SEMINAR IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS

Helen V. Milner Andrew Moravcsik Robertson 431 Robertson 443 OFFICE HOURS OFFICE HOURS This seminar introduces the field of international relations. It is designed primarily for students pursuing the PhD in Political Science, Public Policy and related fields. The focus is on fundamental theoretical debates in IR and their relationship to empirical social science. The course complements other graduate offerings, which focus on discrete empirical and applications of these theories or methodological issues. Students should finish the course with an ability to situate arguments in the conceptual structure and intellectual history of IR theory, to grasp the assumptions, logical structure and implications of various theoretical positions, and to appreciate the diverse range of available concepts and explanations for state behavior.

Requirements for the course are:

(1) Attendance and active participation in discussion. All students are expected to participate actively in class discussions of all readings. This means students should be prepared to summarize, assess critically and evaluate the significance of every reading, without using notes. (2) Formal advocacy and defense of specific readings. Students serve as formal advocates or critics of specific readings highlighted in yellow on the syllabus. The advocate speaks first. This does not mean summarizing the argument—unnecessary, because everyone has read it—but rather: (a) situating the contribution in the literature; (b) identifying the salient theoretical contribution and its broader implications; (c) identifying its major strengths as a contribution to IR theory. Critics challenge the contribution, its salience and implications, or point to theoretical or broad empirical weaknesses.

(3) Three 5 pp. papers. Each paper comments critically on 1-2 readings for a given week, selected from those marked in yellow. These papers must be distributed to the entire class by e-mail by 6 p.m. on the Monday preceding class; authors must also be prepared to discuss this paper in class. NB: A paper writer may not assume the role of a critic or defender (see 2 above) of the same reading. While these papers necessarily engage in minimal necessary summary and criticism of the respective readings, and occasionally “referee” debates among established authorities, neither is their primary purpose. Rather, the primary purpose of the papers is to use summary and criticism as a foundation from which to set forth original theoretical, empirical or methodological insights about how IR scholars can improve theories about the underlying phenomena and develop new empirical insights about important cases, thereby charting the best direction forward toward new and improved IR theory.

(4) Oral presentation of articles selected by students. During the final weeks of the course, 45-60 minutes of the seminar will be devoted to students leading a discussion of 1-2 articles they have selected. Articles may reflect: (a) current published research (i.e. from the last five years); and/or (b) classic research pertaining to a major strand of IR theory. All articles must be of major significance to theoretical and/or empirical debates in IR on an issue that has not received sufficient attention in the assigned readings. Articles must be approved in advance by the instructors.

(5) One take-home final exam. This exam questions are similar to those on the departmental “General Exams” in IR that students may take at the end of their second year. Each student will be asked to answer three broad questions about the IR literature on the syllabus.

Written work for the course should be submitted in electronic form by e-mail attachment only. All e-mails pertaining to the course should have a subject line beginning “POL551: …” Grading will be on the basis of all items above. Books are on reserve at the library, and permanent links to articles have been provided. Those who desire personal copies of books should search for copies from on-line providers; we recommend you purchase them used. Additional “recommended” readings, of use in studying for general exams, have been included a well.
