ProSeminar in International Relations Theory Political Science 5300, Fall 2011 Professor Jennifer Sterling-Folker Jennifer.sterling-folker@uconn.edu Office Hours: Mon 11:30-1:00 & by apt. Monteith 206 http://www.advapp.uconn.edu/ (860) 486-2535 This course explores, compares and contrasts the discipline s dominant analytical perspectives. It provides an overview of the historical and current state of the field. Basic professional expectations, such as conference participation and publishing process, are also discussed. Course reading is a sampling of seminal, representative works from each perspective (for Ph.D. exams you should read the supplementary readings and get Professor Pressman s 5300 syllabi from alternate years). COURSE REQUIREMENTS: Do all readings. Attend and participate in class discussions. Attend a day of the ISA-NE Conference in November. Write one short memo (1 page) analyzing a week s readings, worth 10%. Write two short papers (5 pages) during the semester, each worth 20% of your final grade. Write one longer paper (10-12 pages) due at the end of the semester, worth 40% of your final grade. Regular attendance, participation in class discussions, and attendance at ISA-NE is worth 10%. All papers must be double-spaced with reasonable margins and font. Memos are based on the week s assigned readings and should summarize/analyze the readings. We will decide on memo orders during the first class. For other papers, a paper topic will be handed out one week before each paper is due. You will be expected to address, examine, and synthesize arguments and issues from class readings. No additional research or reading is required, but page limits are STRICTLY ENFORCED. Delineating complex arguments in short spaces is a skill you need to develop in order to publish academically. Papers are due at the start of class. The ISA-NE (International Studies Association-Northeast) annual conference is being held on 4-5 November (Friday & Saturday) at the Providence Biltmore in Providence, Rhode Island. Since the location is close, this is a great opportunity to see what a professional conference is like and see/meet some established scholars (particularly in the critical theory tradition). There will also be a sizeable UConn presence at the conference. You should plan to attend at least one day of the conference. We will discuss registration, car pooling, and other details as the conference draws nearer. As a professional courtesy, please notify me via email if you are unable to attend a class session. To make an appointment with me, please use UConn s online appointment system: http://www.advapp.uconn.edu COURSE MATERIALS: An electronic copy of this syllabus can be accessed via your HuskyCT page. For articles, stable URLs are provided and can be read/downloaded from a UConn connected computer. PDFs of assigned chapters can be found via HuskyCT under course readings (either listed individually or under the library resources link). The required books are on reserve, or may be bought at the UConn Coop, borrowed via some other library venue (WorldCat, Virtual Catalog online), or purchased (as hard copies or in some cases as ecopies) via an online vendor. --J.

It produces six journals which its members receive as part of their dues: the International Studies Quarterly (ISQ), International Studies Review (ISR), and International Studies Perspective (ISP), Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA), International Political Sociology (IPS), and International Interactions (II). Mark Boyer and myself are co-editors of ISR until 2012. Each of these journals has a particular focus, and the first journal listed above, ISQ, is a highly ranked IR journal reflecting the state of the American IR discipline. If you know that IR will be one of your major fields of study, you should become a student member of ISA. Annual dues for students are $25 with electronic access to the journals ($35 if you want hard copies). Information on how to join ISA can be found at the association's website: www.isanet.org. If you are going to focus on IR you will also need to attend an ISA annual meeting (usually in February or March) at some point, but first go to its Northeast regional conference (ISA-NE, in November) to get a feel for what is expected at academic conferences. Expect to present at both these venues as you are working toward your doctorate. This year s ISA-NE will be held from November 4-5 in Providence.
