Course Description
The course addresses the place of race and racism in Western and non-Western political theory (to the extent that these should even be considered separate entities). The course fosters a conversation between a variety of different Western and non-Western thinkers in order to ask questions as how important ideas of race are or should be in political theory, how certain ideas of race came to dominate in certain contexts, how explicit or implicit racism is in certain thinkers and ideologies, whether we should consider key thinkers to be racist or whether those ideas can be separated from their other political arguments, and what it means when such questions are overlooked.

Course Description
By placing Germany in a broader European context, this course provides an opportunity to develop a comparative perspective on political and socioeconomic features and trends in the Federal Republic. The course begins with a brief historical review, and then shifts to a consideration of such topics and issues as German society, the political system (including institutions, parties, and elections), welfare state features, and socioeconomic policies, with accompanying consideration of characteristics and developments in neighboring European countries. Special attention is also given to the consequences of Germany's reunification in 1990.

INTRODUCTION TO GLOBALIZATION AND TRANSNATIONAL POLITICS

TRANSNATIONAL POL
UCEAP Quarter Units

UCEAP Semester Units
4.00
Course Description
This course focuses primarily on transnational politics, i.e. political relations involving non-state agents, structures, and processes, such as classes, NGOs, religious actors, diasporas, and social movements. Clearly, globalization has strengthened the transnational dimension of world politics, enabling people, goods, services, ideas, information etc. to cross and, to an extent, transcend boundaries at increasing speed. Yet it is less obvious what the political, social, cultural, economic, and normative implications of this development are and how it should be analyzed. The course begins by sketching the historical background to contemporary transnational politics, specifically the increasing interconnectedness of human societies over the past several hundred years, a trend that is referred to as historical globalization. The course then explores key concepts and ideas as well as the major theoretical approaches to understanding politics beyond the state, including Marxism and feminism. The final section of the course examines key issues in transnational politics, such as human rights, global economic inequality, religious difference and regional integration. Throughout the course, students consider how the transnational dimension of world politics relates to the inter-state dimension, and how globalization affects both of them. This includes examining how different transnational actors engage with the states system, which they variously conceive as a constraint on their activity, an opportunity structure to be exploited or as a relic to transcend.

Course Description
This seminar analyzes the different types of contestation in the context of the Sahara-Sahel region starting in 2000. The actors and their practices are at the heart of the discussions in order to understand their various relations toward the figure of the State. The sessions deal both theoretically and empirically with the political, social, and economic realities of war-torn or unstable environments, with a particular focus on Mali, Niger, and Libya. Security issues are approached from a ground perspective but also according to the attempted diplomatic and military responses given by national, regional, and foreign States. The main objective of this seminar is to illustrate as concretely as possible the entanglement of the logics and interests of both State and non-State actors in a region that seems to incorporate all the evolving aspects of current conflicts.

Course Description
This course enables students to acquire an analytical capacity (locally and globally) of development challenges in the face of environmental constraints through case studies. Students are encouraged to articulate their thinking around different levels of issues and their relationships of economic, societal, geopolitical, and environmental complexity. The course questions the relationship between environment and development. Development is a concept that has evolved since the 1950s and is currently being challenged paradigmatically, particularly because of the social and environmental imbalances it creates in the face of the demands of growth. This course analyzes the constraints of the international institutional framework for development, but also its local geo-physical and cultural conditions around thematic issues such as historical processes, practical and theoretical development, issues as well as environmental constraints related in particular to land and agricultural problems, large-scale land acquisition, and conflicts around natural resources.

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.

Course Description
In a trend that has been shared by all of the liberal democracies, politics has become increasingly personalized. The renewed focus on the personalization of politics adopts a comparison stance between “party democracy” and “audience democracy”. It emphasizes the loosening grip of class-based politics and the increasing role of individual politicians in determining how people view politics and how they express their political preferences. This seminar provides students with an overview of the different spheres (institutions, political parties, political discourse, political campaigns, and voting behavior) in which this personalization trend impacts our perception of politics, and investigates the issue whether or not there is a significant personalization of Western politics.
