POLS 0310 - "Non-Western" Political Thought

Credits: 3

This course is designed as an introduction to politics and political thought of the "Non-Western" world. Students will be comparing and contrasting ideas from the "West" with ideas from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America on issues such as how to best govern a society, the role of women in society, ecological concerns, and the effectiveness of violence to enact political change. While the answers provided by the "Non-Western" world are designed for a specific cultural circumstance, we will explore the ways that these thinkers and ideas may apply to "Western" concerns.
