1 Comparative Politics Seminar: Political Violence POL GA Fall 2016 Syllabus Instructor: Alexandra Scacco Assistant Professor, Wilf Family Department of Politics Office: 19 West 4th Street, Room Seminar: Mondays, 2 3:50 pm Location: 19 West 4th Street, Room 212 Office hours: Mondays 4 5 pm and by appointment Course Description In this course, we will engage with leading contemporary research on political violence, including civil war, ethnic conflict, riots and anti regime protest. The course readings draw primarily from political science and economics, but we will be reading some theoretical and empirical works from other social sciences. The main goal of the course is to think critically about a set of substantive questions about violent conflict. Why do we observe violence at all? What explains the onset and conduct of civil wars? Why do individuals fight? Do different forms of conflict have different causes? Can we use the same theories and empirical strategies to study violent and non violent collective action? A second aim of the course is to examine a range of methodological approaches to the study of violent conflict, including statistical, game theoretic, experimental, historical and ethnographic research. In addition to within country and cross national quantitative studies, we will analyze several conflicts from close range, including communal rioting in India and the Rwandan genocide. Requirements This is a graduate research seminar. Students will be evaluated on the following: (1) Participation (30%) You are expected to actively participate in discussion each week. Emphasis will be placed on quality of participation, including responses to the readings and to other students comments. (2) Two discussant presentations (2 x 5%) You will serve as a lead discussant for two of the course sessions during the semester. Presentations should be approximately 10 minutes in length. Your task is to raise issues about the reading s argument, research design and evidence offered. (3) Research presentation (10%) You will give a formal presentation of the research in your term paper during one of the final two weeks of the seminar. The presentations will give you the opportunity to practice presenting your research in a polished way for a formal audience, and receive critical feedback before the final paper deadline. 1
2 (4) Research paper (50%) The main requirement for the seminar is to write a page paper based on original research that addresses one of the course s main themes. The primary research in the paper does not have to be quantitative, but all papers must include a clear theoretical argument and an appropriate empirical test of that argument. To ensure students get feedback on their research papers: A two page proposal is due in class on Monday, October 24. The proposal will present your research question, a summary of your preliminary argument and research design, and include as much detail as possible on the evidence you will use to test the argument. I also encourage you to come in to discuss your paper ideas with me prior to October 24. Presentations of research will be scheduled for the last two sessions of the seminar (December 12 and 13). Readings Papers are due on Tuesday, December 20. Discussion of the weekly readings is an essential component of the seminar. The expectation is that you will read each of the required readings carefully before class. Active participation means coming to class prepared to discuss the analytical and empirical strengths and weaknesses of each reading on its own terms, and in relation to the other readings for the week. When you read an article, you should consider the following questions: What is the paper s main claim or argument? Is it internally consistent? Is it convincing? What are the strengths and limitations of the evidence offered? How else might we test the argument empirically? We will be reading large portions of the following two books: Roger Petersen, Understanding Ethnic Violence: Fear, Hatred, and Resentment in Twentieth Century Eastern Europe, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Jeremy Weinstein, Inside Rebellion. New York: Cambridge University Press. I would recommend you purchase them, but copies will be available on reserve at the library. All assigned journal articles are available online using the links provided below, or through NYU library s electronic databases. Required book chapters are available online through the course s NYU Classes page. Guidelines for Discussant Presentations During a typical week, discussants will each be responsible for jump starting the conversation on half of the required readings. Rather than a formal presentation, students should think of themselves as a discussant at a conference or workshop. The goal of a discussant should be to give detailed and constructive feedback on a set of papers with a common theme. The best discussants make readers (and authors!) think about the work in a new way, or think about new implications we can draw from a piece of work for the literature as a whole. 2
3 A good discussant will do the following: (1) Avoid lengthy summaries of the papers under discussion (time is limited) and immediately cut to the core contributions an author is trying to make. (2) Identify the research question as clearly and concisely as possible (for some readings, this will be more challenging than others). (3) Identify the main argument or claim advanced in the paper and any key assumptions necessary for the argument to hold. (4) Assess the plausibility of the argument and key assumptions on the face of things i.e., before considering the evidence offered. Is it convincing? (Many problems arise as early as this stage.) (5) Briefly describe the author s empirical strategy. What is the research design? Is it appropriate? (6) Evaluate the core evidence in the paper. What evidence is used to build the author s case? Is it the right evidence? Is it used in the right way? (7) Leave relatively minor quibbles until the end ( I don t like the graphs is a fair point but shouldn t occupy us for long). (8) Be constructive. The most compelling critique is a sympathetic critique. (9) As a bonus, it is helpful to think about the papers in relation to one another. Are they speaking to each other in some way? If so, how?
