HIST 440 The World Since 1945

The World Since 1945 has been molded by the decline of European colonial empires and the rise of globalism and multiculturalism in all its forms. Forces changing our contemporary world include new forms of terrorism, guerilla warfare, and the religious state. The contemporary world, however, is also a world increasingly governed by ideas about international law and commerce, for example, in the evolution of European unification and the role of United Nations in world affairs. Pre-requisite: ENGL 120 - College Composition II or ENGL 121H - Honors Composition II. This course is part of the university's Writing Across the Curriculum/Writing in the Disciplines program.
