Course Description
This course introduces some of the main texts and debates in contemporary political theory, and provides students with the critical skills necessary to identify their strengths and weaknesses. It examines some of the key concepts in political theory, including freedom, equality, and democracy. Students consider the following questions: How should we treat fellow citizens? Do we have a moral obligation to obey the law, and when should we disobey it? What should be the punishment if we do? Are nations and cultures morally significant? On what basis should citizens be treated equally? Is democracy a means to an end or an end in itself? What obligations do we have to the global poor? Equipped with answers to these questions and an understanding of the key concepts, the course focuses on the theoretical debates occasioned by the publication of Rawls's A THEORY OF JUSTICE (1971). These include critical objections raised by communitarian, feminist, egalitarian, realist, and agonist writers and philosophers of race.

DECISION-MAKING
UCEAP Quarter Units

UCEAP Semester Units

Course Description
This course builds a broad framework to aid students understanding and appreciation for how cognitive scientists, management scientists, political scientists and public policy researchers evaluate and analyze decision-making. This course covers a great deal of ground by building a structure beginning with an overview of models of individual decision-making, moving to models of collective decision-making involving generalized communities of individuals, before moving to larger and more complex decision-making environments such as that of public policy making itself. The course focuses on general and often mathematical models – or abstractions about how things work – of (in)decision-making and encourages looking for ways to apply these models to understand multiple environments and situations beyond those that they designed to. In essence, the course aims to build connections across disciplines by promoting a decision-making process perspective that focuses on understanding how individual traits, institutions and rules, lead to collective outcomes. In contemporary societies, policy-making involves public, private, and international interactions operating in an increasingly complex environment – so having a generalizable understanding of the processes, promise, and limits of collective organization is of critical importance for beginning to solve the global challenges that seem hitherto plaguing individuals and societies now and in the future.

Course Description
Religion has become an increasingly important and controversial issue in world politics over the past forty years. Against the expectations of secularization theorists, religion has not only remained socially strong in many parts of the world, but has become increasingly politically visible. This course aims to deepen students' understanding of the events and ideas that inform these debates; to encourage students to think critically about the most influential answers that have been offered; and to provide students with resources for developing their own answers in more nuanced and sophisticated ways. The course begins by examining a number of key analytical frameworks that have been especially influential in debates about religion in political life. Each of these approaches offers a different account of how religion is related to political action, drawing attention to particular aspects of religious politics. The course analyzes some of the most contested issues associated with the new political visibility of religion, considering what they illuminate and what they obscure. Issues covered vary from year to year, but include topics such as fundamentalism, communalism, religious freedom, as well as the relationship between religious politics and violence, democracy, national and regional identity, and globalization. The course draws on examples and cases that illustrate more general themes or have intrinsic interest in the context of contemporary concerns.

Course Description
This course investigates why advanced democratic states of the Global North have seemingly been unwilling or unable to grapple with migration, and why their societies feel threatened by migrants despite their vast wealth, stability, and ostensible commitment to human rights. Given this overarching question, the course provides a broad understanding of contemporary developments with respect to international migration in democratic states. It introduces major debates surrounding migration at the domestic, regional, and international levels and offers frameworks for analyzing migration politics tied to foundational theoretical debates in comparative politics and international relations. It provides an opportunity to develop research, written argumentation, and public speaking skills.
