Course Description and Objective

The focus of this course is global and comparative politics. Therefore, the major themes of the course relate directly to comparative political changes and conflicts in the 19^th, 20^th and 21^st centuries. In order to understand global politics, we need to explore the historical legacy of international relations and economic transformation. Today’s paradigms were created in relation to specific events in the past, and now continue to fuel political conflicts and international relations. At the beginning of the 20^st century, there was a modern and bureaucratic state structure in Europe, which emerged as a consequence of the industrialization of the late 18^th century. The 18^th and 19^th century’s patterns of industrialization then fueled domestic migration and the migration of rural populations to the big cities, which led to mass urbanization and the creation of the nation-state.

During and after the industrialization process, the emergence of the nation-state led to the formation of nationalism and national identities, as we know them today. This was also a product of the domestic market, and was used in order to develop and expand capitalist interests. The decline of religious identities has thus been replaced with the rise in national identities. According to Karl Marx, the state and nationalism were necessary mechanisms of exploitation, used to protect the interests of the bourgeoisie – or upper classes. Nationalism became a new ‘religion’ and a mechanism to represent the collective consciousness.

At the time of the 20^th century economic revolution, we witnessed rapid social changes, such as women’s participation in the workforce, an increase in education across all sectors of the population, the popular use of visual and print media, and the emergence of the nuclear family, among numerous other trends. Changes such as this led to a flourishing multi-party system democracy. However, the new economic system was also the engine of these changes and has continued to reproduce itself for the sake of the free market economy. 

Today, capitalism has moved to a new stage in its development in the second part of the twentieth century. The political system of the nation-state changed because old style bureaucratic structures created obstacles for the new free market economy. Therefore, the role of the nation-state has since weakened and this has led to the formation and predominance of powerful transnational corporations.

In this course, we will observe, analyze, and understand the consequences of this transformation in comparative perspective. Every concept and phenomenon will be explored within the disciplines of Sociology, Political Science, International Relations and Global/International Studies. As an introduction to these disciplines, the purpose of the course is to develop a foundational knowledge of these fields, enhanced analytical skills, and to develop a terminology that is relevant to a broad understanding of the economic, social and political transformations of our time.

Course Philosophy:

The goal of this course is to become familiar with the social, political and economic underpinnings of International Relations. The success of this course depends on your continued and sustained reading and participation. The course will be based on a four-dimensional method of learning, and this includes inquiry and critical thinking; communication; and will draw on the diversity of human experience; and ethics and social responsibility. First, I would like you to critically analyze what you learn in this class or have learned so far through the media and your education, because in today’s world, truth is a relative concept. Throughout human history, critical thinking is one of the most important factors that have contributed to human development.  In order to become active, self-motivated, and empowered learners and future leaders, you will need to have the ability to think critically, and therefore your criticism, feedback and suggestions are necessary. Second, I would like for you to enhance your writing and oral communication skills in this course. Therefore, it is important to clearly elaborate your arguments in class discussion as well as in the written assignments.

Third, we are each part of the human mosaic, and all have different experiences based on our unique social, political and economic differences. We can all learn from and respect each other and benefit from our diversity. Please try to learn from and understand those with different perspectives from your own. Lastly, we need to learn that we are all part of this intellectual community and part of a larger society, and all have social and ethical responsibilities to our family, community, classmates, and humanity. We live in a globalized world and therefore, we need to be aware of events in our community, and the world today. In order to enhance our knowledge, we must critically examine our social, political and economic environment in order to apply this knowledge to our experience.

Class Participation: Each student must read the course materials before they attend class and I expect them to participate in class discussion. Class participation in the form of informed questions and comments will be taken into consideration when determining your final grade. Additionally, the class participation grade also depends on class attendance.

Weekly Presentations: Each week, two or three students will be assigned a weekly topic from the readings. These students will summarize the readings and prepare a content outline and 4-6 questions for the class, in order to come prepared to lead the class discussion for 15 minutes. Each student must always read the course materials before they attend class, and I expect you to participate actively in the class discussion. I strongly recommend that you present in earlier weeks rather than later in the semester, because you may not find the right time available to present, and will loose presentation points. Presentation dates are available on a first-come first-served basis. The timeline for weekly presentations will be provided in the first week of class. After we have filled in student names and finalized the weekly presentation schedule.

Newspaper Articles: During the semester, you can bring 10 newspaper articles related with our class subjects. You cannot bring more than one article in the same week. You will have to summarize these articles in class and will find the recommended newspapers listed on http://internationalstudiesandsociology.blogspot.it/, under the external links section. Newspaper articles sent by email will not be accepted. Please bring it to class, the first page of the printed/hard copy of the article. You can only bring an article from the selected newspapers, posted on http://internationalstudiesandsociology.blogspot and you will find them under links section.

Responsibility: You and/or your parents pay tuition for this class; therefore, you have responsibility to yourself and/or your parents. Passing or failing the class is not the main objective, rather that you learn and improve your knowledge. Please read and try to understand the main concepts of this class. If you are having difficulty, please do not hesitate to see me and discuss your concerns!

Each year, almost more than a million people graduate from Chinese and American public universities (see http://collegecompletion.chronicle.com/). As you will see from the statistics, the job market is very competitive; therefore, students need to improve their knowledge, skill, and experience in order to find a job they want. Learning is a lifelong process. An academic institution like Shanghai University will provide you with an educational discipline and methodology; everything else is up to you. You should study and improve your skills, in order to compete with the rest of the graduates. While you are in the program, you should apply for internships to obtain relevant experiences before you graduate. Therefore, if you need a letter of recommendation for an internship or job, please do not hesitate to ask me, if you receive at least an A, A- or B+ grade from my class. Please also remember that an undergraduate degree might not be enough to find the job you want; therefore, you might need to apply to graduate school. In order to apply to graduate school, you will also need to have a letter of recommendation. I am also happy to advise you on graduate school or provide a letter of recommendation if you receive an A, A- or B+ grade. 

No Laptops and cell phones will be allowed in this class.
