Politics & Policy of Urban Sustainabilit
Politics & Policy-Urban Sustai
This is a course for thoughtful people who wish to influence actual policy outcomes related to sustainability challenges in major cities. Its objective is not to provide a primer on urban sustainability solutions; this is readily available from textbooks and will change by the time you are in a position to act. Rather, the course’s objective is to prepare you for the kind of challenges that will face you as a policy practitioner in the field of urban sustainability. Cities are increasingly recognized as a key level of government for environmental and sustainability policy. As at all levels, politics and policy are intensely intertwined, and perhaps more so at the local level because the decisions involved often affect constituents directly and intimately --in their neighborhoods, in their homes, in their commutes. This reading-heavy colloquium explores the politics and the policy of urban sustainability from the perspective of someone who wishes to effect change. It culminates in a team project in which students act as a sustainability policy team in a mayoral (or equivalent) office in one of the world’s major cities. The course considers key components of the city itself, with the objective of understanding what shapes the city and its impact on the environment. It mainly uses case studies from the twentieth-century United States, paired with international readings to allow a comparison with other experiences. The focus on deep case studies allows the consideration of the situations, constraints, and political dynamics of specific situations. It is intended to provide students with the ability to recognize patterns in urban political and policy dynamics related to sustainability. These are paired with an overview of leading solutions and how the professor believes practitioners should evaluate them for their own cities. The course also prominently features in-class presentations and discussions of the students’ main project: a team-based memo making a specific recommendation to solve a problem in a specific major world city, which is presented twice, once for a diagnosis of the problem in a given city and a second time with a policy recommendation. This project is the major portion of the overall grade for the class, and is used to allow the students to wrestle with the challenge of turning ideas from past and present into successful urban sustainability policies that can get implemented in a political and institutional world. In order to cover issues in depth, this course is not exhaustive;

Dynamic Games
This course will focus on the game-theoretic study of long-run relationships. My
goal is to equip you to (i) create tractable models appropriate for studying whatever
applied settings interest you, and (ii) study such interactions in detail. Toward that
goal, we'll talk about important papers that develop the state of the art in dynamic
modeling, papers that point to subtleties/complexity in the study of dynamic and
repeated games, and papers that sidestep the latter to address speci?c applied questions.
See the course outline below for a list of topics we'll cover, together with the
speci?c papers that will come up along the way. We will cover some classic papers,
but more recent work is (deliberately) overrepresented here. Of course, this list of
topics and papers is not meant to be comprehensive, but I hope it will be a useful,
brief tour of the literature.
This class being a topics course, familiarity with basic tools of economic theory
and game theory that were covered in the ?rst-year micro sequence is essential.

Clarissa
Almost a million words long, Samuel Richardson's
Clarissa
took eighteenth-century readers by storm; it has a strong claim to be considered the single most important novel of the period. We'll begin with some brief excerpts from Richardson's first novel
Pamela
and one of the more virulent contemporary attacks on this new mode of popular fiction, then proceed through
Clarissa
in regular chunks, interspersed with bits and pieces of other relevant epistolary fictions, critical discussions and historical accounts. This seminar has no prerequisites other than your own eagerness to embark on a demented and potentially transformative program of extreme reading; topics for discussion will include the novel in letters, the first-person voice, the psychology of families and the sociology of inheritance in eighteenth-century England, the languages of sexuality, eighteenth-century burial customs, madness in literature, providential narratives and life after death, suffering, rewritings of Job, the rise of the novel, etc. etc.

Financing Sustainable Development: The R
This course will focus on the practice of financing sustainable development. During the past several years, there has been significant attention given to the challenges of mobilizing public and private finance for sustainable development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Climate Agreement (PCA) have spurred a significant amount of activity in public policy, regulation, new financial instruments and asset class development. As a result, financing sustainable development is even more complicated than it was before, and requires students to have an understanding of a broad range of topics. The goal of this course is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the practical realities of the topic of sustainable finance. The course instructor has been directly involved with major aspects of the topic, including as a policy advisor to the United Nations, an expert advisor to the Asian Development Bank and Uganda Development Bank, and a senior executive at various global financial institutions.

Affordable Housing Finance: Policy and A
Affordable Housing Finance is an introduction to the public policy concepts and technical skills necessary for development of both rental and owned housing for individuals and families earning less than 80% of the area median income (AMI). This immensely challenging field requires familiarity with the capital markets, knowledge of zoning, general real estate transactional concepts, contract and tax law and architecture, just to name a few trades. Affordable housing is often developed with public sector support (PPP’s) and with non-profit community development corporations (CDCs) and other development organizations with a mission to create affordable housing. The course will introduce the application of new digital tools to the assessment of investment opportunities and risks in these markets. Instruction in the use of these tools will be provided. Students should have a working knowledge of excel, real estate finance and securitization concepts.

POLITICAL CONCEPTS IN WAKE OF GEONTONTOP
POLTICL CNCPTS:GEONTOPOWE
It’s hot and it’s getting hotter. As the machinery of capital extraction, industrialism, and consumption refuses to relinquish its grip, meteorological temperatures continue to rise and chemical hot zones spread. Tipping points threaten regime shifts in which the qualitative nature of the earth’s biosphere will alter. But until then, and even after then, hot zones occur in the aggregate only in abstraction. In reality they form like weather clouds over specific places—toxic smog over Beijing, lead poisoning in drinking water in Flint, Michigan, uranium exposure in Navajo and Hopi lands. Marx thought the social dialectic was leading to the purification of the fundamental opposition of human classes. No little evidence can be mustered to support the claim that we are nearing this moment—the world seems to be splitting into ever more extreme halves—the one percent and the ever-increasing precariate. But what many believe we are witnessing a new form of antagonism and which demands new modes of solidarity. The new swelter seems to them less fundamentally a war of class—although also a class war, although definitely not a clash of civilization—and more a clash of existents. And in this new war of the world everyone must decide with whom (or what) we are making ties of solidarity. With whom or what will we stake our claim?

Diplomacy in Practice: the EU & the Worl
Diplomacy in Practice:EU/World
The course will introduce students to the practice of modern diplomacy through case studies of global or regional crises and the EU’s response to them. Students will learn how foreign policy is devised and implemented from the perspective of a professional diplomat.
The course will start with an introduction to the history of EU foreign policy and then to the institutions and instruments involved in foreign affairs. Each class will then focus on specific case studies starting with the EU approach to its different international partners: allies (transatlantic partnership and UN system), neighbors (the Southern Neighboring policy, the Eastern Partnership, the new European Political Community), and the rest of the multipolar world (Russia, China, India, Turkey,…); then the situation in Ukraine; the conflicts in the Middle East region (Libya, Syria, Middle East peace process) and the Iran nuclear agreement; lastly, the migration crisis. The final class will wrap up the course with a reflection on lessons learned and possible future developments of EU foreign policy’s organization and agenda. In each case, students will explore the interplay between the various instruments of foreign policy, including crisis management, defense and security, trade, financial aid, humanitarian assistance, and public diplomacy.

Campaign Management
Together we are going to learn how to plan, manage, and execute the major elements of a modern American campaign using skills that can be applied to all levels of the electoral process. What are the elements of a modern political campaign? How are those pieces executed? How do we get the people elected (or un-elected) which impacts Public Policy for decades? If you are interested in political campaigns, this is your chance to learn directly from top experts in the field about the various tools and strategies used in all aspects of American politics and campaigns today.
Although this is a course focusing on practical competence, empirical political theory and relevant political science will be applied to our work. Guest lecturers, simulations, and additional materials such as videos and handouts will augment the course. When we are done, you will know what you need to do, and where you need to turn, in order to effectively organize an election campaign. The curriculum is ambitious, specialized, and task-specific. This is not a course in political science, but rather a hands-on, intensive training seminar in campaign skills. By May, you will be able to write a campaign plan, structure a fundraising effort, hire and work with consultants, plan a media campaign (both paid and unpaid), research and target a district, structure individual voter contact, use polling data, understand the utility of focus groups, write press releases, conduct advance work on behalf of your candidate, manage crises, hire and fire your staff, and tell your candidate when he or she is wrong. Our aim is to make you competent and eminently employable in the modern era of advanced campaign technology. For the purposes of this class, you will design a campaign plan for a political race. To make this more interesting (and realistic), you will be provided with information and situations throughout the semester that will require you to plan, anticipate, and adapt your campaign plan to the changing realities inherent to every campaign.
The course will be co-taught by Jefrey Pollock, the Founding Partner and President of Global Strategy Group, a premier strategic research and communications firm, who has advised numerous local and national political candidates and organizations; as well as, Camille Rivera, Partner at New Deal Strategies, an experienced policy and political legislative director with a demonstrated history of working in the non-profit organization managem

Politics in the European Union
This course offers an overview of recent and contemporary politics in the European Union. On the basis of the assumption that the latter is inextricably determined by both supra-national and infra-national dynamics, it examines the European Union as a whole, as well as the politics of certain key member states. Classes are based on readings from foundational texts in the recent comparative politics and history literature on the European Union and its member states. They will involve initial lectures by the instructor and leave ample time for seminar-style discussion. In addition, students will be required to participate in a number of structured class debates, which will form an integral part of the pedagogy, and serve as one of the bases for individual evaluation. Throughout the duration of the course, students will also be working on a final research paper, whose topic will be determined individually with the instructor.
