We will cover works that address different levels of analysis\u00a0from the international system to domestic politics to individual leaders\u2014and that span\u00a0major theoretical paradigms, including Realism, Liberalism and Constructivism. International\u00a0Relations is an attempt to understand how and why events unfold in the way that they do. Accordingly,\u00a0we attempt to use this understanding to predict how similar events will unfold in the\u00a0future, and take action to impact these events in the international environment. As a result, any\u00a0course dealing with politics necessarily must account for historical forces driving current action.\u00a0World politics directly impacts the quality of your environment, the size of your pocketbook, the\u00a0extent of your personal freedoms, and the length and quality of your life. Accordingly, this\u00a0course will explore the broad forces at play in the world: international economics, national interests,\u00a0military power, nationalism, theories of IR, the environment, and human rights.<\/p>\n<h2>Objectives &#038; Learning Outcomes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Knowledge of the major theories and approaches in the discipline of International Relations.<\/li>\n<li>Knowledge of major substantive themes in International Relations.<\/li>\n<li>Ability to think critically about the relevance of mainstream theories of International Relations and their relevance to experience and interests of actors in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Basic understanding of the major international and regional institutions in world politics as\u00a0well as significant developments in world politics.<\/li>\n<li>Ability to analyze world politics from a variety of theoretical perspectives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Teaching Philosophy<\/h2>\n<p>Do not fear to dissent from the taken-for-granted or assumed \u201cbest\u201d path. Question yourself; defend\u00a0your point of view, without being dismissive of alternative positions or disrespectful of\u00a0others. Use alternative ways of seeing to map the limitations of your own gaze, and to sharpen\u00a0its focus. Recognize that learning is a process of cooperative conflict: ultimately, we argue with\u00a0texts, distant authors, and each other in order to advance a dialogue, not to defend a dogma. If\u00a0the instructor asks for clarification or pushes you to expand on a comment or position, he does\u00a0so with this in mind, not to \u201cmake you feel dumb\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Short Paper Presentations <\/h2>\n<p>I expect you to attend all class sessions, do all the assigned reading before each class, and come\u00a0to class prepared to discuss the readings in depth. Your active participation in class discussions\u00a0is very important; it will account for 30 percent of your grade. To summarize your readings, you\u00a0will write a short paper for each class and bring it to the classroom for discussion. (at least 2\u00a0pages). As mentioned, the style of teaching\/learning process will be discussion each week. You\u00a0will need to submit both an electronic and hard copy of your paper to the instructor. And you\u00a0will get 15 points in total from these documents you handed over.<\/p>\n<h2>Evaluation of Midterm &#038; Final Examination<\/h2>\n<p>You can demonstrate your knowledge on a midterm &amp; final examination. The exams will likely\u00a0consist of 4 parts. First, you will identify on a world map a number of countries identified by\u00a0their names or by their place in this semester\u2019s major news stories. Second, you will answer a series\u00a0of multiple choice questions based on the lectures and readings. Third, you will have a section\u00a0of short answer\/identification of importance in which you discuss the relevance or application\u00a0of a given concept. Fourth, you will answer two essay questions. I will choose some of these\u00a0questions to place on your final exam, of which you will choose to answer two. The exams\u00a0will, of course, be closed book\/closed note.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tMidterm Exam<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t10%<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAttendance<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t10%<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIn-Class Discussion and Presentation (paper)<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t40%<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFinal Exam<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t40%<\/p>\n<h2>Selected Readings <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>E.H.
