This course will use movies to understand and explain international issues. Through classroom discussions, readings and films that deal with international issues, we will analyze how these films shed light on international affairs, how they show us different perspectives on such issues and deepen our understanding. We will see 6 to 8 movies during the semester and discuss how the content of the movie relates to what you have learned in your studies in international relations. In these movies and readings, we will focus on issues like foreign policy making, war, terrorism, ethnic conflict, identity, environmental issues, revolutions, civil wars, foreign intervention, international institutions, espionage, Cold War and so on.
