About This Activity
1. Students will be introduced to the international framework whereby states and international organizations interact and seek to influence outcomes. 2. Through an understanding of the major theories of International Relations, students will examine three significant issues facing governments and other actors in the international order. By being able to identify and examine the interests, abilities, and constraints on these international actors, students will be able to explain the motivations and possible outcomes of policies on the relationships between international actors. 3. Finally, students will be able to view issues in international relations through a biblical worldview. Patrick S. Anderson was raised in a military home and currently lives in Tampa, Florida.
