Debates in International Politics
This course critically examines arguments, analytical frameworks, and possible solutions for major debates in international politics. Students are encouraged to take positions on key economic, security, and global controversies. The course critically examines debates surrounding phenomena such as sovereignty, imperialism, terrorism, world governance, and state failure. And it investigates disputes over international injustice, environmental degradation, global trade, as well as America’s role toward China and the rest of the world.
War Crimes, Genocide, and Justice
This course examines the relationship between law and warfare, including the historical evolution of the law of war; war crimes and crimes against humanity, and their punishments; the Geneva Conventions; the growth of international human rights; and the concept of genocide. We examine the trial of Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg, the 1968 massacre at My Lai in Vietnam, the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, the International Criminal Court, and post-9/11 US policies on detention, torture, and trial, including the response of Congress and the Supreme Court, and related topics. The focus is on broad concepts of law, justice, and accountability in warfare and genocide. No prior knowledge of legal or military systems is required.
Globalization and US National Security
This course examines globalization as a contemporary security phenomenon, and potential US policy responses. Globalization is simultaneously an integrating force and a fragmenting one. Globalization can widen economic gaps, fueling anger and frustration among already disparate groups. Further, it has resulted in what some call the democratization of information, opening the floodgates of access and linkages to those with both positive and negative intent. The relationship between globalization, before and after the 2008 global financial meltdown, and future security issues is explored, focusing on impacts relevant to US national security strategy.
Options in Government
Harvard Summer School offers several open-enrollment courses, specialized in Government, such as ”Debates in International Politics”; ”War Crimes, Genocide, and Justice” and ”Globalization and US National Security”.
War, Peace, and Power: Diplomatic History of Europe
For much of the past five centuries, the history of the European continent has been a history of chaos, its civilization thrown into turmoil by ferocious wars or bitter religious conflicts—sometimes in combination—that have made and remade borders, created and eliminated entire nations, and left a legacy that is still influencing our world.
China, India and the United States: The Future of Economic Supremacy.
You are living at a critical moment of change for the world economy. A moment that will be defined by the economic trajectories of three key players. A moment whose outcome will have a deep and lasting impact on the way you live. Recent years have seen a dramatic, unprecedented transformation in the landscape of the global economy. And the catalyst of this transformation—destined to create a new economic order that will scarcely resemble that of the last 300 years—is undoubtedly the rise of China and India. Both nations, which represent around 37% of the world’s population, have experienced a rapid surge in annual economic growth of 7% to 10% in the last decade alone—a growth rate that is nothing short of miraculous.
