SECURITY/INTL POL-PERSIAN GULF

The course will be divided into two sections. The first will focus on the international dimensions of security, and will situate the Gulf in the Middle East and the world. It will review the consequences of the three major wars fought there over the past three decades before addressing both hard and soft security issues (the latter including climate issues and food security), border disputes, the nuclear issue, and the role both Iran and the U.S. play in the Gulf. Part II will focus on domestic sources of instability, including national identity and the ruling bargain, the rise of the post-rentier state, sectarian conflict, the problem of migrant workers (who currently make up a majority of the population in the GCC states), and the repercussions of the Arab Spring, which has led to an ominous retreat from earlier signs of liberalization.

GEOPOLITICS OF OIL & GAS

This course is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of the relationship between U.S. national security and the economics, history, and politics of the international oil and gas industry. It places the current U.S. oil and gas situation in historical context and it analyzes how energy policy affects U.S. relations with other states. The course also examines how other states use their oil and gas resources (or lack thereof) to cooperate and/or compete with the United States. The course focuses primarily on: 1) How the United States obtains its oil and gas supply; 2) the factors driving this acquisition activity, and 3) the foreign policy and global security consequences of this activity.

STOCHASTIC MODELING I

Prerequisites: Refer to course syllabus.
This is the first course in a two-course sequence introducing students to the theory of stochastic processes. The fall term starts with a review of probability theory and then treats Poisson processes, renewal processes, discrete-time Markov chains and continuous-time Markov chains. The spring term emphasizes martingales and Brownian motion. Although the course does not assume knowledge of measure theory or measure-theoretic probability, the focus is on the mathematics. Proofs are emphasized. This course sequence is intended for our first-year doctoral students. Indeed, one of the two qualifying exams at the end of the first year covers the material taught in this course sequence. The course is intended to provide students background, so that they will be able to effectively conduct research.

RUSSELL

Prerequisites: Advanced undergraduates may be admitted, subject to the instructor's permission. The Symbolic Logic course, or an equivalent background, is required.
This course is an introduction to Russell's philosophy, as it developed in the first quarter of the last century, in epistemology, metaphysic, logic, and philosophy of language. We will try to show how different factors--Russell's epistemic motivation, his early idealism and his strong empiricist tendencies--combined in his theory of propositions. We will also try to clarify Russell's role in analytic philosophy and his more recent influences in philosophy of language. Given the scope of his work and its quantity, the course we focus on central points. It will be based on selections and excerpts from various works, of the period 1902 - 1920. The more technical part regarding the paradoxes, his achievement in the theory of types and the "Principia Mathematica" will be self-contained. It will not require previous knowledge beyond logic at the level of the Symbolic Logic course. Students' abilities and preferences for particular topics will be taken into consideration.

INT'L HUMAN RIGHTS LAW

This course introduces students to international human rights law (IHRL). In what sense are internationally-defined human rights "rights" and in what sense can the instruments which define them be considered "law"? How do we know that a claim is actually a "human right"? What are the relations among international, regional and national institutions in establishing and enforcing (or not) IHRL? Does IHRL represent an encroachment on national sovereignty? Is the future of IHRL regional? What enforcement mechanisms can we use, and who can decide upon their use? Finally, what redress is there for human rights violations, and how effective is it? Attendance is required in the first class.

RADICAL DEMOCRACY

MW 6:10-8:40pm (Mini-seminar that meets six sessions only: Oct 12, 14, 19, 26, 28, and Nov 4)  Spinoza Theological-Political Treatise shocked its readers when it was first published because it was seen as an attack on established religious dogmas and practices. In the religious reaction provoked by the text, and subsequently renewed in various iterations, another, even much more profound gesture has often been overlooked. Namely, Spinoza argues that democracy is the basis of every other constitutional formation. This primacy of democracy has been subsequently adopted by a number of radical thinkers, such as Marx (in his notes on Hegel's Philosophy of Right), Negri and Balibar. In addition, the primacy of democracy can be understood as the basic tenet of the idea of radical democracy. In this subject, we will return to Spinoza's fundamental text to examine the arguments which allow Spinoza to arrive at the idea of radical democracy. In order to do so, we will search for resonance between Spinoza's ideas and contemporary political concerns, such as the idea of biopolitics, conceptions about laws and rights, as well as theories of meaning and interpretation.

COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

COMPUTER COMMUNIC NETWORKS

Prerequisites: Knowledge of probability at the level of IEOR E3658 is required. Prior exposure to computer network protocols at the level of CSEE 4119 is helpful. The course provides an analytical approach to the design of (data) communication networks. Necessary tools are discussed for performance analysis and design of network protocols and algorithms. The analysis is supported by practical engineering applications in layered Internet protocols in Data link layer, Network layer, and Transport layer. The necessary analytical background is provided during the class by review of relevant aspects of stochastic processes, control, and optimization.

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.
