This course, a continuation of D216m, will be a seminar covering how to do a complete Social Network Analysis (SNA) project, from survey and data collection through analysis. Students can choose to do either a stand-alone SNA project, either individually or in groups, or an individual project as part of their MALD/MIB capstone project or doctoral dissertation. The first three sessions will introduce the major concepts and techniques of designing and completing a successful SNA. Subsequent sessions will be shaped by the actual projects themselves, with individuals and teams sharing their progress. Open to students who have completed D216m, P212m (2011), or a graduate-level course in SNA approved by the instructor. One-half credit. Fall semester. Christopher Tunnard

DHP D220: Processes of International Negotiation

This course explores the processes, rather than specific substantive issues, of international negotiation. Using exercises and simulations, it examines the nature of conflict in the international arena; the special characteristics of negotiation in the international setting; negotiation dynamics; the roles of culture, power, and psychological processes; and the strategy and tactics of international negotiation. Special problems of multilateral negotiation, and the follow-up and implementation of negotiated agreements are also examined. Fall semester, four sections with a maximum of 30 students each: Eileen Babbitt, Diana Chigas, Nadim Rouhana, Robert Wilkinson

DHP D221: International Mediation

Mediation is located within the broader family of international intervention approaches, as practiced by individuals, international and transnational organizations, small and large states, and in bilateral or multilateral contexts. This seminar focuses on the ways in which mediators in the international arena carry out their third-party roles. Topics to be covered include: gaining entry; developing a strategy; gaining and using leverage; and challenges of multi-party mediation. The seminar relies on detailed, extensive case study analysis to understand how international mediators operate in real-time, complex environments. Open to students who have completed D220 or equivalent. Spring semester. Eileen Babbitt

DHP D223: Theories of Conflict and Conflict Resolution

This course offers an overview of theories of conflict and approaches to conflict resolution. It surveys theories
of conflict that originate in various disciplines including sociology, political science, international relations, social psychology, and law. It presents multiple levels of analysis to explain both inter-state and intra-state conflicts. It also reviews approaches that seek to settle and to transform the relationships of disputing parties. This course will provide an in-depth and a critical look at leading theories of conflict and conflict resolution and will explore some of the major theoretical debates in the field. Fall semester. Nadim Rouhana

DHP D225: Conflict Resolution Practice

This seminar focuses on three crucial aspects of conflict resolution practice: conducting a conflict assessment; facilitating discussions and consensus building processes in the context of intergroup conflict; and designing and conducting effective dialogues between contending identity groups. The seminar will emphasize the applied aspects of these processes and will use demonstrations, films, exercises, and guest lecturers. It will culminate with organizing and conducting a problem-solving workshop under the leadership of the instructor. Open to students who have completed D223. Enrollment limited to 25 students. Spring semester. Eileen Babbitt

DHP D228m: Protracted Social Conflict: Dynamics, Major Issues and Possible Consequences

This module will distinguish protracted social conflict from other types of international and ethnic conflicts. We will review contending frameworks that examine sources of social conflict and its political, economic, societal, and psychological dynamics. In particular, we will examine: the role of social identity; culture and the conditions under which religion plays constructive and destructive roles in conflict escalation and de-escalation; the dynamics of escalation, stalemate, and de-escalation; the political and cultural basis of genocide, mass killings, and ethnic terrorism; and the psychology of perpetrators and bystanders. Some conflict resolution approaches that deal with protracted social conflict will be discussed. One-half credit. Not offered 2012–2013. Nadim Rouhana

DHP D229m: The Politics and Processes of Reconciliation: Transitional Justice and Multicultural Citizenships

This module will examine the processes of reconciliation as distinguished from political settlement and traditional conflict resolution. It will introduce students to major issues that have been emerging in international conflict within states and between states. These include past injustice, historic responsibility, conflicting historical narratives, apology, reparation, recognition of past evil, and eliminating discrimination. The context of transition from totalitarian regimes to democratic order will be the major focus but also the context of oppressed minorities in democratic states will be discussed. The module will also examine the applicability of the various mechanisms in different political and cultural contexts. One-half credit. Not offered 2012–2013. Nadim Rouhana

DHP D230: Humanitarian Action in Complex Emergencies

This multi-disciplinary course covers a broad range of subjects, including the evolution of the international humanitarian system, the political economy of conflicts and humanitarian aid, analytical and normative frameworks for humanitarian action, and a variety of programmatic topics. By the end of this course you will be aware of the historical, legal, social, political and moral context of both the causes and responses to complex humanitarian emergencies and have a working knowledge of the principles and standards for performing humanitarian response to complex humanitarian emergencies. This course is cross-listed with the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Fall semester. Daniel Maxwell

DHP D230 Syllabus

DHP D232: Gender, Culture and Conflict in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies

This course examines situations of armed conflict, civilian experiences of these crises, and the international and national humanitarian and military responses to these situations from a gender perspective and highlights the policy and program implications that this perspective presents. Topics covered include gender analyses of current trends in armed conflict and terrorism, and of the links among war economies, globalization and armed conflict; the manipulation of gender roles to fuel war and violence; gender and livelihoods in the context of crises; masculinities in conflict; sexual and gender-based violations; women’s rights in international humanitarian and human rights law during armed conflict; peacekeeping operations; peacebuilding; and reconstruction. Case studies are drawn from recent and current armed conflicts worldwide. This course is cross-listed with the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Spring semester. Dyan Mazurana, Elizabeth Stites

DHP D233: Daily Risks and Crisis Events

This course bridges classes on development and those on complex emergencies. Survival risks of individuals are related to household security, which in turn relates to the economic, cultural, and political backdrop to household behaviors. Conditions that determine food and nutritional stresses persist in countries undergoing economic transformation and political unrest, but also in those struggling with globalization, increasing poverty, and declining public sector responsibility. International careers involve assessing potential risks and returns of alternative intervention strategies. This course is cross-listed with the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Not offered 2012-2013. Patrick Webb, Patrick Florance

DHP D235: Introduction to Research Methods

This course is intended for students who are new to research, and is an introduction to designing, conducting and writing up a research project. We begin with identifying your main research question—how it is drawn from and relates to the broader field of scholarship and theory. Then we explore the design of research protocols, how the choice of methods relates to the research question, and the art of data collection and field work. Course objectives are to increase your: (1) understanding of methodologically sound and theoretically relevant field research; (2) skills in conducting field work; (3) critical awareness of the ethical and practical problems of field research; (4) ability to evaluate the scientific merits of published materials; and (5) understanding of how research relates to policy and the work of practitioners. Spring semester. Karen Jacobsen

DHP D237: Nutrition in Complex Emergencies: Policies, Practice and Decision-Making

This course will examine the central role and importance of food and nutrition in complex emergencies. The implications of this for nutrition assessment, policy development, program design and implementation will be examined. This will provide an understanding of; the nutritional outcomes of emergencies (malnutrition, morbidity, and mortality); and also the causes of malnutrition and mortality in emergencies (the process and dynamics of an emergency). The course will also develop a broader range of management skills needed for humanitarian response initiatives. This course is cross-listed with the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Spring semester. Kate Sadler, Helen Young

DHP D239: Forced Migration

The course is an exploration of how forced displacement, which includes trafficking, and other forms of involuntary migration, relates to the broader spectrum of migration stemming from persecution, development, natural disaster, environmental change, and impoverishment. We begin with an analysis of the root causes of migration, then review the international legal framework, and analyze asylum and refugee policies in different national contexts. The course will explore a range of critical issues including current controversies about climate change and migration, urbanization, trafficking, and new approaches to humanitarian assistance and protection. The course focuses on refugee and IDP movements, but adopts a wider perspective so as to address all kinds of global movements. Spring semester. Karen Jacobsen

DHP D250: Water Diplomacy III: Synthesis of Science, Policy, and Politics of Boundary Crossing Water Problems

This course is a synthesis of science, policy and politics of water and builds on the concepts and methodologies covered in Water Diplomacy I and II. It will focus on water conflicts, negotiations and cooperation, and integrate scientific origins of water conflicts from emerging ideas from theory and practice of complexity and negotiation. It will emphasize both quantitative and qualitative approaches to analyzing water conflicts through negotiations using recent advances in collective actions in managing common pool resources
with mutual gains approach within an analytical framework of water diplomacy. Students will test their understanding of these principles and approaches by participating in complex negotiation simulation exercises on water cooperation and conflicts we call, Indopotamia. Spring semester. William Moomaw, Shafiqul Islam

This course explores the consequences of accelerated technological change in the geopolitically important region of Southwest Asia that includes the modern states and societies of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. A special effort to understand this region’s problems of transition from pre-modern practices will concentrate attention on the difficulties of building new institutions in radically new contexts. Along with examining changing internal conditions there is parallel need to assess the major impact of foreign involvement in the politics of each of these states and in turn what the overall effect of both large and small scale military actions have had on the attempt to build modern states and societies. Specific topics studied are modern development, ethnic and sectarian violence, modern educational change, social and cultural reaction to radical urbanization, creation of a modern legal system, transfer of modern technology, religious fundamentalism, foreign policies of major state and non-state powers. Fall semester. Andrew Hess

DHP D267: The Globalization of Central Asia and the Caucasus

The course establishes a basis for understanding modern political and cultural changes in Central Asia and the Caucasus. A major effort will be made to describe how the role of external factors in combination with internal conditions framed the problems new leaders had to confront when the Soviet Union collapsed. Special attention will be devoted to the place of ethnic and sectarian violence and the root causes of such conflict. Other topics studied are: economic development; transfer of modern technology and its environmental impact; ethnic politics; fundamentalism as a response to rapid change; the global politics of oil gas and water; and the new ‘Great Game’ in Central Asia.

Writing and speaking skills receive considerable attention. No prerequisites other than a lively curiosity. Fall semester. John Curtis Perry

DHP H204: Classics of International Relations

Most graduate courses in international relations focus on “cutting edge” research. Without a working knowledge of Thucydides, Kant, or Schelling, citizens and policymakers are unable to place new theoretical propositions into a historical context. This course surveys the history of international relations theory through a close reading of 10–15 classic works in the field. Among the questions that will be addressed: how far has IR theory developed since Thucydides? How closely do theories of international relations mirror the era in which they were written? In what ways are these widely cited works simplified or misstated in the current era? Not offered 2012–2013. Daniel Drezner

DHP H261: War and Society in the Middle East in Historical Perspective

World War I and its settlement shaped the modern Middle East. The end of the Ottoman Empire and the emergence of successor states in search of internal ideology and regional influence have characterized the region to this day. This course addresses both the Middle East and the broader topic of struggle and survival during cataclysmic events such as a world war. It is a research-based class in which students will learn how to better research conflict and how to develop a thematic approach to the study of conflict given the many perspectives of those affected by it. The course will also discuss the ways in which a conflict can transform a region. Not offered 2012–2013. Leila Fawaz

DHP H270: The United States and East Asia

An examination of the American experience in China, Japan, and Korea, from the centuries of sporadic encounter between the two distinctly disparate and seemingly antithetical worlds of Euro-America and Northeast Asia to the aftermath of the end of the Pacific War. Focus on the late nineteenth century, when mutual images begin to take form and the evolving pattern of the unequal relationship during the first half of the twentieth century. Topics include East Asian cultural traditions, Christianity, imperialism, wars, and modernization. Emphasis on ideas, national mythologies, and images. Not offered 2012–2013. Sung-Yoon Lee

DHP H272: China: From 'Sick Man' to Superpower (1800-Present)

The extraordinary changes in today’s China are the focus of fascination, anxiety, and confusion (sometimes all at once) both inside and outside of China. Though seemingly sudden, these changes have deep roots in Chinese history. This lecture course will explore the connections between contemporary China and the recent Chinese past by presenting a basic narrative of Chinese political, economic, and foreign policy history during the last two centuries. No background in Chinese history is required. Not offered 2012–2013. Instructor to be announced.

Students then learn powerful analytic decision-making techniques, including decision trees, Bayes theorem, utility theory, prospect theory, game theory, benefit-cost analysis, and tipping models. Case studies are used to learn the policy analysis tools while applying them to real world policy problems. Cases come from developed and developing countries, and cover many different policy fields. No background in economics or statistics is required. Fall semester; Spring semester. Carolyn Gideon

DHP P205: Decision Making and Public Policy

The challenge for policymakers in all public and private organizations is to make informed decisions about complex problems. This interdisciplinary course studies how the policymaking process operates, considers domestic and international influence decisions, examines interpretive models for understanding the theory and practice of policymaking, and studies governmental interagency processes. It uses case studies to evaluate the theory and practice of policymaking. Students prepare several policy memoranda on national security and domestic issues, and participate in simulated meetings of the U.S. National Security Council. This course encourages students to think analytically and critically about the theory and practice of policymaking. Spring semester. William Martel

DHP P206: Foundations of Policy Analysis

This interdisciplinary course examines the instruments of policy analysis and strategic planning for public and private sector organizations. It develops a qualitative framework for policy analysis, which is the analytical process by which decision makers define problems, generate and evaluate alternatives, and select options to make the best possible decisions. The course also examines how strategic planning permits organizations to connect policy analysis to future policies and decisions. Broadly, this course develops frameworks and tools to help students think analytically and critically about the role of policy analysis and strategic planning in public policy. Fall semester. William Martel

DHP P207: GIS for International Applications

This course introduces students to the use of geospatial technologies, data, and analysis focusing on applications in the international context. The course gives primary emphasis to the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for data creation, mapping, and analysis. It will also cover the use of global positioning systems (GPS) for field data collection and mapping; cartography for high quality visualization; and the use of map mash-ups and crowd sourcing in the international arena. Final projects are large-format poster info-graphics. More detailed course information is available at: https://wikis.uit.tufts.edu/confluence/display/GISINT/Home. Enrollment limited to 26 students. Spring semester. Patrick Florance, Barbara Parmenter

DHP P208: Geography, Foreign Policy, and World Order

Napoleon asserted that “the policy of a state lies in its geography.” Arguably, world order itself—the formal structure of any well-functioning international system—depends on its conformity with underlying geographical realities. In contrast with the often static “control” orientation of politics, geography, along with oceanography and meteorology, and related natural-social processes can be highly dynamic. Course subjects include: boundaries and the partitioning of territory; human migration and rural and urban settlement patterns, including formation of megacities; selection of the sites of political capitals and the venues for diplomatic meetings; “classical” theories of geographical determinism and possibilism and the concepts of contemporary geopolitical and geostrategic thought; the technical methods and subtle suasions of cartography, Geographic Information Systems, and policymakers’ “mental maps.” Not offered 2012–2013. Alan Henrikson

DHP P209: International NGOS: Ethics and Management Practice

The course will look at key ethical frameworks for individual action within international development and humanitarian agencies. This course will confront students with ethical dilemmas and challenge them to reflect on the moral and ethical ideas underpinning today’s changing world. In turning to international NGO management practice, students are asked to develop their own NGO, using the skills learned. This course will introduce students to such essential skills such as strategic planning, advocacy, the media, human resource management, fundraising, budgets, evaluation and reading financial statements. Not offered in 2012–2013. John Hammock

DHP P210: Research Design and Methodology

This course covers the basics of research design and methods in political science. The first part of the course is devoted to developing a research question, constructing testable theories, understanding the advantages of quantitative and qualitative methods, and concept formation. The second part of the course focuses on specific research methods (historical analysis, statistical methods, field research, archival research, and experiments) and their relative strengths and weaknesses. The final section of the course addresses the ways in which scholars combine different methods to study political phenomena. Open to PhD students only or with permission of instructor. Fall semester. H. Zeynep Bulutgil

DHP P211: Field Seminar in Comparative Politics and International Relations

In this seminar, students will analyze classic and contemporary work in comparative politics and international relations from a methodological perspective. The readings will cover the major themes and theories that dominate these fields. They will also include both exemplary and less successful applications of both theory and methods, with the goal of students learning how to better develop their own research strategies. Participants will be required to produce and present a draft dissertation proposal by the end of the course. Open to PhD students only or with permission of the instructors. Spring semester. H. Zeynep Bulutgil, Nancy Hite

DHP P213: Rights-Based Approach to Design, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning

This course addresses the practical elements of The Rights-Based Approach (RBA), which considers how to design, monitor, evaluate, and learn at this new standard. We will explore the principles of RBA, and consider the essential program design elements that bring the theory into practice. The course will cover how to analyze people’s rights conditions and power position within society and we will make use of analytical tools that assist us in identifying leverage points for change. Also, the subject of Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) will be covered. Students will be engaged in designing a simple impact evaluation that will challenge them to make important decisions to tailor their evaluation to context and conditions. Spring semester. Bridget Snell, Ashley Tsongas

DHP P214: The Evolution of Strategy

As shifts in the global order continue to cascade upon each other, policymakers need to be asking: How do we formulate a grand strategy for managing a world that shows signs of increasing disorder? What principles should govern foreign policy? What choices should societies make? How do we create some order out of the emerging disorder? To better understand these questions, this course explores the problem of strategy. To help scholars and policymakers define more carefully and precisely what they mean by strategy, the course examines the existing scholarly and policy literature on strategy, focusing on the more critical theorists and strategists who have contributed to decisions about problems confronting the state. It encourages the student to think analytically about strategy and to understand how scholars and policymakers tackle the problem of formulating strategies to guide the policies of the state. Fall semester. William Martel

DHP P217: Global Political Economy

What determines the direction, magnitude, governance, and fluctuation of international economic exchange? This course surveys the theories and issue areas of the global political economy, both in the current day and in the past. Different analytical models are presented to explain the variations in economic exchange over time. The issue areas that will be examined include: world trade, monetary orders, global finance, and foreign investment. Current topics that will be covered include: the effects of the 2007–2008 financial crisis, the rise of the BRIC economies, the future of the dollar, and the future of global economic governance. Fall semester–Nancy Hite; Spring semester–Katrina Burgess

DHP P219: Political Economy of Development

This class offers a survey of some of the key debates and issues in the political economy of development. Part One examines alternative conceptions of development and how they have informed policies in developed and developing countries since the 1950s. Part Two analyzes alternative development trajectories among nation-states with an emphasis on the role of the state in promoting or retarding development. Part Three is devoted to current topics such as the rise of China and India, new approaches to poverty alleviation, and the impact of global financial crises on developing countries. Spring semester. Katrina Burgess

DHP P220m: Understanding Mass Atrocities

The study and development of policy related to “genocide” and mass atrocities are highly contested in terms of the universe of cases, key definitions, and thresholds of violence that should trigger action. This module provides an overview of the debates by introducing the key concepts, contexts and policies related to mass atrocities. Beginning with the introduction of the term “genocide,” we will explore a range of terminologies and frameworks for defining and explaining mass violence against civilians. One-half credit. Spring semester. Bridget Conley-Zilkic

DHP P222: Development Aid in Practice

This course provides an overview of the operational and professional world of development. It covers choices, key concepts, and the main tools in the practice of development. Students will not learn technical knowledge in education, health, infrastructure, etc., but they will learn about cross-cutting issues that appear in all fields of development cooperation. This class also covers some macro background issues related to development assistance—the factors behind why and how aid is given. Fall semester. Peter Uvin, Robert Wilkinson

DHP P223: Political Violence: Theories and Approaches

Political violence haunts the globe. Varied in form and scale, such violence ranges from assassination and suicide-delivered massacre, to civil war, state-sponsored repression, genocide, and inter-state aggression. This course seeks to understand the origins and logic of political violence, and considers possible approaches to its prevention, containment, or termination. To these ends, the course explores theories of political violence, pausing at intervals to extract the policy implications of the theoretical literature in conjunction with empirical cases mainly drawn from the Latin American Experience. Not offered 2012–2013. Instructor to be announced.

DHP P224: Culture, Human Values and Development

The influence of cultural values, beliefs, and attitudes on the evolution of societies has been shunned by scholars, politicians, and development experts. It is much more common for the experts to cite geographic constraints, insufficient resources, bad policies, or weak institutions. But by avoiding values and culture, they ignore an important part of the explanation why some societies or ethno-religious groups do better than others with respect to democratic governance, social justice, and prosperity. They also ignore the possibility that progress can be accelerated by (1) analyzing cultural strengths and weaknesses, and (2) addressing cultural change as a purposive policy to apply through families, schools, churches, media, leadership, and/or the law. Fall semester; Spring semester. Miguel Basáñez

DHP P225m: Design and Monitoring of Peacebuilding and Development

The course explores core components of the program cycle, beginning with peacebuilding theories that underpin program design and ending with the development of high-quality indicators for monitoring. The core concepts of design and monitoring will be applied primarily to international development and peacebuilding programming. This practical course is intended for students who wish to obtain a strong skill set in Design, Monitoring, and Evaluation (DME) and work in peacebuilding or international development. Enrollment limited to 35 students. One-half credit. August Pre-Session; January 2013; May 2013. Cheyanne Scharbatke-Church

DHP P226m: Evaluation of Peacebuilding and Development for Practitioners and Donors

The course provides an in-depth, very practical preparation for work in the final stage of the program cycle, namely evaluation; it also goes beyond evaluation as a discrete event and explores processes that facilitate learning. The core concepts will be applied primarily to international development and peacebuilding programming. This practical course should be taken by any student wishing to work in the development or peacebuilding field. Open to students who have completed P225m.

DHP P229: Development and Human Rights

Until recently, development and human rights practitioners lived in splendid isolation from each other. This has now changed, and development practitioners give a more central role to human rights in their work. This course analyzes the tools, the policies and the programs, and the lessons learned so far. How do we re-conceptualize development work in terms of human rights? What do we concretely do differently as a result? Are there any insights from scholarship that can guide us? Open to students who have completed L210 or with permission of the instructors. Not offered 2012–2013. Peter Uvin, Robert Wilkinson

DHP P231: International Communication

The course covers international communication from three perspectives: its governance, its many-dimensional relationship with governments, and policy issues. Students explore different theories and examples of how different types of communication content and technology interact with sovereignty, politics, security, international relations, culture, and development. The course provides the foundations of this field with a structural approach. Topics covered include freedom of speech, global media and international journalism, public diplomacy, propaganda, media in democracies and totalitarian states, media influence on foreign policy, digital divide, intellectual property, privacy, convergence, security, media and political conflict and economic development. Fall semester. Carolyn Gideon

Spring semester. Robert Pfaltzgraff

DHP P243: Seminar on Internal Conflicts and War

Instability, conflict, and irregular warfare within states due to burgeoning challenges posed by armed groups have proliferated in number and importance since the Cold War ended. With the spread of globalization, the technological shrinking of the world and interdependence of states and regions, these internal/transnational conflicts have taken new dimensions with far-reaching consequences. This seminar examines their patterns and evolution. Topics include examination of: the global strategic environment which armed groups exploit; the causes of internal/transnational conflict; types of armed groups, their operational patterns and strategies; and six case studies. Open to students who have completed P240 or with permission of the instructor. Fall semester. Richard Shultz

The seminar also includes a major weekend crisis simulation exercise with outside participants from the official policy community. Fall semester. Robert Pfaltzgraff

DHP P247: Issues in Civil-Military Relations

Although recent conflict environments entered a grey area that is neither war nor peace, the complexity of civil-military relations is not new. In the last two decades, kinetic activity, wider peacekeeping, peace building and state building have been pursued simultaneously. This seminar will analyze how international interveners, both civil and military, deal with such complex environments. Approaches will include themes, such as lack of coordination and planning; negotiation at HQ and in the field among civilian agencies, NGOs, and the military. We will examine cases and themes, as well as theory. Prior to taking this course, students should have taken a course in security studies, negotiation, or law. Spring semester. Antonia Chayes

DHP P248: Technology and International Security

Technology shapes how governmental and private sector organizations conduct their business. While technology is integral to all facets of human interaction, this course examines the relationship between technology and security in the face of globalization and rapid technological change. It develops frameworks for evaluating how defense and commercial technologies influence international security, examines technologies that shaped security historically, and evaluates modern technological developments in information, communications, and space, among others. This course encourages students to think analytically and critically about how technological innovation is altering international security. Not offered 2012–2013. William Martel

DHP P250: Elements of International Environmental Policy

This course is designed to provide an introduction to international environmental policy development beginning with the scientific identification of the problem, the assessment of its economic and social impact, and the political forces that shape international agreements. Following a short introduction to some of the basic scientific and economic factors that characterize most environmental problems, the course examines five case studies that illustrate the range of international problems facing diplomats and corporations. Bilateral, multilateral, and commons issues are studied using examples of air, climate, water, fisheries, and forests/biological diversity. Fall semester. William Moomaw

DHP P251: International Environmental Negotiations

The unique nature of environmental problems has brought a new style to international negotiations, which relies much more heavily on scientific and other technical expertise. Because the scientific knowledge base is constantly evolving, far more flexible, process oriented treaties are being negotiated to address environmental issues than has traditionally been the case in other areas. This course brings together a scientist and a negotiation specialist to examine with students the nature of the international environmental negotiation process and its evolution. Fall semester. William Moomaw, Lawrence Susskind

DHP P253: Sustainable Development Diplomacy

The principle goal of the course is to acquaint students with a thorough understanding of sustainable Development Diplomacy (SDD) from both a governance and diplomacy viewpoint. By looking at foreign policy through a sustainability and development lens, students will learn of the complexity of the competing claims on natural resources and the role that global natural resources play in national and international security, business relations, and trade policies. The governance and diplomacy lessons are drawn from a range of real-world natural resource policy responses, such as in the field of forests, water, food, and climate change. Spring semester. William Moomaw, Patrick Verkooijen

DHP P254: Climate Change and Clean Energy Policy

This course examines how governments respond to the challenges posed by the complex problem of global climate change and how clean energy policies can help countries achieve multiple goals. The latest science, technological developments, economic assessments of costs and opportunities, the role of the media, domestic and international politics, and innovation are all discussed. Policy instruments for climate mitigation, adaptation, and a clean energy economy are introduced and thoroughly analyzed in a comparative way across most of the major-energy consuming countries. In-class exercises including an international negotiation simulation illuminate course themes. The course introduces and strengthens multidisciplinary policy analysis skills. Fall semester. Kelly Sims Gallagher

DHP P255: International Energy Policy

Energy affects every dimension of human society including basic living conditions, mobility, and economic prosperity. Energy is at the heart of some of the most intractable environmental problems, national security challenges, and economic development strategies. Energy is also central to addressing each of these challenges. This review course maps how challenges and opportunities differ among countries, exploring basic differences between industrialized and developing countries. The policies of major energy consumers and producers are compared. International energy policy topics including the geopolitics of oil and gas, energy markets, climate change, public health, and international energy-technology cooperation and competition are covered. Spring semester. Kelly Sims Gallagher

DHP P256: Innovation for Sustainable Prosperity

Innovation is the main source of economic growth and improvements in productivity, is a key lever for catalyzing development, reducing environmental harm, improving human health and well-being, and enhances national security. This seminar explores the nature of technology, theories and “stylized facts” about innovation processes, and how to think about innovation systems. A major focus is policy for innovation. Topics include national innovation systems, management of risks, global change, actors and institutions, social innovation, private vs. public, education, cross-country comparisons, competitiveness, technology transfer and diffusion, learning and “catch-up”, IPR’s, and leapfrogging. Case studies are used to understand each topic. Spring semester. Kelly Sims Gallagher

DHP P258: Clean Energy Technologies and Policy

This course identifies the major environmental, security, and economic issues associated with the continued use of traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels. It then explores alternative technologies that are capable of providing essential energy services in both developed and developing countries. Woven into the assessment of each technology is a determination of the present policies and factors that lock-in current technology and lockout new alternatives. Types of regulatory, market, contractual and voluntary policies and practices are identified that can facilitate the introduction of new, clean energy technologies. The major emphasis is on electricity production, transportation, and building energy conservation. Prerequisites: Familiarity with basic science and calculus is expected. Spring semester. Maria Flytzani-Stephanopoulos, William Moomaw

DHP P260: Islam and the West

Going beyond the simplistic notion of a great civilization divide, this course puts the categories ‘Islam’ and ‘the West’ under the spotlight of historical and comparative analysis. After providing some essential background, the course concentrates on the colonial and postcolonial encounter between Muslim and Western societies and polities with special, but not exclusive reference to the South Asian subcontinent. Organized along historical and thematic lines, the course focuses on the overlapping domains of culture and politics, thought and practice, to elucidate aspects of dialogue, tension, and confrontation between the worlds of Islam and the West. Fall semester. Ayesha Jalal

DHP P262: Contemporary South Asia

Organized along both historical and thematic lines, the course surveys politics, economy, and society in late colonial India and offers a comparative historical analysis of state structures and political processes in post-colonial South Asia, particularly India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Among the themes considered are the reasons for the partition of 1947, the nature of the colonial legacy, the origins of democracy and military authoritarianism, history of development, the shifting balance between central and regional power, the ongoing clash between so-called secular and religiously informed ideologies, and the impact on interstate relations in the subcontinent. Spring semester. Ayesha Jalal

DHP P263: Islam and Politics: Religion and Power in World Affairs

Islamic ideas and actors play an important part in global politics today. Their impact on political change, international security, and economic and social trends has shaped international relations in recent years. This course will trace the historical evolution of political Islam from both an international relations and a comparative politics perspective. A particular focus will be on the diversity of political Islam and on the religious factor in the “Arab Spring”. The course will also look at the role of other religions in contemporary politics. Fall semester. Ibrahim Warde

DHP P264: Iran in Global Politics

This course provides a basis for understanding the political, economic, and security dimensions of Iran’s role in World politics. It was a frontline state during the cold war before it became the home to a major Islamic revolution that changed the face of the Muslim world. Iran’s role in international politics since then has an important determinant of stability in the Middle East. As the only Islamic state produced by an Islamist revolution, Iran experienced a unique path to development, experimenting with political, religious, and economic reforms, which is consequential for the future of the Muslim world. This course will seek to explain the making of Iran’s politics and provide students with the basis to analyze its role in global politics. Not offered 2012–2013. Instructor to be announced.

DHP P266m: The Islamic World

This course aims to explain those aspects of the Islamic world—history, politics, economics, society, legal systems, business practices—that are necessary to conduct business or political negotiations in a number of countries. The course will discuss issues of political economy and business of the Islamic world, with a special focus on Islamic networks, business culture, oil, and issues of globalization and governance. Case studies will focus on specific companies and institutions. From a geographic standpoint, the course will focus primarily on Middle Eastern and Persian Gulf countries, although it will also include countries such as Malaysia and Pakistan. For MIB students, this course is one of the regional course options. One-half credit. Spring semester. Ibrahim Warde

DHP P273: The Strategic Dimensions of China's Rise

This course is built around two key questions surrounding China’s rise: How will China rise? Where will this rise take China? To address these two deceptively simple questions, this course relies on the concept of strategy. In the broadest sense, strategy is the relationship between ends and means. For the purposes of this course, strategy is understood as the nexus between a nation’s long-term goals and the various implements of national power—diplomatic, economic, military, and cultural tools—to achieve those objectives. To sharpen the analytical focus, this course focuses primarily on the “hard” dimensions of China’s national power, which encompasses such material factors as geography, resources, economic size, and military power. Not offered 2012–2013. Instructor to be announced.

DHP P274: The Politics of the Korean Peninsula: Foreign and Inter-Korean Relations

An examination of Korea’s modern “evolution” as a state and society. Emphasis on Korea’s modern political history, from the origins and theory of statecraft in traditional Korea to the major geopolitical issues of the present day. Topics include Korea’s relations with the great powers of the North Pacific and the primacy of international relations in the Korean world: from imperialism and Japanese colonialism, partition of the Korean peninsula and the establishment of two separate Koreas, Cold War politics and the Korean War, economic development and political freedom, to inter-Korean relations. Fall semester. Sung-Yoon Lee

DHP P275: North Korean State and Society

North Korea is the world world’s last major hermit society. Since the division of the Korean peninsula in 1945, South Korea has developed into one of the largest trading nations in the world with a vibrant democratic polity, while North Korea has descended into a perpetually aid-dependent state that maintains domestic control through the deification of the ruling family and operation of extensive political prisoner concentration camps. What does the future hold for North Korea? Emphasis on the Kim family continuum, strategy of brinkmanship, human rights, nuclear politics, and the implications of regime preservation or collapse. Spring semester. Sung-Yoon Lee

DHP P277: Topics in Chinese Foreign Policy

In addition to participation in the seminar, students will complete a major research paper on a Chinese foreign policy topic of their choice. Not offered 2012–2013. Instructor to be announced.

DHP P278m: Political Economy and Business Context of China

China introduced a new brand of economic reform in 1980 that has evolved into “Social-Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics.” The government appears to tolerate and even encourage selective entrepreneurial initiatives and at the same time intervene throughout the business value chain to create regulatory and policy obstacles to China being a transparent market economy. This course focuses on how politics and business have knocked heads for 30 years in China and, in spite of this, what circumstances combined that resulted in China becoming the world’s second largest economy and whether the existing one party system is sustainable given the globalization and interconnected nature of the world’s economic system. Not offered 2012–2013. Instructor to be announced.

DHP P279: China Politics

This seminar covers domestic Chinese politics on center-local relations and state-society relations. Some undergraduate-level knowledge of Chinese politics and recent history is required. Conventional wisdom in the U.S. is that China’s post-Mao authoritarian central government has absolute power over society, exercised through efficient and obedient Party and state structures. This seminar asks students to reconsider this interpretation by examining how center, locality and society interact and vie for influence in the making and implementation of policy. Spring semester. Elizabeth Remick

DHP P283: NATO in the Balance:  21^st Century Transatlantic Relations

As NATO embarks upon the revision of its Strategic Concept, and confronts the high stakes of the Afghan conflict, this course aims to analyze the shifting drivers and contexts that underpin current bilateral, U.S.-EU, and NATO-EU relations. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, while also combining grand strategy with ground-level case studies, the course will examine historical and cultural contexts of 21st-century Transatlantic relations; security doctrines and vital interests; evolving bilateral relations between the U.S. and European countries or regions (France, U.K., Germany, East-Central Europe); and instances of actual U.S.-EU and NATO-EU security cooperation (Brussels, Balkans, Afghanistan). Not offered 2012–2013. Instructor to be announced.

DHP P285: Southeastern Europe in the World Economy

This course analyzes the transition of the economies of Southeastern Europe from the 19th to the 21st century. It focuses on their long-term record of structural change and economic growth, in a comparative perspective, and places the role of economic/development policies and economic ideas at the centre of the analysis. The course explores the economic history of the region and tries to analyze contemporary issues and challenges by drawing from historical experience. Questions of regional cooperation and/or conflict are also addressed, not least in relation to recent efforts to extend NATO and European Union membership to all Southeastern European countries. Spring semester. Michalis Psalidopoulos
