PUB POLICY CHALLENGES IN BRAZIL & LATIN
PUB POL CHALLENGES IN BRAZIL
This course will familiarize students with some of the key public and social policy challenges facing Latin America today. The course focuses on six main topics: inequality, education, informality, crime, health, and aging. Though several of these topics are interconnected, each has its particularities and has been the object of specifically designed public policies and of intense debate. The connecting thread running through the course is the idea that inequality and social exclusion permeate most of the main public policy challenges in the region. The class provides conceptual and historical backgrounds for the remainder of the course. It discusses the different economic rationales for government intervention and public policy evaluation and gives an overview of the historical origins of institutional development and inclusive public goods provision.

ADV MIXED MUSIC COMPOSITION
Advanced Mixed Music Composition explores creative uses of advanced audio production tools (i.e., various DSP plug-ins, controllers, microphones, surround speaker arrays, etc.) and techniques (audio editing, mastering, performance simulations, synchronization, etc.); and looks at their impact on the aesthetics and poetics of a musical project. A special emphasis is given to the problems arising from the transition between the precisely controlled studio environment to the live concert hall (i.e., loudspeaker distance, room liveliness, monitoring, etc.), and how this transition can influence the audience’s perception of a work. importance of synchronization, notation, documentation, and portability as fundamental considerations during the compositional process. Lastly, techniques for producing simple yet high quality videos for archival purposes are shown, as a means to present yet another point of view on a musical project.

BANKING IN BRAZIL:COMPARATIVE EXAMINATIO
BANKING IN BRAZIL:COMP EXAMIN
This course provides students the tools to analyze the workings and efficacy of emerging economies' financial systems as a pillar for sustained economic development. We begin by studying the basic characteristics of six banking systems (Brazil, Mexico, India, China, Indonesia and Turkey) and then proceed to examine the efficacy of a chosen one (Brazil) vis-à-vis the others. Key aspects examined include the roles of public sector and foreign banks, bank credit availability and systemic resilience, and depth of domestic fixed income and equity markets.

MACROECONOMETRICS
The course aims to analyze dynamic, multivariate interactions in evolutionary and non-stationary processes. The course first considers stationary univariate time-series processes and then extend the analysis to non-stationary processes and multivariate processes. The course covers a review of linear dynamic time-series models and focus on the concept of cointegration, as many applications lend themselves to dynamic systems of equilibrium-correction relations. In the final analysis, the course is aimed at presenting a certain number of econometric techniques the mastery of which is becoming increasingly inevitable in professional circles.

INTL RELATNS OF NORTHEAST ASIA
This graduate seminar examines the international relations of Northeast Asia, one of the most significant and dynamic regions in global politics in the twenty-first century. The course discusses the politics, foreign policies, and interrelations of China, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, and Russia with the United States. The principal focus is on US relations with these Northeast Asian nations, as well as their bilateral and multilateral relations. The course examines the rise of nationalism in Northeast Asia, a key and growing driver for regional hostilities, and issues of history and popular memory, the source of recent ferment in relations. Participants examine the political, economic and social developments in the region and challenges that hinder increased regional integration. The class weighs the evolution of the American alliance system following World War II, Japan’s post-war transformation, South Korea’s emergence from the 1970s, North Korea’s developmental challenges and pursuit of nuclear weapons, and China’s rise as a regional and global power. The course posits nineteenth and twentieth century experiences that influence the bent of Northeast Asian foreign policies today. Participants arrive at a firm read of the politics and strategic priorities of Northeast Asia nations today and leaning forward.

CHINA-INDIA:BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP OF CO
China and India are two millennial civilizations now emerging as major twenty-first century powers. Together, they constitute more than a third of the world’s population and boast two of the largest economies and military forces on the planet. How they relate to each other is of global consequence. While there are several journalistic and business oriented accounts of the current economic relationship between the two countries and a few policy papers that address the geo-political dimensions, there is scant scholarly work on the comprehensive understanding of this crucial bilateral relationship. The lecturers are respectively China and India specialists and have deep knowledge of the historical developments and current issues in both countries through their long-term leadership positions at the Asia Society. In this seminar, we will analyze the China-India relationship from several perspectives -- historical connections and challenges, national aspirations and contemporary geo-politics and economics, and future potential of the relationship in a global, multilateral context.
The seminar will focus on particular historical aspects of the relationship in the initial classes, mainly to understand the implications of the early cultural, religious and economic relations for the current attitudes and practices. The second half of the seminar will look at the relationship in a multilateral context, taking into account the important role of countries such as Pakistan, the U.S. and Japan, as well as nations of Southeast Asia. Ultimately, the goal of the seminar is to understand the future trajectory of this significant bilateral relationship between the two most populous and rapidly emerging economic powers, and its implications for the twenty first-century global order.

DARK ECOLOGIES: ECOCRITICAL THOUGHT
DARK ECOL: ECOCRTICAL THOUGHT
This seminar aims to disclose what an anthropologically informed ecocriticism can offer in this moment of intensifying environmental calamity. With global warming and associated crises of pollution, habitat and species extinction, new forms of disease, and nuclear fears, there is pervasive anxiety about the fate of the earth and, with it, life itself. How can ecocritical thought grapple with the current catastrophe? The seminar will closely engage significant new (and not-so-new) works of anthropology, ecocriticism, philosophy, literature, poetry, art, political thought, and aesthetics in order to address this central question. Readings will include works by Morton, Deleuze, Bonneuil and Fressoz, Bennett, Zizek, Kohn, Descola, Stengers, Haraway, Cohen, Latour, Ballard, Robinson, and others.

HIGHER ECUC DEVPT/POL IN ASIA
HIGHER EDUC DEVPT/POL IN ASIA
The course has been designed to enable students to understand and discuss major evolutions and trends in Higher Education policies across several Asian countries. Through an interdisciplinary and comparative approach the semester will be dedicated to the investigation of the origin, design, implementation, and effects of different policy responses to development problems and challenges. In particular the course will examine how the Higher Education choices reflect development goals of states and nations. Combining lectures with the intervention of outside speakers (expert analysts, journalists, diplomats, public figures), current education policy problems and debates will be related to political, economic, social and historical context, with particular concern for issues such as skilled migrations, human resources development, R&D, modernity, democracy. The course will focus on the major cases of China, India, Singapore, Japan and Korea, but students will be encouraged to bring a comparative perspective with other regions of the world.
