1 PS 439G-001: Civil Conflict Course Time: MW 3:30-4:45pm Location: Whitehall Classroom Bldg, Rm. 208-CB Course Website: Instructor: Dr. Clayton Thyne Office Hours: MW 1:00-2:30pm or by appointment Phone: COURSE DESCRIPTION This course exposes students to the burgeoning academic literature on civil wars, concentrating on the causes, duration, management, and consequences of civil wars. The first part of the class examines factors that make civil wars more or less likely to occur, such as greed, grievance, ethnic conflict, economic development, income, and regime type. These factors are studied in the context of several case studies of prominent civil wars. The second part of the course focuses on factors that increase or decrease the length or duration of civil wars including rebel group motivations, rebel group financing, misperceptions, commitment problems, military factors, and state capacity. The final section of the class seeks to understand the frequency and success of third party conflict management in civil wars and the broader internal and external consequences of civil wars, including economic growth, economic development, public health, education, and democratization. COURSE REQUIREMENTS Your course grade is based on class participation, quizzes, two exams, and a final paper. 1. Class Attendance and Participation (10%): This course will be run as an upper division seminar. Each class period will involve a discussion of the readings and audio/video clips assigned for that day. You must come to class and be prepared to discuss each reading. While you are reading the assigned course material, I encourage you to consider the following questions: a) What is the research question? b) What is the researcher's theoretical argument? c) What methods/approach does the author use to try to answer the question? d) Is this approach suitable for the question or theory? e) If the author provides empirical tests, are the operational measures of the concepts appropriate? f) What are the most significant research findings & how do these relate to other course readings? g) To what degree do you think the researcher has answered his/her research questions? In regards to attendance, I expect you to come to every session to get full participation points. I will pass around an attendance sheet daily, which you ll have to sign. I will subtract 2 points from your final grade for each unexcused absence. You must have documentation for an absence to be excused for an illness. Given the massive number of potential excuses, I will deal with all other excuses on a case-by-case basis using the reasonable man standard (e.g., grandma passing away, scholarship interview=excused; tailgating horse races, massive hangover=unexcused). 2. Research Paper (25%): You will write a research paper that applies concepts and theories discussed in the course to a specific civil war. I will distribute a description of the paper assignment on the first day of class and post a copy on the course website as well. You must turn in a hard copy and an identical electronic version of your paper. A hard copy of the paper is due at the beginning of class on December 10 th. Any paper turned in after the start of class will be penalized 10% for every 12 hours, or part thereof, that the paper is late. You are also required to me an exact version of the paper in Microsoft Word format by 5pm on December 10th. The electronic version will allow me to use appropriate software to check for plagiarism. 3. Examinations (25% each): There are two exams in this course, a midterm exam and a final exam (not comprehensive). The midterm exam is scheduled on Wednesday, Oct. 22 and the final exam is scheduled on Monday,
2 Dec. 15 at 1pm. Make-up exams will be given only to students with medical or personal emergencies. You should make every reasonable effort to contact me before the exam or you will receive zero credit. 4. Quizzes (15%): You will have six announced quizzes throughout the semester. The quiz dates are listed in the course schedule below. While the exams will ask you to think deeply about the readings (i.e., be mostly essay), the quizzes are simply meant to make sure you are doing the readings. Thus, the questions will be multiple-choice and relatively easy. Five of the six quiz grades will count towards your final grade. The lowest grade will be dropped. Quizzes cannot be made up for any circumstance. If you miss class on a quiz date, that will be the quiz I drop when calculating your final grade. Final course grades will be assigned using the following scale: A 100% - 90% B 89.9% - 80% C 79.9% - 70% D 69.9% - 60% E 59.9% - 0% In order to receive a passing grade in this course, ALL COURSE WORK MUST BE COMPLETED. Any student who does not complete the Research Paper, or take both the Midterm and the Final Exam, will receive an automatic grade of E. A student wishing to appeal any grade given in this class must make their request in writing prior to meeting with the instructor. The written appeal must be typed and clearly state the reason(s) the student feels the grade they received is incorrect. Appeals that just ask for more points will not be considered by the instructor. The instructor reserves the right to re-grade the entire exam or assignment once an appeal is made, this may result in an increase or decrease in the score a student receives. Plagiarism and Cheating Students are advised to retain all notes and drafts for all work until after they receive their final grade. Students should also be aware that the instructor takes matters of plagiarism and cheating very seriously and is prone to imposing the most severe penalty allowed by university rules, which includes, but is not limited to, issuing an automatic grade of 0.0 for the entire course. Special Needs If you have a documented disability that requires academic accommodations, please see me as soon as possible during scheduled office hours. In order to receive accommodations in this course, you must provide me with a Letter of Accommodation from the disability Resource Center (Room 2, Alumni Gym, , jkarnes@ .uky.edu).
