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.  We 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 cultual circumstance, we will explore the ways that these thinkers and ideas may apply to “Western” concerns.
