THE CHINESE ECONOMY

When asking a Chinese citizen about a particularly puzzling aspect of China’s economy, the response will sometimes be “ 这是中国特色的“ or this is the Chinese way of doing things. In this course, we will think deeply about what exactly that means in terms of how China’s macro-economy and financial system operates. This course has three distinguishing characteristics: i. It uses modern tools from macroeconomics and finance to analyze the Chinese economy; ii. It compares and contrasts the Chinese economy with the United States as a way of highlighting what makes the Chinese economy (and incidentally the US economy) special; and iii. It treats a country like a company using methods from finance, accounting and management to shed new light on macroeconomic questions. While the focus of the course is, of course China, what students will also learn is how to think more broadly about all emerging economies. Many scholars have written about the significant steps in China’s development process since 1978. Wu Jinglian (2005) or Barry Naughton (2007 – see below), for example, provides excellent step-by-step descriptions of China’s remarkable path of economic progress from both before and after that critical year. This course takes a different approach from that very worthwhile historical/institutional approach in that it asks which tools from the modern economics and finance toolbox can and cannot be used to understand the Chinese economy and financial system. There will be both quantitative and qualitative aspects involved in our pursuit of that understanding. By the completion of this course, students will know how to work with data related to the Chinese economy and how to go about thinking analytically about China’s economy and financial system. This will allow the student to intelligently answer challenging questions related to China’s current and future economic circumstance.

UNCONVENTIONAL MONETARY POLICY

Prerequisites: SIPA U6401
Corequisites: INAF U6018 & INAF U6022
The course begins with a review of central banks’ monetary policy goals and objectives, followed by an overview of how central banks set and implement monetary policy in normal economic and financial market conditions.  The bulk of the course will focus on how central banks adapt their policy rules and tools in the face of extraordinary financial market or economic turmoil.    Different types of unconventional tools will be discussed and analyzed, with particular focus on the design and the effectiveness of various unconventional policy tools.    Examples of the use unconventional policy tools – both more and less successful – across jurisdictions will be discussed in the latter half of the course.   The course finishes with discussions of several important, and timely dilemmas:  where is the “line” between unconventional monetary policies and traditional fiscal policy actions;  what difficulties do central banks face in handling economic side effects and the political consequences of extraordinary policy,  and what are the challenges of  returning monetary policy to (a new) normal.

WRITING ON INT'L AFFAIRS

Good writing and effective skills to communicate global issues are in high demand. Whether one is working for a media outlet or publication, an international organization, an NGO, or a media strategy/relations firm, the ability to gather and process information and present it in clear, effective written format is key to landing a dream job and getting ahead. In this course, students will learn to craft clear, precise written communications using means often employed in global careers: the Op-Ed and commentary, the press release, the newspaper and magazine story, talking points, the policy or country summary/contact brief, as well as writing for the Web. Writing topics will focus on core issues in international affairs: the global economy, environment, international business, international organizations, political analysis, and human rights/law. As the class has a heavy concentration on writing, reading will be assigned to facilitate writing styles and improve technique.

EARLY MOD THEATRE-PERFORMANCE ARCHIVES

EARLY MOD THEATRE-PERF ARCHIVE

This seminar will re-examine the methods and aims of early modern theater and performance historiography in light of recent, cross-disciplinary theorizations of the archive. We will consider how the disciplinary parameters of theater historians shaped the early modern stage as an object of knowledge, and what new forms of knowledge might emerge if we look beyond the traditional contours of the field. Through a critical and creative investigation of both traditional and heterodox archives, we will attend in particular to the trans-medial dimensions of plays and other performance events, and their ephemeral material remains. In addition to engaging critically with archival theories and methods, students will work with primary evidence in a range of media, conducting their own revisionist, archival projects, while thinking creatively about how we use archives in our research, writing, pedagogy, and public presentations.

WRITING & DEVLIERING SPEECHES

WRITING & DELIVERING SPEECHES

This introductory course is aimed at teaching the fundamentals of persuasive speechwriting for the public and private sectors, NGOs, and international organizations. Students will learn how to apply the classical canons of rhetoric to speechwriting in the 21st Century; deconstruct great political and business speeches using text and video; compare and contrast different speechwriting techniques in various international settings; as well as become familiar with some of the latest advances in neuroscience breaking new ground in understanding how persuasion works. Students will be expected to draft, edit and deliver their own speeches every week. No prior speechwriting experience is required, however, exceptional written-English skills are strongly recommended. Practical topics will be essential for this course: Why do some speeches persuade while others do not? How does one effectively capture the voice of the person you're writing for? How are speeches tailored for specific audiences, venues and occasions? Should one's message be solely what the speaker thinks the audience wants to hear-or what the speaker believes the audience needs to hear? And how important is delivery in terms of moving an audience?

The overall goal of this course is to improve the writing skills of international students in the MIA and MPA degree programs. The course requirements will include weekly short exercises (definitions of key terms and abstract concepts, summaries of statistical data, summaries and critiques of seminal concepts and theories, and descriptions of processes and procedures) and longer assignments (an argumentative essay, case study and short research paper). Students will also learn to revise and edit their work as well as to integrate sophisticated rhetorical and syntactic structures. To improve the accuracy and clarity of their writing, the course will review the aspects of grammar that pose particular problems for international students.
