Naimark, Norman, Sherwood-Randall, Elizabeth, and Miller, H. Lyman, "Great Power Relations in a New International System"

"This session provides students who have no theoretical background with a framework for understanding the new developments in international relations, insofar as they relate directly to the aftermath of 9-11. Has 9-11 altered the way that we conceive of the international system? How can ""states"" fight a terrorist ""network""? This session will explain changes in inter-state relations between the great powers and security structures, specifically NATO, EU member countries, Britain, Russia, and China. Can an enduring coalition be built among these players?

Discussion: How can we evaluate these shifts in international relations? How much has actually changed? Is the ""coalition against terrorism"" enduring or transient? What will the system look like over the next several years?"
