Perhaps there is no more important topic of seriousstudy in the post cold war period.

On the contrary, it is the right and duty of everycitizen to be informed about the conditions that promote andhinder the furtherance of peace and justice – whether thosenotions are defined in personal, domestic or global terms.Required:CreditsIS 4360 Cultural Diversity and American Society(DICO) (INCO) 3PO 1030 World Politics 3PY 4910 Independent Study (capstone experience) 3Complete one of the following: 3IS 3560 Philosophical Perspectives on War and Peace(GACO) (INCO)PY 3560 Philosophical Perspectives on War and Peace(GACO) (INCO)Complete one of the following: 3AN 3170 Anthropology of Conflict and LawAN 3900 Applied AnthropologyEN 2480 Contemporary Global LiteratureIS 3470 Women in Contemporary American Culture(INCO)PS 3030 Social PsychologyPY 1120 Doing Right and Being Right (DICO)SO 2380 Social ProblemsSO 3160 Women in World DevelopmentPre-Law Minor18 creditsOffered by the Pre-Law CouncilPre-Law Council: Roger O.
