1 GOVERNMENT 426 CONFLICT & COOPERATION IN WORLD POLITICS Spring 1996 Tuesday 2:15-4:05 p.m. Healy 106 Professor Joseph Lepgold Professor George Shambaugh ICC 665 ICC 674A phone: phone: office hrs: MTW 4:15-5:00 p.m. office hrs: TR 11:40-12: How difficult is cooperation in world politics? Cooperation -- which is often understood to mean policy coordination to achieve jointly preferable objectives -- is often more common than pessimistic Realists expect, but often more difficult than optimistic Liberals expect. What explains why stable patterns of agreements and collaboration are achieved in some areas, while in others it is difficult for states to work together? This course addresses these questions through a combination of theoretical arguments and substantive case studies. Class time will be divided among lectures and extensive discussions. Efforts will be made to incorporate insights from the political economy, security, and the general international relations literatures.

4 4 Louise Richardson, "Avoiding and Incurring Losses," in Stein and Pauly, eds., Choosing to Cooperate Paper Topic 1 Your first paper is Due on March 6 at 5:00 p.m. in Professor Lepgold's mailbox. The strategic interaction approach to understanding international cooperation, especially when combined with the substantive assumptions about actors' utilities made by Realists, produces implicit assumptions about actors' abilities to calculate their objectives and strategies. Are these assumptions about political leaders' abilities to reason "realistic," given our understanding of cognitive processes? Given your answer to this question, what are the implications for the prospects for conflict or cooperation? Your paper should address the following issues: (a) What assumptions do Realists make about actors' abilities to calculate their utilities and strategies in a situation where cooperation is possible but not guaranteed? (b) In your judgement, are these assumptions "realistic"? How so or not? And what difference does your answer make? (c) Use a case (one we have covered or one you know from some other source) to illustrate your argument. March No Class (Spring Break) 8.

6 6 Paper Topic 2 Your second paper is due April 10 at 5:00 p.m. in Professor Shambaugh's mailbox. Rationalists and what Keohane calls "reflectivists" have very different conceptions of the role and impact of international institutions in managing conflict and facilitating cooperation. Yet both see "knowledge" or professional expertise as potentially important in shaping the way issues and options for action are defined. Choose a contemporary international policy issue (not one we have read about) and assess whether or how knowledge or expertise mattered in producing agreement to act together. Your paper should address the following issues: (a) Can knowledge or expertise make it easier for international institutions to manage conflict or promote cooperation in your case? If so, how? (b) Does your case support rationalist or reflectivist assumptions? Why? 11.

Cooperation on Security Issues (II): Arms Control (April 23) Steve Weber, Cooperation and Discord in U.S.-Soviet Arms Control (entire) 13. What Forms Do Agreements Take? (April 30) *Charles Lipson, "Why Are Some International Agreements Informal?," International Organization Vol. 45, No. 4 (Autumn 1991) *Anthony Aust, "The Theory and Practice of Informal International Instruments," International and Comparative Law Quarterly Vol. 35 (October 1986) Paper Topic 3 Your third paper is due May 1 at 5:00 p.m. in Professor Shambaugh's box. (Both professors will grade a portion of these papers.) Partly as a response to the Bosnian peacekeeping mission, NATO's relationship with Russia is being redefined as a mix of cooperative and conflictual elements. If you were a policy advisor to President Clinton, how would you advise him to try to structure this relationship for the foreseeable future? Specifically, what elements of the NATO- Russia relationship should be formally structured, and which elements should be

7 7 structured informally? What is the reasoning behind your recommendations? Refer explicitly to Lipson, Aust, and our discussion of these works. Your paper should address the following issues: (a) What specific substantive issues are likely to arise in the NATO-Russian relationship for the foreseeable future? (b) What are the benefits and limitations to structuring each of these problem areas formally as opposed to informally? (c) What are the benefits and limitations to the United States of the alternative approaches?
