TERROR, ADVENTURE, TRAVEL

(Seminar). This seminar will look at the work of three displaced writers in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, and the way in which movement itself, whether through the streets of London, or across the world by ship, or from America to Europe, produces dark anxieties, loss of identity and a sense of terror among protagonists in the fiction of these three writers. The texts to be studied include ‘Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’, ‘Heart of Darkness’, ‘The Turn of the Screw’, ‘Lord Jim’, ‘The Portrait of a Lady’, ‘The Secret Sharer’ and ‘The Jolly Corner’.

COMPARATV POLITICS SURVEY II

This graduate level seminar is designed to introduce students to many of the main questions motivating research in comparative politics. The course is not designed as exercise in intellectual history, although some "classics" are included. It is also not designed to teach particular approaches or methods in the study of comparative politics, although many such approaches and methods are included in the readings. Instead, it is designed to give students a sense of what we "know" today about the answers to some major questions that animate the subfield and to encourage students to develop the analytical skills, substantive knowledge, and theoretical insights necessary to make their own contributions to comparative politics and political science. Comparative Politics Survey II builds on the topics developed in Comparative Politics Survey I, but can easily be taken before taking Comparative Politics Survey I. Topics to be covered in the surveys include among others, institutions, culture, parties, violence, collective action, economic development, bureaucracy, regimes and regime change, the welfare state, corruption and political behavior.

FINANCIAL ISSUES IN LATIN AMER

Prerequisites: SIPA U6400 or SIPA U6401
Financial issues have been at the heart of Latin America's volatile and relatively poor economic performance. Inflation, financial crisis, defaults. Latin America has seen them all. Also, in 2014, Latin America and the Caribbean saw the fastest growth of any region in terms of new registered mobile money accounts. Bitcoins are already circulating for example in Argentina. As aspiring entrepreneurs, policymakers or staff from international organizations, students interested in performing in Latin America must understand the region's financial systems and how government's policies (including financial inclusion policies) could affect the local economy, particularly in response to unexpected external events. This is a very applied hands-on course where analytical tools typically used in international organizations and private investment companies to analyze country vulnerabilities are discussed and used. Case study discussions are a central part of the course. In this setting, LA economies are discussed vis-à-vis economies from other regions, e.g., Brazil vis á vis Korea; Argentina vis á vis Greece.

ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR

This course explores both timeless and topical issues for senior managers in governmental, not-for-profit, and for-profit enterprises viewed through the lenses of organizational behavior (“OB�). As senior managers mobilize for change or reform, how do the issues of individual motivation, group wherewithal, and organization capacity affect the prospects for change, shape options, and frame action – and what should managers do next? These are the central questions of the course. We have little interest in answers that are disconnected from the realities of practice. Our goal, rather, is to provide mid-career practitioners who are intent on lifting organization performance and transforming service or product delivery with tactical, practical, and actionable insights they can use every day. Grounded in OB research and theory, and rooted firmly in current practice, organizational reality, and the wisdom of experience (peers and others), this class will help you become a more effective leader, and develop the insight, skills and behaviors you will need to succeed.

Through a detailed investigation of eight significant case studies, this course will take a close look at past efforts of the United States to manage relations with "enemies" or adversaries. The course will examine the different strategies Presidents have used to "talk to the enemy": Roosevelt's 1933 opening of relations with the USSR; the decision at Munich to "appease" Hitler, Nixon's opening to China; the long delayed efforts to cease the war in Vietnam: the decision to invade Iraq in 2003 and the current debates over whether the US should talk directly with Iran and how best to deal with Cuba.  The course will conclude with some examination of how the US might deal with groups in the new paradigm --  non-state actors such as Taliban, Hamas, and Hezbollah Several key themes will be interwoven throughout the course.

BENCHMARKING SKILLS FOR PROCESS & ORG IM

BENCHMARKING SKILLS DEVELOPMNT

The successful execution and evaluation of programs within a sector of government, or a private company, depend heavily on the ability of an organization to continually improve performance.  It follows that effective (in both the private and public sectors) hinges on an understanding of best practices within organizations. Benchmarking is the process of continually comparing and measuring against other organizations anywhere in the world to gain information on philosophies, practices and measures which will help an organization take action to improve its performance. This course provides an introduction to the structural basis of benchmarking, which consists of 5 primary phases - 1) Plan, 2) Baseline, 3) Collect Information, 4) Analyze Information, 5) Make Recommendations.  Using a public sector-based case study with "hands-on" group activities, as well as other real-world examples offered by the instructors, this course will also teach students how to use various tools and techniques when conducting activities within each benchmarking phase to help them implement successfully.

TOPICS IN HEALTH ECONOMICS

This course surveys what is possible, interesting, and convincing in health economics research. To this end, the course focuses on the recent empirical literature of health determinants. This literature has benefited from: a) the application of empirical tools pioneered in labor economics, and; b) the quantity and quality of readily-available microdata on health outcomes. While the course's focus is squarely on empirical determinants of health, three theoretical frameworks guide the course: the human capital model of health (Grossman 1972), the theory of capacity formation (Cunha & Heckman 2007), and the potential outcomes framework (Rubin 1974).

POL & PRAC HUMANITARIAN ASST

Humanitarian agencies became major players in the intra-state conflicts that characterized the 1990s. However, this prominence also led to critical examination, both from within and outside these agencies. The dilemmas of field workers led to new questions: How can the challenges presented by the fragmentation of state authority be addressed? Is there a way to link relief to development? Is there a relationship between humanitarian assistance and conflict resolution/peace-building activities? How can relief agencies manage their relations with the parties to a conflict? How do human rights and humanitarian aid intersect? The experience of the 1990s has made it clear to humanitarian agencies that technical skills were no longer sufficient - their staff also needed political and analytical skills to navigate in insecure environments.

HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN THE EASTERN DRC

HUMANITARIAN CRISIS EAST DRC

Over the past decades, perhaps no area of the world has seen such violent transformations and complex conflicts as Africa's Great Lakes Region. This 1-credit course focuses on the conflicts and humanitarian assistance in two Eastern Congolese provinces, Kivu Sud and Kivu Nord. Extrapolations based on IRC studies estimate an excess mortality in Eastern DR Congo of over 4 million people out of a total population of about 20 million over the last twenty years. The neighboring countries of DR Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda all play a role in this conflict. Moreover, they have also endured their own forms of traumatic upheaval and are still searching for a form of stability. This course asks why these conflicts endured for so long? What are the root causes? What happens when a state bureaucracy breaks down? What happens to the health care and educational systems? Can solutions be found? What is the role of the humanitarian organizations vis-à-vis the local population, civil society, and the local administration?

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS I

This survey course introduces students to the fundamentals of statistical analysis.  We will examine the principles and basic methods for analyzing quantitative data, with a focus on applications to problems in public policy, management, and the social sciences.  We will begin with simple statistical techniques for describing and summarizing data and build toward the use of more sophisticated techniques for drawing inferences from data and making predictions about the social world.  The course will assume that students have little mathematical background beyond high school algebra.  Students will be trained on STATA.  This powerful statistical package is frequently used to manage and analyze quantitative data in many organizational/institutional contexts.  Because each faculty member takes a somewhat different approach to teaching this course, students should examine each professor's syllabus to understand the differences.

THE WASTE LAND

Prerequisites: the instructor's permission.
You might think of this course on
 The Waste Land 
in two ways: one, it is a course intended to open up Eliot’s poem from as many angles and directions as possible; two, it is a course that takes Eliot’s poem as an entry-point into the modernist period and the twentieth-century more broadly. In addition to the poem itself, our readings will include: other works of Eliot (sparingly; this is not a course on Eliot per se); drafts and manuscripts of the poem; literary works from the period with which the poem is in dialogue (by Pound, Conrad, Joyce, Woolf); literary sources (these include Dante, Spenser, Wagner, Shakespeare, Swinburne, Chaucer, Baudelaire, French Symbolist poets…); religious texts and traditions, both eastern and western; anthropological and psychological works from the period that inform the poem; cultural-historical material on various topics; the influence and legacy of the poem later in the century. No background in Eliot or modernism is required.

USING BIG DATA TO DEVELOP PUBLIC POLICY

Prerequisites: SIPA U6500
Big Data is a critical resource for understanding and solving public policy challenges. In this course we will cover the role of government in collating, sharing and using big data. We will provide an applied understanding of data analytic tools and approaches to policy. This course is designed to bridge the gap between the statistical theory and real-world challenges of using big data in public policy.
