1 PUBP 710: Civil Conflict Wednesday 7:20-10:00 Fall 2014 Desmond Arias Address: Office Hours: By appointment DRAFT SYLLABUS Course Description Few fields of academic study have advanced as rapidly. This course examines contemporary conflict process. It begins with a broad discussion of the often-contested concept of civil conflict and then moves into an extended analysis of the logics that initiate and drive conflict across a set of different political and social contexts. The course examines the nature of rebel governance and the surprising interactions between criminals, states, and insurgents in different contexts. The course will ground many of these analyses in discussions of concrete cases with special attention to the ongoing civil conflict in the Democracy Republic of the Congo. Learning Outcomes 1. A theoretical understanding of civil conflicts: Students completing this class should have an understanding of the some of the key debates around civil conflict in the world today. 2. Practical grounding in conflicts: Students taking this class will have a practical understanding of some major contemporary civil conflicts. 3. Writing and Speaking on these issues: Students will gain experience writing and presenting on issues related to peace operations and state building. 4.

Final Paper (40%): Students will complete a final 15 page paper focused on civil conflict prevention, violence dynamics, and control.

Mid-Term Paper (30%): Each student will write one ten page mid-term paper focused on the civil conflict onset. 3. Reaction Papers (15%): Each student will write one 5-page reaction paper. This paper will focus on critically assessing, comparing, and engaging at least two of the readings for one class. 4. Presentation (5%): Students will present their reaction paper to the class and initiate discussion of the readings they have written on. 5. Participation (10%): Students are expected to participate actively in class. Statement on Special Needs: Students with disabilities requiring accommodation should contact the Disability Resource Center at Class Policies: Grading will follow the standards of the School of Public Policy and the University. Late Assignments: All assignments must be turned in on time. Late Assignments will be docked 1/3 of a letter grade for every day they are turned in late (i.e. an A becomes as A- after one calendar day). Students needing an extension should speak to the instructor in advance. No extensions will be given after the due date. All assignments, unless otherwise noted, should be completed independently and within the academic standards of the School of Policy, Government, and International Affairs. Students should properly cite all works they reference. All citations should be consistent with Chicago Manual of Style or some other approved style that the student has previously discussed with the instructor. Students who have doubts about proper citations styles should consult the School of Public Policy s website at Absences: Students are required to attend all classes. Students may miss two classes without penalty. Additional absences will count against the student s grade. Students with more than six total absences will fail the course. If students arrive after role is called they are responsible for informing the professor of their attendance after class. If students arrive after role is called on more than two occasions future late arrivals will be recorded as absences. Once attendance has been recorded it will not be changed at a later date.
3 Recording: All recording or class meetings, digital, analog, audio, video or any other type or format, is forbidden without the express approval of the instructor. If you would like to record any class session you must speak directly with the instructor. Lectures and other class materials provided to you are the intellectual property of the instructor. All recordings that the instructor may allow are expressly for the personal use of the individual student who has sought the permission of the instructor and may not be distributed to other students either free of charge or for profit. Correspondence: Under university policy students should only correspond with faculty through their GMU account. Please the professor using these accounts. Plagiarism and Academic Integrity: All work for this class, unless otherwise noted in writing by the instructor, is the responsibility solely of the student who should undertake such work unaided by others. All students must turn in assignments in electronic form. Student papers will be evaluated for plagiarism through the turnitin.com service as well as through any other means the professor deems reasonable. This course will fully adhere to the former School of Public Policy s policy on plagiarism. That policy indicates: The profession of scholarship and the intellectual life of a university as well as the field of public policy inquiry depend fundamentally on a foundation of trust. Thus any act of plagiarism strikes at the heart of the meaning of the university and the purpose of the School of Public Policy. It constitutes a serious breach of professional ethics and it is unacceptable. Plagiarism is the use of another's words or ideas presented as one's own. It includes, among other things, the use of specific words, ideas, or frameworks that are the product of another's work. Honesty and thoroughness in citing sources are essential to professional accountability and personal responsibility. Appropriate citation is necessary so that arguments, evidence, and claims can be critically examined. Plagiarism is wrong because of the injustice it does to the person whose ideas are stolen. But it is also wrong because it constitutes lying to one's professional colleagues. From a prudential perspective, it is shortsighted and self-defeating, and it can ruin a professional career. The faculty of the School of Public Policy takes plagiarism seriously and has adopted a zero tolerance policy. Any plagiarized assignment will receive an automatic grade of "F." This may lead to failure for the course, resulting in dismissal from the university. This dismissal will be noted on the student's transcript. For foreign students who are on a university-sponsored visa (e.g. F-1, J-1 or J-2), dismissal also results in the revocation of their visa.
4 To help enforce the SPP policy on plagiarism, all written work submitted in partial fulfillment of course or degree requirements must be available in electronic form so that it can be compared with electronic databases, as well as submitted to commercial services to which the School subscribes. Faculty may at any time submit a student's work without prior permission from the student. Individual instructors may require that written work be submitted in electronic as well as printed form. The SPP policy on plagiarism is supplementary to the George Mason University Honor Code; it is not intended to replace it or substitute for it. Resources: For psychological and social services students should contact university Counseling and Psychological Services at Students whom may need tutoring or other help with academic skills may consider contacting learning services at For assistance with writing and efforts to improve writing students should contact the Writing Center at Required Books: Kalyvas, Stathis N.
