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...
