POLIT/POL-URBAN SUSTAINABILTY

POLIT/POL-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 moreso at the local level because the decisions involved often affect constituents directly and intimately -- in their neighborhoods, in their homes, in their commutes. This colloquium explores both the politics and the policy of sustainability in the municipal context. Covering a range of sustainability issues -- such as air quality, public health, and transportation -- it looks at the dynamics of making change happen at the local level, including variations in power among municipal governments; how issues get defined and allocated; how stakeholder management takes place (or doesn't); how agencies and levels of government interfere with each other; and how best practices can (and cannot) be transferred internationally. The course is reading-intense and includes case studies by historians rather than political scientists. The focus of most readings is on the United States, but students' research projects will require looking beyond the US and transferring practices to a US city.

ENERGY POLICY

The course provides a survey and analysis of the various dimensions, domestic and international, of policy formulation that, taken together, constitute energy policy. These dimensions include contributing to access to and production of natural energy resources; insuring the security and reliability of energy sources; promoting the diversity of fuels and development of new  technologies in light of energy security and climate change mitigation objectives; promoting energy conservation and energy efficiency; environmental regulation at the domestic (air and water quality) and global (climate) levels. The objectives inspiring these policies are pursued through a combination of reliance on energy markets; subsidies and tax policy; development of energy infrastructure and a broad array of international policies influencing relations among and between net exporting and net importing countries. The origin of each policy issue, and lessons from significant "market failures," are examined and the consequences of policy alternatives are evaluated.  The major legal and regulatory themes of U.S. energy policy are examined (Part 1) and so are the essential dimensions of international policies affecting the international energy scene.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Affordable Housing Development is an introduction to the public policy concepts and technical skills necessary for development of 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 developed in many markets by non-profit community development corporations (CDCs) which are often thinly capitalized and operate with limited resources. Many CDCs are long on motivation and short on capacity. This class will provide students with an introduction to the core concepts needed for eventual employment with CDCs and other development organizations with a mission to create affordable housing.

SPECTERS OF ORGANIZED SUBVERSION

Ruling powers of various shapes and sizes tend to prosecute those people whom they fear because of their identity, class, craft, or convictions. Often, the object of accusation, inquiry, prosecution, and persecution includes not just one (or more) individual persons, but a set of relationships that these ruling powers see as anathema to the social order they seek to establish or maintain, and on which their power depends.
Specters can personify residuals of antediluvian political or cosmological order (heretics and witches, officers of toppled regime, Catholics after the reformation, idolatry trials in the new world, mafiosi after their criminalization, Bundists in Soviet Russia) or emergent forms (emancipated Jews, dissidents, or anarchists). All share that role in social dramas that cast them as enemies of The State, The Church, The People, or Humanity.
In this seminar we will begin to explore the array of social rituals, routinized practices (like rumors and media-oriented lynching) and institutions that have been developed specifically in order to name such specters and summon them publicly. We will examine, among others: trials, conspiracy theories (as a mode of recounting a presence that is constantly putting the specter back in), investigative committees, inquisitorial tribunals.
We will examine how such social rituals and routinized practices and institutions give us unique opportunities to examine what conceptions of society, of relationships good and evil, and of justice underlie political orders, how they codify and pursue them, and what historical processes these enactments trigger or shape. We’ll focus on cases from early modern and modern societies, with an eye towards the emergence and stabilization of republican order.

Corporate finance is an introductory finance course; it is a central course for students taking the international finance track of the International Finance and Economic Policy (IFEP) concentration. The course is designed to cover those areas of business finance which are important for all managers, whether they specialize in finance or not. Three fundamental questions will be addressed in this course: • How much funding does a firm require to carry out its business plan? • How should the firm acquire the necessary funds? • Even if the funds are available, is the business plan worthwhile? In considering these questions, the following topics will be covered: • analyzing historical uses of funds • formulating and projecting funding needs • analyzing working capital management • choosing among alternative sources of external funding for company operations • identifying costs of funds from various sources • valuing simple securities • evaluating investment opportunities • valuing a company based on its projected free cash flow The course will combine lecture time and in-class case discussions, for which students should prepare fully. The goal of the course is to provide students with an understanding of both sound theoretical principles of finance and the practical environment in which financial decisions are made.

FINANCIAL INCLUSION

Research shows that countries with deeper levels of financial inclusion -- defined as access to affordable, appropriate financial services -- have stronger GDP growth rates and lower income inequality. In recent years, research around the financial habits, needs and behaviors of poor households has yielded rich information on how they manage their financial lives, allowing for the design of financial solutions that better meet their needs. While microfinance institutions remain a leading model for providing financial services to the poor, new models and technology developments have provided opportunities for scaling outreach, deepening penetration and moving beyond brick and mortar delivery channels. The course will provide an overview of financial inclusion, focusing on the key stakeholders and providers, including leading-edge mobile money offerings by telecos, as well as banks, cooperatives, and microfinance institutions. The course will examine the full range of financial services -- savings, credit, insurance and payments -- and will evaluate the early successes and failures of new and innovative approaches such as mobile financial services. The course will be highly interactive, with select leading industry experts as guest speakers, group assignments, debates, and presentations by students.

Budgeting & Financial Management for Gov

BUDGETING & FIN MGMT FOR GOVT

Public sector budgeting in the United States, and perhaps globally, has become increasingly contentious in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession. This course introduces students to the field of budgeting and fiscal management in the public sector. We will look at the special challenges of developing a budget within a political environment and the techniques used for reporting, accountability and management control. Domestically, the landscape for government budgeting is being tested in unprecedented ways. Fiscal pressures at the federal and state levels have increasingly pushed responsibilities for program funding to the local level. Municipal bankruptcy, once a theoretical and untested concept, has emerged more frequently as a solution despite its long-term consequences. Selected topics will include inter-governmental relationships, taxes and other revenues, expenditure control, audits and productivity enhancement. Lectures will also address current events related to public sector budgeting at all levels. This course seeks to provide students with practical knowledge for budgetary decision-making. Drawing from theory and from case studies, students will acquire practical skills to help them design, implement and assess public sector budgets. The practical nature of the subject requires the students’ active hands-on participation in assignments such as in-class debates, case analyses and a budget cycle simulation. By the end of the semester, conscientious students will be able to conduct in-depth budgetary analyses and to formulate policy recommendations

MILTON AND ENLIGHTENMENT POETRY

MILTON/ENLIGHTNMNT POETRY

What kinds of thinking was poetry good for in the Enlightenment? To examine how habits of mind correspond to techniques of verse, this seminar will focus on ambitious poems of Britain’s long eighteenth century, beginning with John Milton’s
Paradise Regained
(1671). Milton’s sequel is light on narrative and heavy on argument. Though these features made it less attractive than
Paradise Lost
to some early readers, they also made it more accurate in identifying the paths that were excitingly open to Enlightenment poets. We will study a range of different verse types—georgic, loco-descriptive, philosophical, satirical, prophetic—that share a resistance to plot or a desire to displace plot onto other organizing principles. We will consider the consequences of this non-narrative tendency for ecological, political, and moral thought especially, and we will discuss how poetry’s alternatives to plot might cut across some of the strong conceptual binaries associated with the Enlightenment: materialism and idealism, empiricism and rationalism, classicism and modernity, colonialism and anticolonialism. But instead of treating poetry as a vehicle for thinking that could be done just as well in other forms, we will set out from the hypothesis that the formal and technical qualities of verse facilitate distinctive ways of making sense of the world.
The course aims to acquaint students with some major poets of the period, combining familiar names (Dryden, Behn, Pope, Gray, Blake) with figures whose reputations have changed dramatically of late (Finch, Thomson, Williams, Barbauld). It also introduces students to the questions that shape the study of Enlightenment poetics today and the methodologies that scholars are developing to pursue answers. The seminar does not assume prior knowledge of the eighteenth century. It will treat the unfamiliarity of these poets as a virtue, giving us a fresh opportunity to think about what poetry aspires to do in a messy and exuberant age. Students specializing in the period ought to find the course useful, but so should people in contiguous fields or with broader interests in poetry and poetics.

RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJ FINANCE MODELING

The course is intended to be a practicum, exposing students to realâ€�word tools of the trade as well as the theory underlying them. In place of a text book, students will be provided with approximately 400 pages of actual project documents used for a wind energy project constructed relatively recently. While some confidential information has been redacted, the document set is largely intact and akin to what one would encounter if working for a utility, Project developer, project finance lender or infrastructure equity investment firm. The students will learn the Corality Financial Modelling methodology, a leading industry project finance modelling approach, which will better position them for careers in the sector.
