Favorite Hamilton Lugar class?

Diplomacy, Security, and Governance was one of the best courses I've taken so far. Starting with international relations theories and spending several weeks on the Cold War, this class provided a solid foundation for this concentration within the International Studies major. I was able to discover my passion for this aspect of international studies!
