We are witnessing the solidifying of an axis of countries—China, Iran, North Korea and Russia—united in their willingness to violate international law and promote terror by starting wars, developing nuclear weapons and violating sanctions. They are part of a far broader group of nations and movements hostile to the West—small but influential groups like Hamas and the Houthis. Some Western officials have suggested these countries mark a new “axis of evil,” a reference to a phrase infamously used by President George W. Bush at the start of the war on terror more than twenty years ago. This course explores the backstory, key events and recent developments that have driven these governments into a complex alliance that threatens democracy, the environment and world peace. This course uses the Hybrid format which allows students to participate remotely and/or in the classroom. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
Hybrid course: combination of in-person and live-online.
