Course Introduction
Drawing on academic literature, lectures, panel discussions and films, 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 politics. The theoretical literature is drawn from different fields in the social sciences, including comparative politics, International relations, political sociology, and economics; the lectures include Columbia faculty as well as distinguished practitioners currently working in various international policy fields. The course is designed to enhance students' abilities to think critically and analytically about current problems and challenges in international politics.
The course is composed of several introductory sessions followed by three-week modules, on International Political Economy; States, Regimes, and Rights; and War and Peace. The weekly requirements, including the reading assignments, the plenary session and seminar-style sections form an integral whole. All students are required to attend the Monday plenaries and to do the assigned readings before their (6804) section each week because the readings and lectures, films and panels form the basis of the sections. For each module there will be an assignment that will constitute one quarter of the final grade; the remaining quarter will be based on participation in section.
