PSC 375 - Global Political Thought (3 cr.)

How do non-Western perspectives transform the way we think about politics and address political concepts like freedom, democracy, and resistance? How does the history of colonialism impact contemporary political ideas and political practice? This course engages such questions through a study of Chinese, Indian, Islamic, African and African diasporic, Caribbean, and Latin American political thought. Student will develop greater knowledge about non-Western politics, an increasingly globalized framework for evaluating political questions, and deeper critical thinking skills.
