At the center of these debates is the notion “Africa Rising,” rendering it much more than a strategic afterthought. The aim of this course is to interrogate the “Africa Rising” narrative to give students a better understanding of subSaharan Africa. We will question these narratives and examine the assumptions made in forming both positive and negative outlooks on the continent. The course will approach the continent through two lenses: one from the side of African states, to better understand their goals, capabilities, and intentions in the conduct of their foreign policies; the other from non- African states, with an aim of unpacking their goals and intentions when engaging the continent. This course may be used for the following requirements: Africa Regional Foundation (ERFA); Africa (ERCA); Int’l Development (EFCE); Int’l Politics (EFCH) US-Asia: Critical Issues - This Course assesses the relevant background, status and outlook of U.S. relations with and policy toward Asia.

Theory of War- War is arguably the most important single problem of international politics. In the 20th century alone, warfare took more than 100 million human lives. The purpose of this course is to explore this phenomenon of war from the standpoint of the states, sub-state groups, and military organizations that wage it. What purposes do they seek? How do they pursue them? Why does war take the shape and form that it does? What determines success and failure in the waging of war, and how does the search for victory and survival guide the behavior of states in war and in peace? And what does this mean for the patterns of international politics that result? This course may be used for the following requirements: Int’l Politics (EFCH); Security Policy (EFCI) Conflict and Conflict Resolution- This course is designed to familiarize students with the interdisciplinary field of conflict analysis and resolution, providing an overview of core concepts of contemporary theory and practice. The course will examine frameworks for analyzing the origins and processes of social conflict, and leading practical approaches to the conduct and evaluation of conflict resolution interventions. Our study will focus on intergroup and international levels of analysis, highlighting collective struggles over ideology and power, sovereignty and self-determination, while highlighting the roles of culture, identity, power, relational dynamics and social structure. The first half of the course emphasizes conflict analysis; the second half emphasizes approaches to conflict resolution. This course may be used for the following requirements: Conflict Resolution (EFCB); Int’l Politics (EFCH); Security Policy (EFCI) Human Trafficking- This class will introduce students to the complex global phenomenon of human trafficking. In this class, we will discuss trafficking in human beings in its historical, legal, economic, political and social contexts, identifying the scope of the global problem, different forms of human trafficking, regional trends and practices. We will discuss the complexity of human trafficking in order to understand root causes in a globalized world as well as the relationship between supply and demand in diverse forms of trafficking. We will examine the roles of government, specifically federal law enforcement, the international community, civil society, the media and individual actors in addressing the problem and will conclude with strategies that have proven effective in different parts of the world. This course may be used for the following requirements: Conflict Resolution (EFCB); Contemp. Cultures & Societies (EFCC); Global Public Health (EFCD); Int’l Development (EFCE); Int’l Politics (EFCH);

Security Policy (EFCI) Global Governance- This course examines global governance - the creation, revision, and enforcement of the rules that are intended to govern the world. We will begin by considering the international order that lurks behind and defines any governance arrangement. This section also will examine the changing architecture of global governance. Once upon a time, the architecture of global governance was dominated by large intergovernmental organizations, who were invariably created by states and for states. One of the dramatic changes in the last several decades, though, is that the architectures and the architects of global governance are nongovernmental organizations, private-public partnerships, regime complexes, private governance authorities, and on and on. We will explore two different issues areas – security and humanity – and two topics within each: in security, we will examine the rules governing the use of force, peacekeeping, and humanitarian intervention; and in humanity we will study emergency relief and refugees. This course may be used for the following requirements: Conflict Resolution (EFCB);Int'l Politics (concentration); Int’l Politics (EFCH) EU and Russia- The Ukraine crisis is not strictly a European or American – but a transatlantic problem. Washington and Brussels have yet to develop a fully transatlantic understanding of the Russian challenge because doing so requires the abrupt revival of the moribund art of Kremlinology—not only a new birth of Kremlinology, but of transatlantic Kremlinology. This updated knowledge base must navigate the pitfalls of the “history of the present”, as we attempt to analyze a rapidly evolving situation and to parse through a bewildering diversity of primary sources which often reflect “communication warfare” rather than evenhanded strategic analysis. This class builds upon a series of professional workshops held at ESIA’s Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies, which convened European, American, and Russian experts from academia, think tanks, embassies, and governments. This course may be used for the following requirements: Europe & Eurasia (ERCC); Int’l Politics (EFCH) Indo-Pacific Security Challenges- The objective of this course will be to study the multiple issues and challenges which have transformed the Indo-Pacific region into not only the most populous but also one of the most important parts of the world. It will cover an area from China, Japan, Korea and Australia to India and Pakistan, with the principal countries of Southeast Asia in-between. It will concentrate on the global issues, including political, economic, commercial and cultural as well as military and nuclear which form the basis of current events and relations between the states in the region as well as the rest of the world. The course will also focus on the multiple issues between the region and the United States, which has both global and national interests of its own as a wide-ranging influence in the region—one which at various times may be welcome, essential and supportive; or, on the other hand, intrusive and threatening.

It assesses the historical roots of issues of cooperation and contention between the two nations, examines the contemporary strengths and weaknesses of issues of cooperation and contention and their broader significance in determining overall Sino-American relations, and discerns likely prospects for China-U.S. relations and their international implications. This course may be used for the following requirements: Asia (ERCB); Int’l Politics (EFCH); Security Policy (EFCI) Latino Migration- The aim of this course is to understand the push and pull factor that have contributed to human mobility (migration) that has transformed the Americas. The class is divided in two parts: Latin American immigration and Latin America migration to the United States. We will be interested in studying the migration shifts that have occurred in Latin America and the theories that help explain them. The themes that will be addressed are the history of migration within Latin America and to North America, the impact of this migration on both sending and receiving countries, and the various policy strategies and issues concerning migration. In order to capture the social and cultural consequences of modern mass migration, films and novels will be used to supplement the themes of the course. This course may be used for the following requirements: Comp. Political, Economic & Social Systems (EFCA); Contemp. Cultures & Societies (EFCC); Int’l Development (EFCE); Int’l Economics (EFCF); Int’l Politics (EFCH); Latin America (ERCD) Political Economy of Latin America- Latin America has emerged from more than two decades of economic reform and globalization as one of the world’s primary regions of emerging market growth. It is no longer an area whose development depends exclusively on ties to the United States and Europe. In recent years, Latin America has begun to show signs of “decoupling”; of pursuing a diverse range of development pathways. This advanced upper-level seminar will focus on the politics of economic policymaking in Latin America. This course may be used for the following requirements: Comp. Political, Economic & Social Systems (EFCA); Int’l Development (EFCE); Int’l Economics (EFCF); Int’l Politics (EFCH); Latin America: Regional Foundation (ERFB); Latin America (ERCD) Brazil: Population, Ethnicity, and Identity- This course seeks to offer upper division, undergraduate and graduate students a critical overview on the construction of Brazilian identity in sociological and anthropological works, but also in fiction litera-ture and films. It aims at putting academic analyses at a dialog with representations in other fields, in order to question the construction of a Brazilian “image”

abroad, one persistently marked by its “exuberant” natural landscape, “sensual” music, dance, and “gente morena” (mixed race people). IAFF 3187

The course reviews Brazil's history and the premises of the country's strategies to gain international recognition, its relations with its immediate neighbors and various parts of the world, and the domestic and international issues at the heart the country's international engagement: social inequality, climate change, environmental preservation, and renewable energy; food security, land use and agriculture; innovation, trade and competition policies. This course may be used for the following requirements: Latin America (ERCD) Economic and Social Development of Latin America- N/A This course may be used for the following requirements: Int’l Development (EFCE); Latin America (ERCD): Latin America: Regional Foundation (ERFB) Security in the Americas- The nations of North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, spanning from Canada to the tip of Chile, are home to massive resource deposits, some of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, and numerous hubs of innovation and growth. Nonetheless, the Americas remain dogged by some of the highest homicide rates and inequality levels in the world. Whether as a result of narcotraffickers dueling for turf on the US-Mexico border or gangs extorting small businesses in El Salvador, public security has become the number one concern of the region’s citizens and—as the region closest to the US—tremendous cause for concern for policymakers from Washington to El Paso. This course will explore the origins of today’s high levels of crime and violence, its role in and impact on societies, a review of U.S. security assistance efforts, prospects for enduring policies to provide durable solutions, and an exploration of the future threat environment This course may be used for the following requirements: Latin America (ERCD); Security Policy (EFCI) US Policy in the Gulf- This course focuses on the evolution of United States policy in the Gulf from the end of World War II to present, examining both its causes and effects. The Cold War, Arab nationalism, Islam, oil, and regional rivalries will be looked at as factors impacting U.S. decision-making and actions.

The U.S. presence in the Gulf—both diplomatic and military spans the administrations of thirteen presidents. U.S. policy objectives during these decades have been remarkably consistent; yet, there has been a steady increase in the level of U.S. engagement. A study of this period of history aims to provide a basis for understanding where U.S. policy may go in the future.

This course may be used for the following requirements: Middle East (ERCE) Horn of Africa- The Horn of Africa is a diverse, complex region whose topography, natural resources, multi-ethnic groups and varied interests all have contributed to armed conflict and regional wars. Over the last fifty years, the Horn has undergone massive transformation through successive governments, interstate and intrastate wars, natural disasters and humanitarian crises. This course will introduce students to the modern political history of Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia and examine the challenges of identity, state formation and the nexus between conflict, identity and development. The specific themes that will be covered include post-colonization independence, reoccurring and systematic conflict, humanitarian crises, and the role of civil society in development.

Do cultural rights exist, and if so, how can these collective claims be reconciled to a rights system based on individual subjectivity? Are rights inherently tied to liberal democratic values, or can rights also function in non-liberal systems? This course addresses these and related questions by examining human rights from a multi-disciplinary perspective. To do so, we will reflective on how rights have been conceptualized, envisioned, imagined, promoted, and asserted by philosophers, political scientists, anthropologists, and other academic practitioners, as well as how rights claims have been practiced in different societies. This course may be used for the following requirements: Anthropology/Geography Adv. Fund. (ESAG); Comp. Political, Economic & Social Systems (EFCA); Conflict Resolution (EFCB); Contemp.

The first half of the course adopts a top-down viewpoint, examining the global oil environment. The second half is more bottom-up, using cases to grapple with industry issues. In addition to the specific objectives below, the course uses oil as a vehicle for applying and deepening understanding of intentional-business concepts. As by far the largest global industry, oil reflects and influences broader sociopolitical issues and developments, facilitating its pedagogic use. The course is conducted in a mixture of seminar and lecture

formats, and active participation is expected. IAFF 3190

We will begin by considering the international order that lurks behind and defines any governance arrangement. The purpose of global governance is to create stability in global relations, further collective interests, and pursue the collective good. But whose stability and whose collective is it? How should we think about the relationship between governance and International order? What is international order? How is it produced, sustained, and regulated? Whose order is it? How is different governance arrangements tied to different kinds of world orders? This section also will examine the changing architecture of global governance. We will explore two different issues areas – security and humanity – and two topics within each: in security, we will examine the rules governing the use of force, peacekeeping, and humanitarian intervention; and in humanity we will study emergency relief and refugees.
