2 1 HUM 3121 (3 hours) Russia/Soviet Union Interdisciplinary examination of the culture, history, geography, economy, political system and society of Russia and the former Soviet Union. Clips from Russian films are used as well as excerpts from the great variety of Russian music from Russian folk songs to post-soviet rock music hits. The literature read in this course includes a saint s life, a 12 th century epic, a folk tale; stories by Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and Chekhov; and a very short, but powerful, poem by Anna Akhmatova.

HUM 3124 (3 hours) China This is a Liberal Arts Core course on China that meets the requirement of the Non-Western Cultures component of Category 2: Civilizations and Cultures. It is designed to acquaint students with the essential aspects of China: geography, history, culture, religions, gender, family, demography, ethnic minority, economic development, social changes, and political system. Reading material and lectures lay a solid foundation for understanding China s past and present and for realizing progress it has made and challenges it is facing. Instructor: Yu Meeting Time/Location: Section 02: T/Th 9:30-10:45; SAB 115 Section 04: T/Th 2:00-3:15; SAB 115 Fulfills: LAC requirement 2B. HUM 3127 (3 hours) Middle East The main question we consider in this course is which forces and what developments transformed this region from a relatively peaceful area to a radicalized environment and a source for opposition against the West. By exploring critical political, social, intellectual and economic themes such as colonialism, Arab nationalism, secular modernism, the impact of Zionism, military conflict, the rise of political Islam, the status of women, and the oil revolution, we will identify the main internal and external forces that shaped the region during the last century. As this is a Humanities course, we will delve into the diverse but interrelated subjects of the region s politics, history, geography, literature, and even a bit of its languages, with the intent that this will provide us insight into the culture writ large. Instructor: Renfro Meeting Time/Location: T/Th 12:30-1:45; SAB 115 Fulfills: LAC requirement 2B.

3 2 HUM 3128 (3 hours) Africa This course is an exciting exploration of the dynamics and features of contemporary African cultures. Drawing on his vast research and visiting experience to all the regions of Africa, Prof. Agbese provides an engaging environment for students to using cultures as a prism for understanding and appreciating modern Africa. The course starts off by situating modern African cultures within the context of the continent s geography and history and it discusses various aspects of African cultures such as marriage, family and kinship; African beliefs on religions, mystical powers and death and dying; Africa s socio-economic and political structures that shape cultural behavior. The course also discusses and evaluates African aesthetics such as art, music and literature. Its comprehensive analysis of contemporary Africa makes this course the next best thing to living on the continent.

POL AMER 1014 (3 hours) Introduction to American Politics Examination of the structure, organization, and powers of the institutions of American government and how citizens are linked to government through such things as political parties, interest groups, and elections. Students will become familiar with politics as a resolution of conflict over the competition for resources, and learn to evaluate Constitutional principles as they have been put into practice over time. This course will develop students ability to navigate the political system as a citizen and encourage their active participation in the political process; help students be better informed about politics and better consumers of political information; and develop students analytical, research, critical thinking, and writing skills.

4 3 POL AMER 1048 (3 hours) Introduction to Public Administration Public Administration is both a field of study and a field of practice, so in this course we cover both. Rather than focusing on the big political questions of the world (though those DO come up), we will concentrate on how the government actually works. How do unelected government workers--bureaucrats--influence policy? How do the laws passed by elected officials actually enter the lives of ordinary Americans? And further, what are the different ways that we can organize and manage these areas to make government work most effectively? This course will expose students to the lesser-known parts of government, giving them working knowledge of the pieces involved in government administration. It will also improve their analytical thinking skills, as we break down various administrative theories and apply each to real-world situations. Instructor: Neiman Meeting Time/Location: MWF 10:00-10:50; SRL 14 Fulfills: Elective requirement in Political Science major. Required for Public Administration major. POL AMER 3132 (3 hours) Community Politics In 1787, the U.S. was primarily an agrarian nation with roughly 95% of the population living in rural areas. The country has since seen a significant expansion of urban areas. Throughout their history, U.S. cities have gone through numerous economic and social changes. During the first century, cities competed with each other for economic supremacy while contending with changes brought on by industrialization, urbanization and a rapid influx of immigrants. During the late 19th Century, cities began to face new challenges including competition from the new suburban areas and dwindling federal monies. Today cities continue to feel stresses from both new and recurring issues including urban sprawl and political competition among ethnic and racial groups. In the first part of the course we will focus on how cities and local areas evolved. We will look at the historical groups who influenced the development of cities including the machines and the reformers. Next, we will examine how economic and social factors as well as institutional arrangements constrained the actions and power of these political actors. Finally, the class will focus on the topics of regional government and intergovernmental relations. Instructor: McNeal Meeting Time/Location: T/Th 2:00-3:15; SAB 25 Prerequisite(s): Sophomore standing required. Fulfills: Elective requirement in Political Science major; Public Administration major; Political Communications major.

5 4 POL AMER 3144 (3 hours) Civil Rights and Liberties The purpose of this course is to acquaint students with the scope and boundaries of the protections of civil rights and civil liberties under the United States Constitution. We approach this task by analyzing the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court that have, over time, given meaning to the sometimes vague or broad protections guaranteed in the Bill of Rights and the Civil War Amendments. We will pay considerable attention to the legal, political and environmental influences upon the Court in our effort to understand and explain its decisions. After a short refresher on the Constitution and Bill of Rights and an introduction to the Supreme Court, the course examines the protections of religion, speech and press under the First Amendment. We then explore the rights of the accused under the Fourth, Fifth Amendments and issues related to the death penalty under the Eight Amendment. Finally, we cover the 14 th and 15 th amendments. Along the way, we will discuss many controversies recently before the Supreme Court (or soon to be there), including same-sex marriage, voting rights, the death penalty and others. Instructor: Peters Meeting Time/Location: T/Th 9:30-10:45; SAB 35 Fulfills: Elective requirement in Political Science major; Political Communications major; Politics and Law minor. POL AMER 3146 (3 hours) Law and Politics Why do judges play such an important, and often controversial, role in our democracy, and how do they reach their decisions? These are two of the questions we will answer in this course. In studying the intersection of law and politics, we will explore in some detail: judicial selection, judicial policymaking and its limitations, influences on judicial decision-making, and the inner workings of the U.S. Supreme Court. Upon successful completion of the class, students shall demonstrate: 1) An understanding of the role of the courts within the U.S. political system. 2) An ability to analyze and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of courts in making and carrying out policy. 3) Knowledge of the structure of and decision-making procedures of the federal judiciary and the roles played by the major actors in the system. 4) An ability to systematically analyze and evaluate the influence of the legal, political and social factors upon courts and judges.

6 5 POL AMER 3150 (3 hours) Public Opinion and Voting Behavior Theoretical and empirical analyses of public opinion, political attitudes, political socialization, as well as voting behavior and political participation. Instructor: Holmes Meeting Time/Location: MWF 10:00-10:50; SAB 35 Fulfills: Elective requirement in Political Science major. Required for Political Communications major. POL AMER 3151 (3 hours) Modern Presidency Take a moment to think about the institution of the presidency (not a particular president). Does the presidency have too much power, too little power, or just the right amount of power? For many, the answer to this question depends on who the president happens to be. Looking systematically at the institution, however, and its interactions with other institutions can help explore the normative question of "how much power should the president have?" In this course, we will study the development of the U.S. presidency, with particular emphasis on the modern presidency, which encompasses administrations beginning with Franklin Roosevelt's to the present. Upon completion of this course, students should be able to assess the position of the modern presidency within the American political system. Students should be able to critically evaluate the power modern presidents wield and assess this power both in light of the expectations the public holds, as well as the constitutional structure. Instructor: Hoffman Meeting Time/Location: T/Th 11:00-12:15; SAB 127 Prerequisite(s): POL AMER Fulfills: Elective requirement in Political Science major; Political Communications major.

7 6 POL AMER 3172 (3 hours) Public Budgeting This course presents budgeting in a broad way that will provide familiarity with the economic and political implications of public budgeting; the budgetary process; types and uses of budgetary data systems; and recent efforts to rethink budgeting techniques at the federal, state, and local levels in government. By the end of this course you will be able to: Describe the concepts and practice of public budgeting Recognize and articulate economic rationales for policy choices Use decision making tools to make data-driven policy evaluations and choices Demonstrate understanding of the history of budgeting practices in the U.S. Perform a basic budget analysis Develop communication regarding budgeting decisions Instructor: Neiman Meeting Time/Location: MWF 11:00-11:50; SAB 227 Prerequisite(s): POL AMER 1014; POL AMER Fulfills: Elective requirement in Political Science major. Required for Public Administration major. POL AMER 4130 (3 hours) Iowa Politics Why does the president of the United States care about Iowa, even in nonpresidential years? This class will explore the factors that make Iowa unique not only in terms of presidential elections but also at the state and local level. Iowa voters routinely express a strong preference for incumbents. Why? And what effect does this have on the operation of state government and the design of our political institutions? Students will not only read about the attitudes of Iowans but they will directly measure such attitudes by collecting original data through surveys of Iowa voters. The results of those surveys will be presented at the end of the semester. Finally, students will get to experience Iowa politics first hand through scheduled visits to the Iowa State Capitol to meet with lawmakers and lobbyists. Students are expected to walk away from the course with an in-depth understanding of the politics of the state, its history, recent trends, and expectations for the future. Instructor: Larimer Meeting Time/Location: MWF 9:00-9:50; SAB 35 Prerequisite(s): Junior standing required. Fulfills: Elective requirement in Political Science major; Public Administration major.

8 7 POL AMER 4142 (3 hours) Juvenile and Family Law Associate Juvenile Judge Daniel Block of the First Judicial District of Iowa will be teaching this course. As part of the course, students will observe an Iowa district court proceeding, learn from current events as well as familiarize themselves with topics related to juvenile justice and family law in Iowa. During the semester long course the student will develop "real life" understanding of juvenile delinquency, child abuse, adoption, marriage and dissolution issues. Judge Block uses many diverse techniques to engage students on these emotional topics including: power points, hand-outs, guest lecturers and humor. Instructor: Block Meeting Time/Location: M 5:00-7:50; SAB 115 Prerequisite(s): Junior standing required. Fulfills: Elective requirement in Political Science major; Politics and Law minor. POL AMER 4188 (3 hours) things-past-uscommanders/story?id= Mark Wilson/Getty Images Seminar in Public Administration: Good Leaders, Bad Leaders, and Bad Outcomes Why do we like some leaders but not others? Is it personality? Is it policy? In this class, students will read from a wide variety of disciplines, including political science, public administration, social psychology, and behavioral economics in order to gain an understanding of the psychology decision making and how people respond to authority in others. The readings will focus on experimental studies of leadership perception and the course will allow for students to design their own experiment to be conducted on campus. Leaders, including elected officials, make decisions on our behalf, but how we respond to those decisions is often less about the substance of such decisions and more about the process and perceived motivation of decision makers. Instructor: Larimer Meeting Time/Location: MWF 1:00-1:50; SAB 201 Prerequisite(s): POL AMER Junior standing required. Fulfills: Elective requirement in Political Science major. Required for Public Administration major.

9 8 POL COMP 1040 (3 hours) Comparative Politics This course is organized around questions that political scientists have asked repeatedly over the years: Why are some countries democracies and others are not? How do we explain transitions to and away from democracy? Why do some countries have many political parties and others have only a few? How do governments form? Throughout the semester you will make many comparisons across disparate contexts and attempt to use such comparisons to evaluate claims made about the political world. In doing so, you will learn about the similarities and differences among countries and about the conditions under which some claims about the political world apply or do not apply. In order to answer the questions central to this course, you will be introduced to a variety of methods used to study comparative politics that can be applied in upper level courses and beyond. Instructor: Wittrock Meeting Time/Location: T/Th 12:30-1:45; SRL 120 Fulfills: Required for Political Science major/minor; International Affairs minor. POL COMP 3162 (3 hours) Politics of East Asia The course focuses on two major powers in the region: China and Japan that rank respectively as the world s second and third largest economies and that have vastly different political systems. It provides historical perspectives on the evolution of the two political systems in their quest for modernization and seeks to answer the question why China chose communism as a solution to its weakness and why Japan embarked on the path of imperialism that culminated in its defeat. Following a brief description of political institutions of both countries, the course will discuss the political economy of both countries, highlighting their different developmental approaches, interactions between politics and economic development, and different social, economic, and political woes they are facing. Instructor: Yu Meeting Time/Location: T/Th 11:00-12:15; SAB 201 Fulfills: Elective requirement in Political Science major; International Affairs minor. POL GEN 1020 (3 hours) Contemporary Political Problems Analysis of selected contemporary political issues. This course addresses the relationship between governmental actors and economic actors. It explores the question: what kind of political economic system or specific policies are most likely to achieve political ideals such as freedom, equality, and the pursuit of happiness? The course then addresses more specific political economic problems, such as the food economy and child poverty. Instructor: Kogl Meeting Time/Location: T/Th 9:30-10:45; SAB 201 Prerequisite(s): Honors students only. Fulfills: LAC requirement 5C. blog.tifwe.org

10 9 POL GEN 2010 (3 hours) Analyzing Politics aei.org Research methods have become increasingly important to the social science. There are a number of reasons for this evolution within the social science disciplines. One important factor is the computer revolution. The expansion of computer technology and the advent of the Internet have made a greater variety of information and data available for social science research. In addition, a wide variety of statistical packages such as SPSS, SAS, and STATA has made statistical analysis more accessible to researchers. For students in social science fields such as political science this means that an understanding of the tools of social research has become an important job skill. Individuals preparing for a career in social science need a basic foundation in research methods. This class hopes to provide students with this background by focusing on the potential of social research, the goals of scientific research and the differences between research and common sense. Instructor: McNeal Meeting Time/Location: T/Th 11:00-12:15; SAB 133 Fulfills: Required for Political Science major/minor; Public Administration major; Political Communications major. POL GEN 3184 (3 hours) Senior Seminar: Capitalism and Democracy Capitalism and Democracy arose together in modern times, so many folks assume that these two systems must reinforce each other. However, there are plenty of examples of countries that develop capitalist economic systems without developing democratic political institutions. Also, democratic systems have been overthrown while the economic system remains capitalist. So, what aspects of capitalism sometimes undermine democracy, and what aspects sometimes support democracy? A big part of this course is each student developing a research paper on some question related to this issue. Instructor: Basom Meeting Time/Location: MWF 12:00-12:50; SAB 201 Prerequisite(s): 24 credits in Political Science required. Department permission required. Fulfills: Required for Political Science major.

11 10 POL INTL 1024 (3 hours) International Relations In this course we study and try to understand how countries and other international entities - such as corporations and non-profit groups - interact with each other and why they behave as they do. We will explore questions such as Why are there wars? How is International Law made? What's so good about international trade? and How do we protect the global environment? The course looks for patterns of behavior and focuses on the actors involved, their particular interests, and the atmosphere in which they are operating to help identify the why and what of international politics. This course will help students develop analytical thinking skills, writing skills, and general understanding of world politics. Instructor/Meeting Time/Location: Section 01: Renfro; T/Th 9:30-10:45; TBA Section 02: Renfro; T/Th 11:00-12:15; SAB 25 Section 03: Warby; T/Th 12:30-1:45; SAB 23 Section 04: Warby; T/Th 2:00-3:15; SAB 23 Fulfills: LAC requirement 5C. Required for Political Science major/minor; International Affairs minor. POL INTL 3127 (3 hours) United States Foreign Policy This course examines U.S. foreign policy from the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 to the present. Key questions of concern will be: What serves as the basis for U.S. grand strategy? What are the goals of American engagement with the world? What are the challenges confronting the U.S. in the context of America s shifting role in the world? What ideological underpinnings are there to U.S. foreign policy? The goal is to build a useful, practical base of knowledge for understanding both ongoing and future issues in American foreign policy.

12 11 POL INTL 4125 (3 hours) North-South Relations Economists and policy makers have been working for decades to try and figure out how to help poor countries grow their economies, but nearly a billion people still face hunger and thousands die every day as a direct result of poverty. People often ask how this is possible in a world with so much wealth. This course examines the political and economic relationships between the global North (developed countries) and global South (developing countries), with an emphasis on the politics of development. We will look at policies that the North has implemented to address development, policies that Southern countries have tried and the global structure in which they are all operating. At the end of the course students will have a much clearer picture of why development remains elusive.
