This course surveys different political systems across the world with an emphasis upon how stable institutions shape political interactions, and under what conditions stable institutions emerge or fail Contemporary Research Seminar/European Union. I developed and taught a new twosemester seminar that introduces undergraduates to the academic research process. Students are exposed to the process of forming well-defined research questions, data collection, hypothesis generation, and hypothesis testing. The class has been taught three times, and each class has culminated in a student-written research paper that has been presented at the London School of Economics. European Union Politics. This course is a survey of the literature on the development of the European Union. Topics include institutional design and change, legislative politics, judicial politics, bureaucratic politics, and policy harmonization among others. Business and Public Policy. A public policy course on the interrelation of government and the private market economy. Graduate Classes
Introduction to Game Theory. This course focuses on cooperative game theory and noncooperative game theory, including games of perfect and complete information, games of incomplete information, signaling games, and infinite horizon games. Advanced Game Theory. This course builds off of the basic game theory course. Topics include constrained optimization, a variety of iterated games, a variety of incomplete and imperfect information games, and a variety of bargaining models. Applied Game Theory. This course is designed to be the third course in a graduate game theory sequence. In it, students survey use of game theory in political science. Topics include bureaucracy, lobbying, voting behavior, separation of powers games, models of mass action, and institutional design, among others. Law and Politics. This course is an interdisciplinary class taught to political science graduate students and law students. The course covers everything from what determines judicial preferences over the law, to collegial court decision making, to how the Supreme Court operates within its institutional environment.
