POLITICAL SCIENCE (L32)  (Dept. Info) Arts & Sciences  (Policies) SP2019 L32 Pol Sci 102B Introduction to Comparative Politics 3.0 Units Lab Required Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: One of the primary goals of a course in comparative politics is to familiarize students with a broad array of political systems. The approach taken in this course can best be characterized as the active acquisition and use of a set of tools for looking at the political world. In other words, instead of putting emphasis on what textbook writers think political scientist know, in this course the emphasis is on "how we know what we know" and on building knowledge. This approach equips students with a set of tools to use long after the course is over. These comparative tools are focused on historical, recent, and current events, and students are provided the opportunity to delve more deeply into a study of the parts of the world most they find most interesting.

L32 Pol Sci 333B Individual and Community 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: What social, political, and cultural forces shape the individuality of people and yet make them part of not just one community but many, each of which is greater than the sum of the individuals that comprise it? What role do families and friends fill in this process? We explore answers to these questions by reading theories and case studies that try to explain the foundations of individuals' sense of self and the interdependence and responsibilities of individuals, families, and communities to one another. Cases we read highlight (1) how family and communal experiences (like school) influence individuals and (2) how virtual (online) and non-virtual communities are structured and sustained as social entities. In addition to readings, the class will rely on guests from the "real world" as well as field trips into virtual and non-virtual communities. AMCS Majors may count this course for Fieldwork credit with permission of instructor; a supplemental assignment might be required.

The course will mix a law school approach, with emphasis on reading and analyzing primary legal materials (judicial opinions, statutes, etc.), and a social science approach, with emphasis on empirical political science literature. Students will build skills in legal analysis and an understanding of the legal and political theories that shape US foreign relations and national security policy.

The course will cover contemporary political science research on a series of topics: How do politicians campaign and distribute state resources to win elections? Why do some voters support corrupt, underperforming politicians while others choose effective leaders? Why are some elections stolen and rigged while others are free and fair? Why do some elections spark violence while others are peaceful? How can poor democracies transition away from patronage politics? How effective are the interventions to address some of these problems in developing countries?

L32 Pol Sci 399 Topics in Politics: Health Politics 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: In recent decades, health care spending in the United States has ballooned and is now approaching 20 percent of the country's GDP compared to only five percent as recently as the 1960s. Along with this growth in spending, there has been an equally large and salient expansion of the political economy of public health. In this course, we will explore many different debates and their role in public health, beginning with an overview of the structure and origins of the current U.S. health care system. This will lead into a discussion of many special topics that contribute to health care costs and preferences in the United States, including insurance, labor, pharmaceuticals, pollution, genetics, and medical technology. Within each of these topics, we will focus on how ethical, legal, and practical concerns influence the choices made by relevant stakeholders and the resulting effects on policy. We will also consider how and why these decisions often differ from those made by other countries.

L32 Pol Sci 4262 Special Topics in Law, Politics, and Society 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This course focuses on two topics in the study of law, politics, and society. The first half of the semester will consider race and the American legal system, with particular emphasis on criminal justice. Topics such as race and social control, as reflected in police practices such as "stop and frisk," will be examined. Studies of public opinion will play a considerable role in this portion of the seminar. The second half of the semester will focus on judicial independence and accountability, as reflected in systems of selecting and retaining judges in the U.S. The main emphasis will be on the state courts, although comparisons will be made to the federal judiciary. We will consider the causes and consequences of differing methods of selecting and retaining judges in this country. Of particular importance in light of the recent turmoil in the criminal justice system will be efforts to strike a balance between independence and accountability. This course will be conducted as a seminar, which means that the class will discuss the research issues and the readings together, with much more interaction than occurs in a typical undergraduate class. This format requires that students do the reading prior to each class and that they be prepared to discuss the issues at hand.

Courts can protect individual rights, define the powers of the legislative executive branches, and ensure the rule of law governs social and economic life. But courts typically enjoy neither the "purse nor the sword" and this often depend on other government agencies to enforce their decisions. In other words, the judicial independence necessary for courts to exert the salutary effects on democratic governance is often in question. This course examines these issues from a comparative perspective. In addition to the broad scholarly attention to these issues in the context of U.S. politics, a growing literature explores the interplay between courts, government, and society as a more general problem affecting democracies around the world. Based on this broad literature, we will discuss topics ranging from judicial legitimacy and compliance, judicial policy-making, the interaction between constitutional law and politics, separation of powers, and judicial norms and rules.

During the semester we will engage with contemporary research on political violence, including civil war, ethnic conflict, terrorism and communal riots. The goal of the course is to introduce students to major questions related to the study of political violence. What explains the onset of violence? Why do individuals choose to join violent movements? Is non-violent protest more effective than the use of violent tactics? During the semester, we will read a large volume of within-country and cross-national quantitative research on political violence and also examine several cases in detail, including ethnic riots in India, Rwandan genocide, and Kurdish conflict in Turkey.

The recent backlash against globalization provoked by populist movements in advanced economies is not a new phenomenon. Populist movements arose following the Long Depression in the late 19th century and the Great Depression in the 20th century, which provide historical parallels for the causes and responses to the 2007-2008 global financial crisis. Utilizing historical, analytical, and theoretical literature, we will explore the IPE field with the intention of understanding the causes and distributional effects of financial crises. Students will submit a final term paper that analyzes the political ramifications (broadly defined) of a financial crisis of their choosing.

We begin with mechanistic approaches to supervised and unsupervised learning, then move to statistical inference with probabilistic interpretations, paying particular attention to the use and misuse of these models in the social sciences. In addition to problem sets, students will collect and analyze novel data to be presented in a department poster session at the end of the semester.

The course is required for students in their 3rd year. The specific goal of the course is for each student to develop a first draft of his/her dissertation prospectus and prepare it for submission to his/her dissertation committee. Participation is an essential component of the seminar. Students are expected to (1) submit and/or present their work based on a schedule that is finalized at the start of the semester, and (2) give written feedback and engage in discussion of the work submitted by their peers every week.
