INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ECONOMY
INTL POLITICAL ECONOMY
Prerequisites: the instructor's permission prior to registration.
This is a survey course in international political economy. It will be conducted in a condensed format, meeting twice a week for half a semester. The first objective of the course will be to provide students a brief introduction to the large academic literature on key topics in IPE (incl. the politics of immigration, trade, foreign investment, and development). The course will thus help students prepare for the synthesis and analysis that is required in the comprehensive exam. Furthermore, the course will aim to introduce students to a variety of frontier research problems that currently animate work in the field, so they can see and evaluate examples of how empirical research is actually conducted rather than just commenting on “the classics”. Finally, the course will help students initiate one of their own research projects, thus gaining some practical experience in elaborating a theoretical argument, drawing out testable implications, and analyzing relevant evidence.

TEXTS ON URB&RURAL; INDIA
This seminar seeks to introduce graduate students from History, Anthropology, South Asian Studies and Comparative Literature to a representative selection of self-standing texts about urban and rural South Asia in its ‘traditional’ and ‘colonial-modern’ avatars. The aim is not so much to apprehend the evidence and trajectories of a complex and layered society under Colonial Rule, as to engage with a dozen literary and near literary texts (the latter largely in an ethnographic mode), dating from the 1870s to the 2010s. Focused on Shahjahanabad or Old Delhi, the urban component of the readings is represented by two very different evocations of that Mughal city; the first prize-winning pedagogical tale about a literate daughter, managing the married household with thrift and farsightedness, adhering to traditional mores while adjusting to the new order of high colonialism. Unlike this text originally written in modern Urdu prose, the second novel, is set again, this time c. 1910s in Old Delhi. Written in English by a left-leaning ‘progressive writer’ and published from a prestigious London press, Ahmed Ali’s
Twilight in Delhi
seems to reflect ruefully on the end of the Old Order in the beginning decades of the twentieth century. The next three texts represent three distinct styles of ethnographic accounts of ‘Village India’: the first a discursive
expose
of a village in north India, written by an intrepid American woman journalist , c. 1920s, in part as reports from the fields of ‘The Village of Five Trees’ to the New York based magazine
Asia
; the second, a remembered account of a village in southern India by the premier social anthropologist of India, and the third an evocative and embedded picture of his own village in the northern state of Bihar over the
longue duree
by one of India’s most accomplished journalists. The five remaining texts picture the Indian-social successively through the lens of reproductive anxiety, so central to the south asian marital condition; the world of orality, folktales and folk music, and a novel about the fissures, solidarities, religiosity and identity amidst the fast-paced anti-colonial movements of the early 1940s and the looming future of Independence accompanied by the partition of the sub-continent along religious lines. Attentive to modes of readings of identifiably South Asian texts, the cour

INTERNATIONAL ETHICS
The seminar begins with an examination of how moral philosophers have considered the problem of the ethics of policy choice. In the next part of the seminar we explore human rights and the role of ethics in international politics. We then focus on problems in contemporary international ethics, wars, massacres and terrorism; international intervention; and global economic justice. We conclude with a discussion of the debate between the proponents of cosmopolitan justice, on the one hand, and the defenders of national self-determination, on the other, over the conditions of world order.

THEORIES OF WAR AND PEACE
In this course we undertake a comprehensive review of the literature on the causes of war and the conditions of peace, with a primary focus on interstate war. We focus primarily on theory and empirical research in political science but give some attention to work in other disciplines. We examine the leading theories, their key concepts and causal variables, the causal paths leading to war or to peace, and the conditions under which various outcomes are most likely to occur. We also give some attention to the degree of empirical support for various theories and hypotheses, and we look at some of the major empirical research programs on the origins and expansion of war. Our survey includes research utilizing qualitative methods, large-N quantitative methods, formal modeling, and experimental approaches. We also give considerable attention to methodological questions relating to epistemology and research design. Our primary focus, however, is on the logical coherence and analytic limitations of the theories and the kinds of research designs that might be useful in testing them. This course is designed primarily for graduate students who want to understand and contribute to the theoretical and empirical literature in political science on war, peace, and security. Students with different interests and students from other departments can also benefit from the seminar and are also welcome. Ideally, members of the seminar will have some familiarity with basic issues in international relations theory, philosophy of science, research design, and statistical methods.

CONFLICT ASSESSMENT
International responses to conflict and post-conflict environments are highly complex. Most interventions hold the potential to have a positive impact by managing or resolving crises, and enhancing local mechanisms and institutions that address sources of violence. However, research and practice have shown that peacemaking, peacekeeping, peacebuilding, development, and humanitarian interventions can also unintentionally create negative and/or harmful impacts on conflict dynamics, deepening cleavages that exist in societies and exacerbating inter- or intra-group tensions. Conflict assessment is the application of analytical tools to identify factors that cause conflict, to understand the interaction between different factors and actors in conflict, and to gauge the potential for conflict to become destructive and lead to violence. These tools can be used by security, development, and humanitarian organizations for strategic planning in order to identify opportunities for initiatives that explicitly can address conflict factors. They also can be used to assess the impact of already-designed or implemented initiatives (e.g. peacebuilding programs) on existing conflict factors and dynamics. Conflict assessment also allows one to integrate “conflict sensitivity” into a broad range of development, and humanitarian initiatives, whether they are being implemented in a location where violent conflict is occurring or they have an explicit intention to contribute to conflict prevention. This is a hand-on course, which will be organized around one or two current conflict cases, depending on the number of participants. Students will be asked to actively engage in the application of a conflict assessment methodology, with the first day focusing on the conflict analysis, and the second one on developing policy recommendations for intervention.

CRFT&SCI;: OBJ&MKING; EARLY MOD
This course will study the materials, techniques, settings, and meanings of skilled craft and artistic practices in the early modern period (1350-1750), in order to reflect upon a series of issues, including craft knowledge and artisanal epistemology; the intersections between craft and science; and questions of historical methodology and evidence in the reconstruction of historical experience. The course will be run as a “Laboratory Seminar,” with discussions of primary and secondary materials, as well as text-based research and hands-on work in a laboratory. This course is one component of the Making and Knowing Project of the Center for Science and Society. This course contributes to the collective production of a transcription, English translation, and critical edition of a late sixteenth-century manuscript in French, Ms. Fr. 640. In 2014-15, the course concentrated on mold-making and metalworking; in 2015-16, on colormaking. In 2016-17, it will focus on natural history, researching the context of the manuscript, and reprising some color-making and moldmaking techniques. Students are encouraged to take this course both semesters (or more), but will receive full credit only once. Different laboratory work and readings will be carried out each semester.

FRENCH EMPIRES
As in many other European countries in the last fifteen years, the historiography of France has been reshaped by interest in the imperial trajectory of the nation. This class will explore this 'imperial turn', and examine its specificity vis-à-vis the historiographies of other European empires. We will examine the questions that have been at the center of the historian's agenda: what kind of historical processes are revealed (or masked) by the imperial perspective? How do we think historically about the relationships between nation, Republic and empire? How has the 'imperial turn' shaped the categories and writing practices of historians? What are the contributions of historians to the understanding of postcolonialism?
All readings and discussions are in English.
