Global Developments: The Past in the Present

At NSSC, Northfield Location: 

Arthur Cyr, Ph.D., Director, Clausen Center for World
Business, Carthage College

This course will place current and recent developments in
international relations in historical context. There is a tendency, especially
among Americans, to regard current developments as contemporary only. However,
to a remarkable degree, long-term trends define and guide what happens in our
contemporary world. This is true in the fields of defense and national
security, the global economy, and international law.  What has changed dramatically is the physical
condition of human life, not the outlooks and perspectives of human existence.
Technology is a principal driving force of change; ethics and morality provide
fundamental continuities. Philosophy and religion will be integrated with the
concepts of economics, history, and political science in this three-week
course. No class November 29.

Pre-registration is recommended.  To register, call NSSC at 847-784-6030 or stop by NSSC today!  Web site:  www.nssc.org
