EU,US & INTL HUMAN RIGHTS

EU, US & INT'L HUMAN RIGHTS

Both the European Union and the United States consider the protection of human rights as one of their founding values, and both emphasize the centrality of human rights in their internal and external policies. Yet, despite their joint commitment to human rights and a seemingly large potential for common transatlantic approaches to human rights issues in external relations, the European Union and the United States have diverged considerably in their positions on the conceptualization and promotion of human rights. In this course we will study the European Union's and the United States' respective approaches towards international human rights from a comparative perspective, exploring similarities and differences, as well as the potential for stronger transatlantic cooperation. We will first familiarize ourselves with the legal, institutional and policy background of both actors and with the domestic and regional human rights protection systems available to individuals in the EU and the US. Then, we will focus on a number of selected human rights issues, including the fight against terrorism, the death penalty, human rights in trade policy and the role of the EU and the US in multilateral human rights fora.

WAR & CAPTIVITY

As long as societies have gone to war, commanders have had to consider how they will treat captives. It can be a factor at every stage of a struggle, from negotiations to avert war, tactics and strategy for winning, and post-conflict resolution. And long after the end of fighting, the experience of captivity can continue to shape how people recall and commemorate their history. This course examines how generations of lawmakers, diplomats, military commanders and activists have dealt with the problem of captivity. It will also explore the experience of the captives themselves, as well as their guards, including those guards who themselves were made prisoner after being accused of war crimes. Students will become familiar not just with different kinds of modern conflict, but also the different disciplinary methods for studying it, from sociology and political science to philosophy and international law.

NEGOTIATN & CONFLICT RESOLUTN

There are two purposes to this course: 1. to develop your ability to negotiate in a purposeful, principled and effective way; and 2. to teach you how to build consensus and broker wise agreements with others. Negotiation is a social skill, and like all social skills you have to practice it if you want to get better at it. To give you the chance to practice, we'll do a number of simulated negotiations in and out of class. We'll also use lectures, case studies, exercises, games, videos, and demonstrations to help you develop your understanding. As we advance in the course, our focus will shift from simple one-on-one negotiations to more complex ones involving many parties, agents, coalitions, and organizations.

INTERNATIONAL LAW

This course introduces students to the basic doctrines of public international law and considers their relationship to both international relations theory and a range of problems in current international politics. The aim of the course is to provide a framework to understand the normative dimensions of international relations. Students are asked to consider the theoretical arguments, processes and frameworks that provide the structure of international law, and to analyze their practical application to world issues of current concern. A problem-oriented approach to various case studies will be used in both lectures and discussion sessions, including situations in the former Yugoslavia, East Timor, Africa and Iraq. In this way, the course attempts to integrate method, substance, concepts and domestic application of the international legal system.

CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS-DISC

Through a review of major academic writings, lectures, and class discussion, Conceptual Foundations of International Politics examines many of the central concepts, theories, and analytical tools used in contemporary social science to understand and explain international affairs.  The theoretical literature is drawn from different fields in the social sciences, including comparative politics, international relations, political sociology and economics; the lecturers include members of the Columbia faculty who are authorities in these fields (as well as, in many cases, experienced practitioners in their own right).  The course is designed to enhance students' abilities to think critically and analytically about current problems and challenges in international politics. , Conceptual Foundations is a semester-long course.  The lecture/plenary session meets on Monday, and the seminar-style sections also meet every week.  Attending lectures and sections is obligatory, and students are required to do the assigned readings before their (INAF U6804) section because the readings and lectures form the basis of the discussion sections.  Students are expected to know when and where their sections meet.

THRY OF INTL POLITICAL ECONOMY

This course serves as an introduction to the politics of international economic relations. We examine the history and institutions of the international political economy and the theories that seek to explain them as well as analyze several political economy issues at once classic and contemporary, such as the sources of economic growth, the origins and consequences of globalization, and causes of and appropriate policy responses to income inequality. In addition to sampling contemporary writings in the field, we read several classic works, especially on theoretical approaches. Students need not have an extensive background in international economics to complete this course satisfactorily, but those not familiar with basic economic principles will find several sections of the class very challenging.

METHODS FOR DEVELOPMENT PRAC

This course is the first part of a two-course sequence for advanced students concentrating in Economic and Political Development. The second part is the Workshop in Development Practice (SIPA U9001). These courses are integrated into a year-long encounter with the actual practice of development. The course seeks to help students develop a conceptual and critical understanding of some of the key tools and approaches employed by organizations in development practice, and to skill students in using these approaches and tools in a discerning, ethical and effective manner that recognizes their shortcomings and limitations. The course takes a hands-on approach and promotes learning by doing. Questions of "Whose development? Whose priorities and agenda? Whose proposed solutions and strategies?" are ever present in choosing development approaches and outcomes. Development work, to the extent it involves development organizations and workers entering as external agents of change into a national arena or local community, is an intensely political exercise. What has changed in the course of development practice is that development workers increasingly perceive themselves less as direct agents of change - delivering top-down transfers of knowledge and resources from those who know best or have more, to those in need or who need to be influenced - and more as facilitators of change. According to this approach, the development worker seeks to act as a medium and partner in identifying local needs and priorities, and helping to translate these into equitable and sustainable development outcomes through knowledge-sharing, empowerment, capacity building and/or additional resources. However, this transition has been uneven, and externally-driven, top-down approaches persist. Development workers also need to be continually aware of the values, assumptions and biases that they bring to their interactions with local actors and that are implicit in the approaches and tools that they use. With needs, priorities and agendas contested across many levels and sets of interests, the job of a development worker is a complex and responsible one. To that end, this course also challenges students to reflect on their goals and desired approaches in their future roles as development agents.

DIMENSIONS OF LEADERSHIP

The premise of this course is that as a Columbia University student you face a dilemma of privilege. Whatever were the circumstances of your birth, as a graduate of SIPA, you will have more and better opportunities than the vast majority of people in your generation. At the stand time, you face a burden of choices about what to make the purpose of your lives and how to focus the leadership potential you have developed at, and prior to, SIPA. It’s a first-class problem to have, but it remains a problem. At a time when the world faces numerous challenges, many caused by failures of leadership, this course seeks to help you, as our next generation of leaders, make the case for your leadership. The class will provide a 5-dimensional leadership framework, delivered and discussed through 5 pairs lectures and group assignments, but much more importantly it is forum to help you, and me, grow as leaders.
