Whiskey...your professors have probably already assigned you plenty of reading (probably including the ones I list below), but let me throw out a few titles for you that may help you structure your own thoughts and opinions:
The End of History by Fukuyama
Clash of Civilizations by Huntington
The Pentagon's New Map by Barnett
The Lexus and the Olive Tree by Friedman
These are some of the foundational texts of "post-Cold War" studies. Bear in mind that the world is in a very strange place right now and no one is really quite sure yet what the driving dynamic(s) is, so alot of what you read is going to be contradictory and alot you probably won't agree with. Still, they should help you get your head around some of the broader issues and give you a starting point to reason your own opinions from.
