1 Political Science 395 (Winter 2016) The Politics of Corruption Northwestern University Department of Political Science Wed. 9:00-11:50AM, Scott Hall #201 (Ripton Room) Instructor: Jordan Gans- Morse Office Hours: Thurs. 10:00AM- 12:00PM or by appointment Location: Scott Hall #203 jordan.gans- COURSE SUMMARY What is corruption? How does it affect politics, economics, and the overall quality of life around the world? This course explores these and related questions. The first part of the course investigates various types of corruption such as bribery, vote buying, and financial kickbacks with a focus on recent examples from numerous countries. The second part of the course considers the consequences of corruption, with a particular emphasis on its impact on democracy and economic development. The final part of the course focuses on corruption s roots and examines a variety of anti- corruption policies. COURSE REQUIREMENTS Participation Students are expected to complete all readings prior to each session and to attend every seminar. Seminar participation will count for 35% of each student s overall grade. In addition to unstructured contributions to the conversation, participation will consist of three other responsibilities. First, every week each student will be assigned a reading to analyze with particular care. If disagreements or confusion about the reading arise during discussions, it will be this student s responsibility to provide clarifying insights. Second, each week by noon on Tuesday (the day before seminar meetings), students must post to Canvas at least one discussion question pertaining to the readings. Third, students will be expected to give a brief in- class presentation on their research projects at some point during the quarter. Assignment The primary assignment for this course is a research paper of approximately 15 to 20 pages. The writing assignment will count for 65% of the overall grade. Students may pick a research topic of their choice, as long as the topic is related to the theme of corruption. This is not a project that can be completed at the last minute. To prevent procrastination, there will be deadlines to meet throughout the term: 1

2 February 3: By or on this date, students should discuss possible research topics with the professor during office hours. February 10: A two- paragraph research topic proposal and preliminary bibliography of at least five sources due. February 17: Annotated bibliography of at least ten sources due. March 2: Preliminary outline of paper due. By or on this date, students should discuss progress with the professor during office hours. March 9: Partial rough draft (at least 7 double- spaced pages) due. March 16: Final draft of paper due. Failure to meet a deadline will result in a half- grade (i.e., an A paper receives an A- ) deduction, with the exception of documented cases of illness or family crisis. In such cases, a request must be made to the professor prior to the assignment s due date. Papers previously or simultaneously submitted for another course will not be accepted. Possible types of research papers include, but are not limited to, the following: Literature Review: Choose one of the topics from the weekly seminars and write a critical literature review on the topic. A critical literature review, drawing on multiple sources, highlights key debates in a research agenda, the positions of prominent scholars in these debates, the extent to which debates have or have not been settled, and areas for future research. Although a literature review involves a summary of existing works, it is essential to recognize that a good review also includes original critical analysis. Such analysis may critique specific studies, present an original way of classifying or organizing an ongoing debate, or offer insights on important avenues of future research. Article or Book Critique: Identify a specific study with which you strongly disagree or find in some way lacking, and conduct research to support your critique. This research may draw on other scholars who agree with your position vis- à- vis the scholarship you are critiquing, or it may utilize historical work, case studies, or quantitative data that support your claims. Country Study: Choose a country (or a state or sub- region of a country) and develop a report about the levels and types of corruption in your chosen case study. Examine sources of corruption, analyze the effects of corruption on economic development and/or democracy, and consider efforts to fight corruption and whether or not they have been successful in your chosen country or region. Based on your findings, analyze the extent to which your case study confirms or disconfirms the conclusions of readings we will be doing for the course. Data Analysis: Choose a claim from the literature we have been reading and examine the empirical support for this claim. Offer a critique of the sources of data and methodological approaches used in various studies. Address how types of data and methodological approaches affect each study s findings and offer conclusions about which studies are most methodologically convincing. 2

3 IN- CLASS ELECTRONICS POLICY Please turn all phones off before the seminar. Note that this implies no texting as well as no calls. It is permissible to bring your laptop to the seminar discussions, but it goes without saying that laptops should be used for note taking only. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Instructors are required by university policy to report violations of academic integrity standards to the Dean s Office. A non- exhaustive list of behaviors that violate standards of academic integrity includes: cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, obtaining an unfair advantage, aiding and abetting dishonesty, falsification of records and official documents, and unauthorized access to computerized academic or administrative records or systems. Note that even unintentional plagiarism is still plagiarism. If you are unsure about whether to cite or how to cite a source, then confer with the professor. Information about Northwestern s academic integrity policies can be found at: You are strongly encouraged to take issues of academic integrity seriously. Nearly 20 Northwestern students were suspended last year due to violations of academic integrity standards. Such violations can end up on your academic record and may become a red flag for employers and graduate schools. ACCOMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES All necessary accommodations will be made for students with disabilities. Please contact the professor at the beginning of the term so that we can work together with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities to make arrangements. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of the course, the aim is that students will: Apply critical thinking and analysis to the study of contemporary political and economic events; Apply analytical writing skills; Use theories of comparative politics and political economy to place real- world manifestations of corruption in scholarly perspective. 3
