1 Politics 115 Post-Soviet Politics Spring 2010 Stephen Crowley MWF 3:30-4:20 King 123 Office: Rice 211 Office Hours: MF 1:30-3:00; or by appointment (please sign up at: < Phone: x58286 In focusing on post-soviet politics, this course will concentrate on the dramatic political (and social and economic) events that have occurred with the fall of the Soviet empire. However, we will make sense of the present through an understanding of the history on which it is built. In so doing, the course will explore some of the major political themes of the twentieth century -- the Russian revolution, Stalinism, the nature of the Soviet political system, Gorbachev's perestroika, nationalism, the Soviet collapse, as well as Russia's rather tentative steps towards capitalism and democracy. By the end of the course, you should have a good understanding about what the Soviet Union was, and about how the attempts to reform it led to its demise; you should also know a good deal about the problems confronting Russia and the former Soviet republics, including their attempts to create new political and economic systems and to find their place in the international political and economic order. Course Requirements You are expected to complete the reading before class. Lectures will assume knowledge of the reading, and will often lead to discussion of the reading. In order to facilitate class discussion and to insure that students stay on pace with the reading, you will be asked to post regular comments on the reading to the Blackboard on-line discussion forum. Comments will be posted about once a week during the semester. (Students will be graded not on the quality of their comments, provided they show some level of thoughtfulness and reflection on the readings). In addition, there will be two analytical essays (5-6 pages) during the semester (due March 19 and April 30) and a final exam. Grades will be determined as follows: Class participation, including class attendance and Blackboard discussion postings 20% 2 analytical 50% Final exam 30%
2 Reading: The following book have been ordered for purchase at the Oberlin Bookstore: Mary McAuley, Soviet Politics: , Oxford University Press Richard Sakwa, Putin: Russia s Choice, 2 nd Edition, Routledge With the exception of these books, all of the assigned readings will be accessible via Blackboard. Additional copies of some of the reading will also be available on regular reserve. You are also strongly encouraged to follow current events regarding Russia and the former Soviet republics, such as by reading The New York Times. (More in-depth coverage of the region can be found in the daily Financial Times and the weekly Economist, both available in Mudd Library. There are other sources I will gladly point out to you upon request.) I will ask that you not use laptop computers (or other electronic devices) during class time. While many may use laptops solely to take notes, the temptation to do otherwise is unavoidable, and potentially distracting for others as well.
