<Title>New Arctic Geopolitics Course</Title>
<Tagline>Available Winter Session 2020</Tagline>

    <em>POLI 409, Selected Topics in Political Science: </em><span><em>Arctic Geopolitics</em>, is currently open and available for the Winter Session 2020 in </span><span>January as an online course.  Here's a description from instructor </span><span>Brian Grodsky.  </span><span>For more info, contact him at </span><span><a href="mailto:bgrodsky@umbc.edu">bgrodsky@umbc.edu</a> or see attached document.</span>

    <div><span><strong>Course Description</strong></span></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The goal of this course is to introduce students to the rapidly evolving</div>
    <div>international competition over the Arctic. There are currently eight Arctic states that span <span>from the enormous, including the United States and Russia, to the tiny, such as Denmark </span><span>and its dependent territory, Greenland. But as global warming continues to transform the </span><span>Arctic, new and formidable powers, from Europe to Asia, are expressing greater interest </span><span>in the region. They are drawn by the promise of newly accessible resources, from oil and</span>
    </div>
    <div>gas to shipping lanes. The frozen, inhospitable territory long overlooked by most of <span>humanity is suddenly attracting enormous attention.</span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This course takes a broad approach to the human experience in the Arctic,</div>
    <div>beginning with an overview of the Arctic and its historic place in geopolitics, as well as <span>the environmental changes that have begun to alter both the land and sea in profound </span><span>ways. Next, we explore the central economic draw to the region, including oil, gas, and </span><span>transportation networks, before exploring ethical and legal constraints on human activity </span><span>there. Finally, we consider individual country interests and common attempts at </span><span>international governance of the Arctic.</span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This course is designed to provide an overview of the various issues facing the <span>Arctic, but also to expand your set of critical thinking skills more broadly.  </span><span>You will </span><span>become adept at analyzing and writing critiques of arguments found in the academic </span><span>literature, and you will also learn how to apply your newly acquired analytical abilities to </span><span>the every day world. At the end of this course, students should walk out of the classroom </span><span>with a heightened understanding of the changing Arctic's ramifications throughout the </span><span>world and as a challenge and opportunity for our country.</span>
