| Abstract: | The primary focus of the course will be on the historic development of nations, institutions within nations, social movements, and historic trends across national borders. Comparative history, international relationships, and cross-national influences will be considered. The syllabi on comparative world slavery and colonization and freedom struggles are illustrative of topics on world global history. Since all sections of the course will focus on social institutions, political and social structures, governments, or nations, the course will satisfy the Analyzing Social Structures area. |
