1 1 DIPL 6000: Section AA International Relations Theory Professor Martin S. Edwards Office: 106 McQuaid Office Phone: (973) Office Hours: By Appointment This is a graduate level survey course focusing on International Relations theory. The title is important, as it is not a survey of current events or "hot topics." Rather, our focus is on the intellectual history of international relations scholarship. We will repeatedly address six questions. What questions have scholars posed about international politics? What answers did they unearth? Are these answers logically sound? Are these answers empirically supported? Are these questions the right ones? Of what relevance are these answers to policymakers? This class is intended to prepare students for advanced course work in the field. As such, there will be a lot of reading, writing, and thinking required. Expectations: Our goal is to ensure that everyone begins to understand and integrate the scholarship. In order to do this, we will rely on a great deal of discussion. As a result, classes like this will succeed or fail based on your efforts much more than mine. I expect every student to come to class having completed the reading and being prepared to discuss it. I reserve the right to call on anyone at any time for any reason. Some of the readings may cause confusion. Feel free to come by my office and we ll try to iron out any concerns. I assume that all of you are professionals. As a result, I do not expect any problems either with late assignments, attendance, or plagiarism. Late assignments will not be accepted. Cases of cheating or plagiarism will be handled according to procedures outlined in the Whitehead School Academic Integrity Policy. Students found guilty of cheating or plagiarism will receive a failing grade for the course and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent permissible. As a rule, I do not restrict your discussions with me to office hours. You may feel free to drop by at your convenience to discuss anything. is also a very workable mode of communication. Students with disabilities should contact Disabilities Support Services for special accommodations.

2 DIPL 6000:AA Fall Books: These are available for purchase at the bookstore. Feel free to use alternative vendors if you wish. Kenneth N. Waltz Man, the State, and War Revised Edition (Columbia University Press, 2001) ISBN: Graham Allison and Philip Zelikow Essence of Decision: Explaining the Cuban Missile Crisis Second Edition (Longman, 1999) ISBN: John J. Mearsheimer The Tragedy of Great Power Politics (WW Norton, 2003) ISBN: Karen A. Mingst Essentials of International Relations 4th Edition (WW Norton, 2007) ISBN: Note that this last book is only recommended for those without a strong political science background. In other words, if you have not had an undergraduate class in International Relations Theory, you will find this a very helpful reference. We will not have any assigned readings from the Mingst text. The remainder of the reading assignments will be available on the Blackboard page for the course. Evaluation: Your grade for the class will be comprised of the following: Take Home Midterm: 40% Take Home Final: 50% Participation 10% More detailed information on each of these can be found on the last page of the syllabus. Assessment: By the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. Describe the evolution of Liberal and Realist thought in International Relations theory. 2. Describe the evolution of theoretical debates in various IR subfields. 3. Describe the emerging debate between Rationalist and Constructivist International Relations theory. 4. Describe the social science research process. 5. Describe the strengths and weaknesses of qualitative, quantitative, and formal research designs.
