The course is organized in four sections. Zhongqi Pan In the first section, we will examine different approaches to and the historical evolution of IR. We will briefly consider how to develop the answers to foundational questions of IR and what is the historical context of contemporary IR. In the second section, we will retrospect the evolution of IR theory, introduce the levels of analysis, and compare contending theoretical perspectives. Different theoretical paradigms such as realism, liberalism, radicalism, and constructivism will be discussed in detail. In the third section, we will turn toward three levels of analysis, i.e., the international system, the state, and the individual. We will employ various theoretical paradigms to analyze international politics at those levels. In the fourth section, we will explore the major issues of international politics including war and international security, international political economy (IPE), and globalization. We will cover not only theoretical understandings, but also international realities with respect to these issues. Learning Objectives The course is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of international politics from both a theoretical and factual perspective. Since international politics as a subject is very complex, the curriculum is fashioned in a way to present students not with everything, but instead zooms in on fundamental aspects of the interaction between states and other actors in international politics. The focus is on comparing contending theories of international relations (IR) and their application in the study of international politics. Students are required to not only understand various IR theories but also to employ those theories to describe and explain international processes and events. 1

Assessment and Final Grade Final grades for the course will be based on: Class Participation: 20% Class Presentations: 20% Review Essays 20% Final Research Paper: 40% Course Requirements Success in this course requires your attendance and attention in class plus completion of each assigned reading. Class Participation and Presentation: Student participation in class discussions and student presentations will have a major impact on final course grades. You are expected to be prepared to discuss assigned readings in a knowledgeable way. Besides class discussions, each student is required to give at least once a 10-minute PPT presentation followed by a 20-minute Q&A in this course. This means dedicating substantial time to careful reading and thoughtful reflection before coming to class. If you fail to keep up with the readings, you will not be able to contribute to and learn from the class interactions. Be prepared to ask questions and to participate in class discussions. And be fully prepared to give your presentations whenever applicable. You are required to send me your PPT presentations by Email one day before class. Open discussions and presentations provide you with an important opportunity to wrestle with, criticize, and engage the ideas and arguments presented in this course. Your presentations, questions and comments are strongly encouraged. They will add to our collective understanding of the subject material. Also, if you miss a point presented in class or something is unclear, please raise your hand and ask. If you are having trouble with any aspect of the class grasping the material, grading, outside issues that may conflict I urge you to let me know: by e-mail or talking after class if that suffices, or during office hours. Don t wait until you fall far behind. Review Essay: Students are required to write one short review essay due on week 10. The essay should produce a critical discussion of the literature you have read, preferably choosing from our required readings. You should not only address the main points in the readings but also present an argument focusing on particular issues (theoretical weaknesses, empirical problems, things that have been ignored, ways in which the argument could be improved, etc). In doing so, you need conduct some additional research by consulting other literature not listed in the syllabus. The essay should be double-spaced, contain 1500 to 2000 words and be submitted to me by Email in time as scheduled. Final Research Paper: As to the final test, students in this course are required to write a research paper, containing 5000 to 6000 words (references included), double-spaced, and on a topic of your own choice. The purpose of the research paper is to allow the student to demonstrate her/his ability to accumulate, synthesize, and formulate scientifically relevant knowledge in her/his own words. You are recommended to use various theoretical approaches discussed in this course to analyze an international political topic or event of your choice. In particular, the grade of the paper will be determined by the student s ability to analyze the 2

information by using discussed theories. The research paper must be original, must be your own, and must be produced exclusively for this course. The use of sources (ideas, quotations, paraphrases) must be properly acknowledged and documented. Cheating or plagiarism will lead to failure. Late submission will receive a reduced grade.
