International Theory is a course offered in the Political Science Department that I was enrolled in this semester. It was one of my favorite classes and one that made me commit to my major. In the beginning of my college career, I was not sure if Political Science should be my major or how much I would enjoy it. Through this class, however, I was able to discover how fascinating politics can be and its presence in every aspect of life. The lectures and essay questions on the exam were intriguing. The class is concerned with the various international theories that drive the international system, the driver of the international relations in the absence of a “world government” and about anarchy, hierarchy and justice . Some of the questions it asks include why there is so much order in the world today considering that it is an anarchy, why the third world does not revolt and resist the inequalities they face compared to the first world, and the structure the international system is heading towards.
This class was enjoyable, insightful and eye-opening. I would recommend anyone interested in international politics to take this course because it helps one understand how the world is operating today by showing the theories, policies and though-process that is leading the operation. I have certainly enjoyed this class.
