The Department of Political Science in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Prince Edward Island has an opening for a Sessional Instructor to teach POLS-4830 American-European Relations in the Post-Cold War – Winter 2020. This position is subject to final budgetary approval.

POLS-4830 American-European Relations in the Post-Cold War

For over 60 years, the Atlantic Alliance continues to reflect sharply different perspectives facing the Western world in the 21'st century. In his landmark essay on the subject Robert Kagan argued that Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus. This course will examine the roots of European-American tensions since 1945 but the essential focus of the seminars will be the contemporary global system and issues confronting both sides that have arisen with the end of Communism, the tragedy of 9/11, international terrorism, nuclear proliferation and challenges in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the Brexit fiasco.
