding in international relations and politics, economics and development, providing the historical context within which to place contemporary developments in and against which to test general claims about the world today. The content coverage is in six units under three sections." -- Back cover |
