Participants will learn about the principles of sovereignty, legitimacy and subsidiarity and how they provide an interwoven analytical framework for comprehending the trajectories of history. This combination provides a useful conceptual lens through which to scrutinize world trends and events. Geography shapes destiny. Politics and economics are inseparable. History repeats itself in that globalization is a recurring phenomenon even if the pace, scale and consequences of increasing interdependence changes. Media literacy is crucial to a thoughtful understanding of the world. Global threats and challenges require global responses and governance. Universal human rights are the end game of civilization.
