About this Course
To explain how globalization rebuilt public policy and social behavior, we study the different political, economic, and social actors – public or private, individual or collective – and the exchanges and interactions between them that are remaking international relations. This course is inspired by a French sociological and historical approach to international relations. This course is also available in french version: www.coursera.org/learn/espace-mondial-fr/

SCIENCES PO IS AN INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH UNIVERSITY, BOTH SELECTIVE AND OPEN ONTO THE WORLD, RANKING AMONG THE FINEST INSTITUTIONS IN THE FIELDS OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES.
Sciences Po was created because its founder, Emile Boutmy, wanted to build from scratch an institution of higher education that the elites of the time lacked. One hundred and fifty years later, Sciences Po has become an international research university with 14,000 students. But the foundation of our education remains driven by the same vocation: to better understand the world in order to change it for the better.
Sciences Po stands out for combining approaches and confronting different worldviews. This tradition of diversity and multidisciplinary approach makes Sciences Po an active participant in public debate, a forum where thought meets action.
