Course Description
The words global and civil society have become part of the contemporary political lexicon. This course considers the relations between these two terms and asks whether there exists something called global civil society.

The course reviews the notion of civil society and its globalization process by considering the role of NGOs, dissident groups in repressive regimes, laborers, campaigners, terrorists and fundamentalists.

Course Description

This course introduces the key issues underlying the interaction of states and transnational actors in the international system, particularly the problems of international peace and cooperation, regionalism, democratization, nationalism and cultural conflict.  Unlike conventional foundation courses in International Relations (IR), this course approaches the field from a student-centered approach. The course begins with an introduction to the main theories of International Relations, then an introduction to critical perspectives in IR. After students' understanding of the theories covered are examined through the midterm, the course discusses a series of empirical case studies and global issues. The goal is to integrate theory and practice, by presenting theoretical ideas and concepts in conjunction with a global range of historical and contemporary case studies.

Course Description

The Japanese post-war political system is somewhat unique and difficult to explain. Between 1955 and 2009, one political party was in power (with only one brief interruption). On the other hand, Japan was the first working democracy in East Asia and a model for many countries in the region. Japan established a democratic system but also developed into the second-largest economy in the world, the largest donor country; and a country with a quasi-European welfare system, a low unemployment rate, and a low crime rate. In the late 1980s, the journalist Karel van Wolferen wondered how this could happen in a country where no one seems to be in charge, the least the prime minister. Others have questioned whether Japan is indeed a democracy or a whether it is a free market economy. This course examines these puzzles; the successes and failures of postwar Japan; why it took such a long time until the first real change of government in 2009; why it failed after only 3 years in power, and what the recent developments mean for Japan. Finally, the course assesses where Japan stands in 2023 and where it might go from here.

Course Description

The course analyzes contemporary Chinese politics and international relations, focusing on historical background, economic and socio-cultural dynamics.  

China's return to regional and global prominence has profound implications for understanding the future evolution of the international system but also how states engage with a non-Western superpower. This course examines the international relations of China from 1949 to present. It highlights the changing and enduring characteristics of China's foreign policy through investigating the role the Party (CCP), the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the Red aristocrats have on foreign policy in the region and globally. This course also looks at China's newer initiatives such as the Belt Road Initiative (BRI) to glean a better understanding of China's vision of itself on the world stage.
