1 UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE POL595A William Mishler Seminar on American Politics Social Science Rm. 314-A Fall, 2004 Phone: Web: Course Description: This course provides an introduction and overview of the literature on the American political system and its principal institutions and processes. This is NOT a course on how American Government is structured or works. Nor is it a course on contemporary American politics. It is assumed that students bring to the course a basic familiarity with these subjects. Rather, this course is concerned with research on American politics. It is intended both to introduce students to the main theoretical currents and controversies in the literature on American politics and to survey some of the important research trends within the various sub-fields of this largest field of political science. Attention throughout the course will focus on both the substance of research and the methodologies (broadly defined) by which it was produced. Requirements and Grades: The course is designed as a seminar. Consequently students are expected to share fully in the burden of seminar discussion. Although there will be an occasional lecture by the professor, the bulk of the seminar will involve directed discussions of the readings and of seminar papers. Requirements for the course include: 1) regular seminar participation (20% of grade); 2) two 8-10 page seminar papers (25% each); and 3) a comprehensive take-home final examination (30%). Policy on Incompletes: Students are expected to complete the course on time. Incompletes will be permitted only in extraordinary circumstances where the student is unable to complete the work for reasons beyond his/her control. If a grade of I is assigned the student must complete all work before the beginning of end of the Spring 2005 semester. Any work not completed by then will receive a grade of E and be averaged with the student's other work in computing an overall course grade. Seminar Papers Seminar papers shall consist of critical bibliographic essays. They should focus on the literature for one of the seminar topics (to be assigned in class) and should summarize, synthesize, and critically, but sympathetically, evaluate the literature for the week. A bibliographic essay is NOT a book report or even a series of book reports stuck together. Rather, the essay should focus on the literature as a whole and addresses such questions as: What are the principal questions addressed in the literature? What are the principal approaches, theoretical and methodological, which have been used to address these questions? What are the principal conclusions reached in the literature? What are the main points of agreement and the principal areas of disagreement in the literature? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the literature? 1
2 The "literature" for your topic should include all of the required readings plus a survey of the optional readings for the topic and the relevant literature that has been published on the topic since 1990 in the three leading journals in the discipline: the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, and The Journal of Politics. A list of the relevant articles from those journals should be appended to your paper. Seminar papers must not exceed 10 pages in length. They must be typed, double spaced, with 1" margins and a font no smaller than that used on this syllabus. They should be stapled in the upper left hand corner -- no plastic binders or paper clips, please. Papers should be put in my mail box in Rm 315 Social Sciences by 5 p.m. on the Thursday preceding the class in which the paper will be discussed. Students also must submit an electronic copy of the paper to the professor as a PDF file. The instructor will put the paper on the class web site ( where other students in the seminar are required to read it before class. Readings: Readings for each topic are indicated in the outline below. All required books are available for purchase at the university bookstore, although in many cases cheaper copies can be bought on-line at Amazon.com or other similar site.. Used copies of most books also are available. Most of these books are classics, however, an probably should be part of your permanent collection. Copies of all articles required in the course either are available through JSTOR or are on reserve in a file cabinet in Social Science 314. Books available for purchase include: John Aldrich, Why Parties? The Origin and Transformation of Party Politics in America Douglas Arnold, Logic of Congressional Action Robert Dahl, Democracy and Its Critics Anthony Downs, An Economic Theory of Democracy David Mayhew, Congress: The Electoral Connection Mancur Olson, The Logic of Collective Action Benjamin Page and Robert Shapiro, The Rational Public Students with little or no background in American politics may want to read a standard undergraduate textbook on American politics in conjunction with the course. Among the better texts available are: James Q. Wilson and John Dilulio, American Government: Institutions and Policies John Aldrich et al., American Government: People, Institutions, and Policies and Karen O Conner and Larry Sabato, American Government: Continuity and Change Abbreviations used in Outline AJPS American Journal of Political Science APSR American Political Science Review APQ American Politics Quarterly BJPS British Journal of Political Science JOP Journal of Politics LSQ Legislative Studies Quarterly Course Outline : The course is divided into 14 topics. One topic will be covered each session. Students 2
3 are expected to have completed all required reading for a topic before that topic is discussed in class. readings are NOT supposed to be read for this course. Rather, they are intended to help you prepare for comprehensive exams and to assist in identifying readings for your two seminar papers.
