Students who successfully complete this course will gain an understanding of the historical contexts of such concepts as colonialism, imperialism, nationalism, political revolution, global conflict, and peace building. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the development and values of Western and non-Western cultures and the interrelations between people, systems, and social forces.
