【Course Objectives】

• Students will be able to use critical and analytical thinking skills to actively engage in problem-solving and policy analysis regarding social, political, economic, and global issues.

• Students will be able to analyze and understand assigned reading selections before applying the highlighted theories and conceptual models underlying the analysis of international development and sustainability.

• Students will be able to apply coherent, logical and interpretive frameworks in order to formulate researchable problems and questions, design and conduct appropriate research, and apply various methods to interpret data and statistics.

【Course Contents】

Examine and understand the basic concept of international organizations and sustainability, and identify the key global challenges to sustainable development.

The idea of sustainable development is a key component of debates about environment and international development. Sustainable development is now stated as a principle policy goal of many of the international organizations around the world including the United Nations. The international organizations and sustainability course focuses on tracing the origins of the idea and understanding why sustainable development is a contested concept. Students are expected to use academic articles as sources while engaging in research.

Relevant data and visual materials will be presented to facilitate students to understand the major topics. Group discussions will be complemented by lectures to confirm students’ understanding.
