LAS 146 - The United Nations and International Politics

The objective of this course is to develop a solid understanding of the United Nations; its organizational structure; major actors in the UN System; and its policies and programs. This course will be particularly useful for students interested in the Model UN progam. In this semester long course, we will examine the impact of the United Nations within the international state system. The focus will be on the scope and reach, general procedures, legitimacy of the United Nations, and the complex roles the different UN Secretary Generals play in international politics. In this course, we will also examine the role of the United Nations in brokering international peace, resolving conflicts, and analyze the UN peacekeeping and humanitarian operations.
