International Relations

Several faculty offer courses in the history of international relations, especially in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. These courses often examine not just the diplomatic, economic, and military interactions among states but also the cultural, social, and intellectual climate in which those interactions occur.

Major topics include imperialism, globalization, the origins and conduct of wars, the impact of technology, and the links between economic and geopolitical change. Students working in these areas can benefit from the Lyndon Johnson Presidential Library, the Harry Ransom Center, and the Center for American History, among other major archives located on campus.
