I took an international relations class when I was in college and all of the tests were so fucking stupid. Neoliberal answers were always considered the “best” (i.e. right) ones
It sucks because it's very lecturer specific. My IR unit was awesome, my lecturer gave good marks for critiques of US hegemony when the South China Sea stuff was really getting its start.
Edit: Also, my global political economy lecturer opened his first lecture critiquing the modern splitting of poltics and economics into distinct fields as a means of muddying the water and entrenching capitalist realism.
Edit: then again, by having a global political economy unit, don't know if it counts a PoliSci at that point...
Deadass had a polisci essay where were only allowed to cite works covered in class, which meant it was like 80% journal of democracy articles as evidence for which world system is best
