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 (6804) section because the readings and lectures form the basis of the discussion sections.  Students are expected to know when and where their sections meet.

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. Registration in this course requires an application. Priority will be given to second-year EPD students. Apply at: https://fs23.formsite.com/SIPA/form33/index.html

In this course, students will: (1) become familiar with the concepts, methods, and applications of evaluation research; (2) learn how to assess the context for evaluation; (3) learn how to read evaluation research critically; and (4) be able to propose an appropriate evaluation plan.  The course will center on a Group Project where teams of students (no more than 5 students) will work together to develop an evaluation plan for a program. In the process, students will learn to assess evaluation needs, how to map a program theory, link outcomes to metrics, and plan to ‘conduct' an evaluation. At the end of the course, students will be required to present their group evaluation plan in class and to submit an individual final paper, based on your group's proposal for the program evaluation plan.
