2 OBJECTIVES This course will provide students a general introduction to the theoretical paradigms which have historically guided research in International Relations. We will investigate the grand theories of international relations, including idealism, classical realism, neo-realism, liberalism, liberalinstitutionalism, and constructivism. Throughout the course, we will not only learn these paradigms, but also use them in applied settings to understand contemporary topics such as nuclear proliferation, environmental cooperation, human rights institutions, and international trade. As well, the course will address the distinction between normative and positive research, the development of viable theoretical and empirical arguments, and the importance of research design. Course requirements will include: a.) weekly readings; b.) one group project and presentation, c.) two intermediate quizzes, and d.) a final exam. The grading will operate as follows: each quiz will comprise 15% of the grade, the group project will comprise 25% of the grade, the final exam will comprise 35% of the grade, and participation and attendance will comprise the remaining 10%.
