全球通信, 技术的进步, and burgeoning inter国家 trade and investment have increased the frequency and complexity of inter国家 relations. As globalization increases, the potential for inter国家 cooperation and conflict expands as well. The inter国家 relations program at 大峡谷州立大学 provides students with the opportunity to gain a broad base of knowledge about the 历史, 经济学, and politics of interaction among states and non-state actors. 学生 in the inter国家 relations program examine the sources of tension that create conflict among nations and societies, 学习全球化和相互依存, and learn about the ways in which trans国家 movements, 国际组织, and public diplomacy can promote inter国家 cooperation.
Inter国家 relations is an interdisciplinary program that includes coursework in political science, 历史, 经济学, 业务, 地理位置, 还有外国文化. 作为他们学习的一部分, students are encouraged to become proficient in a foreign language and to study abroad. The Capstone course in inter国家 relations allows students to bring together the threads of knowledge they have gathered in interdisciplinary coursework and gives them a chance to pursue independent research on an inter国家 relations topic of their choice.
