Through a study of the classic texts in political theory such
as Plato, Machiavelli, Locke, Rousseau, Burke, Tocqueville we
will consider the questions and answers that have been raised
in over the centuries in the search for the best political regime.
Consideration of the meaning of familiar concepts such as justice, equality, liberty, community, democracy are part of this investigation.

111. Introduction to American Politics. (4). (SS).
This is a broad survey of government and politics in the United
States which explores a wide range of topics including elections, interest groups, the presidency, Congress, and the courts. The
kinds of questions considered might include the following: What
impact do interest groups have on governmental policy? Are there
real differences between the two major political parties? What
accounts for swings in voting behavior and election outcome from
one time to another? How do members of Congress decide how to
vote? In what ways do presidents and bureaucrats affect public
policies? This is not a comprehensive list but suggests the kinds
of issues that are discussed in this course. There are two lectures
and two discussion section meetings each week. There is generally
a midterm, a final examination, and some other written work. Cost:2 WL:1

140. Introduction to Comparative Politics. (4). (SS).
This course examines how democracy evolves and functions in
different settings around the world. We start with the emergence
of democracy in Western Europe, examining the factors that give
rise to it and help it survive. We then examine the origins of
fascism in Germany and Japan; and the rise of communism in Russia
and China, attempting to understand why these alternatives to
democracy flourished in those settings – and why they later collapsed.
This leads to an analysis of the current struggle between reformers
and hardliners over the move to market economies and liberal democracy
in Russia, China, and Eastern Europe, and an assessment of the
prospects for democracy in Mexico and Nigeria. Finally, we examine the probable evolution of democracy in advanced industrial societies.
In addition to two lectures, there are two meetings a week in
relatively small discussion sections, designed to encourage active
discussion of these topics. Cost:3

160. Introduction to World Politics. (4). (SS).
The primary purpose of this beginning course is to expose the
student to the core questions that should be asked at any beginning
of the study of international politics. Who are the major actors
in international affairs? What kind of order exists in relations
among nations? What mechanisms exist for change? What regularities
exist in the behavior of actors toward one another that give shape
and direction to the system? We shall try to get at some of the
questions raised by using three of the major approaches students
in the field utilize to select the behaviors they wish to study.
One approach is to study the process of decision-making in foreign
policy. Another approach is to study the effects that differences
in national growth have on the politics among nations. A third
way is to study the way the international system constrains the
actions of individuals and groups. The major elements of the course
are contained in four sets of lectures. (1) The decision-making
approach; (2) effects of national growth on international politics;
(3) problems and consequences of different types of international
systems; (4) global trends in contemporary world politics including
such topics as imperialism, neocolonialism, international economics
and interdependence, developed-developing world relations, international
organizations, and the limits to growth. There will be one, possibly
two, exams during the term, plus a final. Other requirements may
include a 12-15 page essay and such additional assignments as
may be made by individual section leaders. Cost:3

Greek period to the end of the sixteenth century, and (2) to help the student become aware of the complexities and assumptions entailed
in the articulation of a coherent political theory. We will be
reading the works of such major political philosophers as Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Machiavelli. We will

Section 001 – Organizational Theory and Behavior. Social
science research has developed many intriguing ideas about how
organizations and the people in them behave. This course presents
an overview of the areas of organization theory and behavior by
highlighting such ideas. The topics covered included organizational
goals and effectiveness, human relations, organizational structure, decision-making, politics, and innovation. A mixture or lecture, discussion, and class exercises will be employed. In addition, the course will heavily emphasize learning the skill of analytical thinking. The primary means of learning this skill will be practice
in picking out the major ideas of articles, articulating them
in writing, and critiquing them, with feedback from the professor
and GSI. Two prior courses in social science are required, which
may have been taken as any mix of political science, sociology, social psychology, cultural anthropology, or geography. Grades

– the world's largest democracy. The first part of the course
will provide students with a brief overview of the historical
legacies, institutional structures, and social framework within
which Indian politics operates. The second segment of the course
focuses on a discussion of post-1947 Indian politics and will
seek to develop an analytic framework to understand Indian politics thematically rather than as a mere enumeration of events. In the
final two weeks students will be expected to use the framework
developed in the first two segments of the course to address issues
of contemporary relevance such as the separatist movements in
Kashmir and Punjab, increasing sectarian violence, such as Hindu-Muslim
and inter-caste violence and threats to Indian secularism. Students
may also choose to focus their attention on the problems of economic
development in India, especially the slow alleviation of poverty, the stagnant industrial development or the lack of effort in developing
an infrastructure. Students will be expected to read extensively, do some original library research, and take an active role in

Section 001 – U.S. Foreign Policy: Process and Substance.
This course has several objectives: to provide the advanced undergraduate
student with: (a) an understanding of the global and domestic
context within which U.S. foreign policy is formulated, executed, evaluated, and modified; (b) alternative interpretations of the
policy process and context; (c) methods by which these interpretations
can be compared and tested against the empirical evidence; and (d) the ability to evaluate past policy decisions and propose
future ones. We also hope to enhance the student's ability to
read, analyze, and write in a manner that is conceptually precise, analytically rigorous, and semantically clear. There will be a
few short abstracts, memos, and analyses, plus one larger written
assignment. There will be assigned reading in: (a) two or three
required texts; and (b) in the scholarly journals. This is not
an "oral textbook" course; therefore lectures will be
minimal and informal, but rigorous and interactive. This is not the best course for students who are passive, or excessively concerned

power and legitimacy. In addition, a strong focus on reading in
class should give experience in understanding and interpreting
demanding theoretical texts. Three different theoretical perspectives
will mainly shape the course: theory of action, critical theory, and poststructuralism. Although this curriculum includes a historical
perspective starting with the early twentieth century, the focus
of the course will be more systematic than historical. Reading
different concepts from, among others, Weber, Arendt, Habermas, and Foucault, should teach the main changes in the understanding
of power and legitimacy as key terms of theoretical political thoughts, and should enable students to interpret the implicit
assumptions on power and legitimacy in current discussions on
political theory. Classes will be hold on Wednesday from 3 to
