DYNAMICS OF CYBER CONFLICT

This class examines the dynamics of cyber conflict. We will focus less on the technology of cyberspace than the national security threats, challenges, and policy responses including lessons from history and other kinds of conflict. After taking this course, you will understand about the Internet and Internet-based attacks; how cyber conflicts unfold at the tactical and strategic levels; how cyber conflicts and cyber power are different or similar to conflict and power in other domains; the evolution of US cyber policies and organizations; as well as legal issues and the policies and organizations of other nations. The centerpiece of the course is an exercise to reinforce the fundamentals of national security response to a major cyber incident. Accordingly, you will demonstrate the ability to formulate policy recommendations in the face of the uncertainties of an unfolding cyber conflict.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

This course introduces the study and practice of conflict resolution, offering students a broad conceptual framework for more specific strands of study offered by CICR.  It also aims to show how ideas about conflict resolution can cast light on individual conflicts and peace initiatives.  The majority of classes focus on thematic issues and debates, but these are interspersed with classes concentrating on individual conflict situations, to allow students to link theory and practice. Students will be tested on both their grasp of the main themes of the course and their application to specific situations.

SOCIAL MOVEMENTS & CITIZENSHIP IN AFRICA

This course focuses on social movements and citizenship in sub-Saharan Africa to examine how people form political and social movements and deploy citizenship strategies within social, historical, and economic structures that are both local and global. It draws on readings and lectures from scholars in history, political science, anthropology, sociology, and African studies to explore the following topics and themes: histories and theories of social movements and citizenship; cities and social movements and citizenship; citizenship outside the nation-state; social movements and democracy; citizenship as a creative enterprise that emphasizes claim-making and improvisation; citizenship within imperial, international, and national contexts; infrastructures, claim-making, and coalition building; opposition, leadership and democracy; and social movements of African youth and women. This course features guest lectures by and discussions with French and American scholars from Sciences-Po, Universite Paris 1, NYU, and Columbia, and is part of the Joint African Studies Program (JASP) at the Institute of African Studies that is supported by the Partnership University Fund (PUF) and the French Alliance Program at Columbia. It includes foundational readings on concepts, theories, and histories of social movements and citizenship in Africa as well as in-depth case studies on selective themes by various experts working on sub-Saharan Africa. It is unique insofar as it offers a strong foundation in social movements and citizenship while exposing students to in-depth case studies by leading experts working in a variety of disciplines and geographical contexts. All lectures and discussions are conducted in English.

COMPARATIVE POLITICS SURVEY I

This graduate level seminar is designed to introduce students to many of the main questions motivating research in comparative politics. The course is not designed as exercise in intellectual history, although some "classics" are included. It is also not designed to teach particular approaches or methods in the study of comparative politics, although many such approaches and methods are included in the readings. Instead, it is designed to give students a sense of what we "know" today about the answers to some major questions that animate the subfield and to encourage students to develop the analytical skills, substantive knowledge, and theoretical insights necessary to make their own contributions to comparative politics and political science. Comparative Politics Survey II builds on the topics developed in Comparative Politics Survey I, but can easily be taken before taking Comparative Politics Survey I. Topics to be covered in the surveys include among others, institutions, culture, parties, violence, collective action, economic development, bureaucracy, regimes and regime change, the welfare state, corruption and political behavior.

BEYOND CRISIS IN LATIN AMERICA

Latin America is much more than a series of economic crises that have regularly punctured the region's growth path. But a full understanding of the region requires grappling with the recurrent crises of the past two decades. This seminar will focus on the region's three largest economies by examining three pivotal moments: Brazil's crisis of 2003, Argentina's crisis of 2001 and Mexico's peso crisis of 1994 and then using each of the historical episodes as a basis to analyze the current outlook in each of the economies-Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. We will examine each episode with particular focus on the perspective of institutional investors as well as the role that financial markets played in precipitating the crises and in shaping the economic aftermath. The instructor has spent more than two decades on Wall Street working closely with institutional investors as well as policy makers in the region in his capacity as chief Latin American economist and will draw on his experiences as students revisit three major turning points in the region and explore the current outlook in the region's largest economies. The course is designed to allow students to apply the macroeconomic theory they have learned in previous courses both to probe three pivotal turning points in the region as well as to analyze the current economic outlook in the region's largest economies. A special focus will be placed on how research is conducted in financial institutions along with the perspective of a financial markets practitioner. During each class, the instructor will summarize the main ideas on the policy issue or case study of the day as well as guide the class in a discussion of the topics.

BENCHMARKING SKILLS DEVELOPMNT

Benchmarking is the process of continuously comparing and measuring against other organizations' performance, and analyzing the philosophies, practices, and measures that help an organization improve performance. Benchmarking goes beyond competitive analysis and encourages practitioners to examine organizations in markets that are different from their own. Benchmarking goes beyond quantitative analysis, and practitioners will consider organizational dynamics and qualitative characteristics in performance. Using a public sector-based case study with hands-on group activities, as well as various other examples given by the instructors, this course will teach students the benchmarking process along with the different tools and techniques to be used in implementation.

BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS

Prerequisites: Completion of 1st year graduate program in Economics, or the instructor's permission.
The standard model of economic behavior describes a perfectly rational, self interested utility maximizer with unlimited cognitive resources. In many cases, this provides a good approximation to the types of behavior that economists are interested in. However, over the past 30 years, experimental and behavioral economists have documented ways in which the standard model is not just wrong, but is wrong in ways that are important for economic outcomes. Understanding these behaviors, and their implications, is one of the most exciting areas of current economic inquiry. This course will study three important topics within behavioral economics: Bounded rationality, temptation and self control and reference dependent preferences. It will draw on research from behavioral economics, experimental economics, decision theory, psychology and neuroscience in order to describe the models that have been developed to explain failures of the standard approach, the evidence in support of these models, and their economic implications.

QUANT ANALYSIS-INT & PUB AFFRS

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS I

This survey course introduces students to the fundamentals of statistical analysis.  We will examine the principles and basic methods for analyzing quantitative data, with a focus on applications to problems in public policy, management, and the social sciences.  We will begin with simple statistical techniques for describing and summarizing data and build toward the use of more sophisticated techniques for drawing inferences from data and making predictions about the social world.  The course will assume that students have little mathematical background beyond high school algebra.  Students will be trained on STATA.  This powerful statistical package is frequently used to manage and analyze quantitative data in many organizational/institutional contexts.  Because each faculty member takes a somewhat different approach to teaching this course, students should examine each professor's syllabus to understand the differences.
