ISLAMIC LAW THROUGH TEXTS

This seminar is conducted mainly in Arabic sources. The purpose is to explore legal and political theory and (when possible) practices of Islamic cultures prior to the 19th century with a view to mapping political structures and constitutional organization in Islamic history, and their relationship to the Shari`a. Among the themes of interest are: structure and rationalization of theories of governance; ethics of rule; use of history as authorizing discourse in the culture of political administration; the nature of “branches of power” and separation thereof; siyasa shar`iyya in “law” and “politics” (or the relationship between “law” and “politics”); and the very meaning of politics and sovereignty in Islam; the possibility of a state of exception; enemy-friend distinction; and related themes. Proficiency in Arabic is required.

Politics & Policy of Urban Sustainabilit

Politics & Policy-Urban Sustai

Cities are increasingly recognized as a key level of government for environmental and sustainability policy. As at all levels, politics and policy are intensely intertwined, and perhaps moreso at the local level because the decisions involved often affect constituents directly and intimately -- in their neighborhoods, in their homes, in their commutes. This colloquium explores both the politics and the policy of sustainability in the municipal context. Covering a range of sustainability issues -- such as air quality, public health, and transportation -- it looks at the dynamics of making change happen at the local level, including variations in power among municipal governments; how issues get defined and allocated; how stakeholder management takes place (or doesnt); how agencies and levels of government interfere with each other; and how best practices can (and cannot) be transferred internationally. The course is reading-intense and includes case studies by historians rather than political scientists. The focus of most readings is on the United States, but students research projects will require looking beyond the US and transferring practices to a US city.

Energy Policy

The course provides a survey and analysis of the various dimensions, domestic and international, of policy formulation that, taken together, constitute energy policy. These dimensions include contributing to access to and production of natural energy resources; insuring the security and reliability of energy sources; promoting the diversity of fuels and development of new technologies in light of energy security and climate change mitigation objectives; promoting energy conservation and energy efficiency; environmental regulation at the domestic (air and water quality) and global (climate) levels. The objectives inspiring these policies are pursued through a combination of reliance on energy markets; subsidies and tax policy; development of energy infrastructure and a broad array of international policies influencing relations among and between net exporting and net importing countries. The origin of each policy issue, and lessons from significant market failures, are examined and the consequences of policy alternatives are evaluated. The major legal and regulatory themes of U.S. energy policy are examined (Part 1) and so are the essential dimensions of international policies affecting the international energy scene.

Dynamic Games

This course will focus on the game-theoretic study of long-run relationships. My
goal is to equip you to (i) create tractable models appropriate for studying whatever
applied settings interest you, and (ii) study such interactions in detail. Toward that
goal, we'll talk about important papers that develop the state of the art in dynamic
modeling, papers that point to subtleties/complexity in the study of dynamic and
repeated games, and papers that sidestep the latter to address speci?c applied questions.
See the course outline below for a list of topics we'll cover, together with the
speci?c papers that will come up along the way. We will cover some classic papers,
but more recent work is (deliberately) overrepresented here. Of course, this list of
topics and papers is not meant to be comprehensive, but I hope it will be a useful,
brief tour of the literature.
This class being a topics course, familiarity with basic tools of economic theory
and game theory that were covered in the ?rst-year micro sequence is essential.

Networks help us describe the complex interactions that occur among large populations of distinct
entities. Some have argued that their incorporation into economic models represents a paradigm
change for the ?eld. This course will introduce you to the central questions in current networks
research as well as the tools and methods used to study networks in economic theory. Topics we
will cover include network games and interventions, di?usion processes, network formation, social
learning and opinion dynamics, and networked markets. The course is divided into two halves. The
rst half will consist of lectures on these topics. In the second half, we will read and discuss recent
research papers.

Urban Social Policy

This course surveys social policymaking processes and outcomes from the perspective of cities in various parts of the world. It offers students analytical and empirical tools to better understand urban social problems (e.g. slums, homelessness, youth unemployment, child abuse, health risks) and the corresponding policies that promote more affordable, productive, inclusive, and healthier cities amidst fiscal constraints and intense economic competition. Case studies are utilized to delve deeper into specific issues, such as gender inequality, child welfare, cultural contexts, technologyenabled social innovation, public-private partnerships, and non-traditional redistributive programs. At the end of the semester we will hold the “Urban Social Policy Convention--The Cases of Success and Failures.” This event will deepen our understanding of emerging best practices and policies that have failed. This will help us to formulate new approaches in the future.

ACTING FOR SCREENWRITERS AND DIRECTORS

The course is intended to give the screenwriter and/or director an experiential understanding of acting and writing, thus enhancing the student’s ability to inhabit characters more fully as a writer, and to more effectively direct actors. The experience of embodying characters and living through plot subjectively enables a unique kind of understanding of structure, character and particulars such as “turning point” etc. In addition, the process of being well directed can open many doors to using impulse, spontaneity and intuition effectively in both writing and directing.

Role of States, Cities, & Subnationals i

Meeting Climate Challenge

This course examines the role of states, cities, and other sub-nationals in crafting and implementing the policy, technical, and behavioral changes necessary to address the climate crisis. While this topic has received increased attention since the election of Donald Trump in the United States, the reality is that cities, states, and other sub-nationals would still have an enormous, if not leading, role to play even with a cooperative federal government. Indeed, one could argue that subnationals represent the front lines in the fight. Substantively, our focus will be on the role of these actors in driving the necessary transition to clean energy, perhaps the key component in the overall effort to combat climate change. The energy sector is also particularly fertile ground for state and city action since states and cities oversee their power grids, establish building codes, and regulate electric and other utilities. Many of the issues and dynamics we will examine in the energy area also have direct application to other aspects of climate policy, such as food and agriculture and land use. The goal of the course is to get students to think more deeply about climate change and the complex intersection of science, economics, and politics that makes policy in this area so interesting and, at the same time, so difficult.

Financing Sustainable Development: The R

This course will focus on the practice of financing sustainable development. During the past several years, there has been significant attention given to the challenges of mobilizing public and private finance for sustainable development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Climate Agreement (PCA) have spurred a significant amount of activity in public policy, regulation, new financial instruments and asset class development. As a result, financing sustainable development is even more complicated than it was before, and requires students to have an understanding of a broad range of topics. The goal of this course is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the practical realities of the topic of sustainable finance. The course instructor has been directly involved with major aspects of the topic, including as a policy advisor to the United Nations, an expert advisor to the Asian Development Bank and Uganda Development Bank, and a senior executive at various global financial institutions.

POLITICAL CONCEPTS IN WAKE OF GEONTONTOP

POLTICL CNCPTS:GEONTOPOWE

It’s hot and it’s getting hotter. As the machinery of capital extraction, industrialism, and consumption refuses to relinquish its grip, meteorological temperatures continue to rise and chemical hot zones spread. Tipping points threaten regime shifts in which the qualitative nature of the earth’s biosphere will alter. But until then, and even after then, hot zones occur in the aggregate only in abstraction. In reality they form like weather clouds over specific places—toxic smog over Beijing, lead poisoning in drinking water in Flint, Michigan, uranium exposure in Navajo and Hopi lands. Marx thought the social dialectic was leading to the purification of the fundamental opposition of human classes. No little evidence can be mustered to support the claim that we are nearing this moment—the world seems to be splitting into ever more extreme halves—the one percent and the ever-increasing precariate. But what many believe we are witnessing a new form of antagonism and which demands new modes of solidarity. The new swelter seems to them less fundamentally a war of class—although also a class war, although definitely not a clash of civilization—and more a clash of existents. And in this new war of the world everyone must decide with whom (or what) we are making ties of solidarity. With whom or what will we stake our claim?

Corporate Finance

Corporate finance is an introductory finance course. It is a central course for students taking the international finance track of the International Finance and Economic Policy (IFEP) concentration. The course is designed to cover those areas of business finance which are important for all managers, whether they specialize in finance or not. Three fundamental questions will be addressed in this course: How much funding does a firm require to carry out its business plan? How should the firm acquire the necessary funds? Even if the funds are available, is the business plan worthwhile? In considering these questions, the following topics will be covered: analyzing historical uses of funds; formulating and projecting funding needs; analyzing working capital management; choosing among alternative sources of external funding for company operations; identifying costs of funds from various sources; valuing simple securities; evaluating investment opportunities; valuing a company based on its projected free cash flow The course will combine lecture time and in-class case discussions, for which students should prepare fully. The goal of the course is to provide students with an understanding of both sound theoretical principles of finance and the practical environment in which financial decisions are made.

Financial Inclusion

Research shows that countries with deeper levels of financial inclusion -- defined as access to affordable, appropriate financial services -- have stronger GDP growth rates and lower income inequality. In recent years, research around the financial habits, needs and behaviors of poor households has yielded rich information on how they manage their financial lives, allowing for the design of financial solutions that better meet their needs. While microfinance institutions remain a leading model for providing financial services to the poor, new models and technology developments have provided opportunities for scaling outreach, deepening penetration and moving beyond brick and mortar delivery channels. The course will provide an overview of financial inclusion, focusing on the key stakeholders and providers, including leading-edge mobile money offerings by telecos, as well as banks, cooperatives, and microfinance institutions. The course will examine the full range of financial services -- savings, credit, insurance and payments -- and will evaluate the early successes and failures of new and innovative approaches such as mobile financial services. The course will be highly interactive, with select leading industry experts as guest speakers, group assignments, debates, and presentations by students.
