INRL 565 01 (11024) W 1.30-3.20 Fall 2009 This course applies theoretical tools of comparative political economy to investigate the functioning of political institutions, political systems and the policy-making process, and their effect on public policies and economic performance, with special focus on Latin America. A country?s political institutions, together with the features of specific policy issues, are key determinants of the characteristics of public policies. The purpose of this course thus is not to analyze the details of any specific policy adopted by a particular country, but rather to explain the common characteristics that systematically permeate those policies.

INRL 622 01 (11034) /HIST718 T 9.25-11.15 Fall 2009 In this seminar we explore post-WWII social movements and their legacies across Western Europe and the U.S. Examining both the actuality and symbolic character of these movements in contemporary history, we analyze the political, social, and cultural meanings of protest and its impact on class, generational, gender, and racial relations in Western Europe and North America. In addition, if students have specific interests in Eastern European and/or Latin American countries, they may bring these into the discussion and write on them in a comparative perspective in their final paper. We discuss different national histories and discourses about identity, while exploring the varied geographies of the Cold War. We then move to a more thematic approach focusing on, for example, civil rights, antiwar and student protests, and countercultural politics. We conclude with a brief look at the social movements that developed out of the 1960s.

INRL 635 01 (14050) /PLSC125/INTS304 Th 1.30-3.20 Fall 2009 The United Kingdom is often described as the ?closest ally? of the United States. This graduate-level seminar explores the historical roots and modern interpretations of this statement through student discussion/presentations and course assignments. The goal is to trace the roots of what are often identified as ?common values? while contrasting them with contemporary transatlantic issues. The material ranges from international relations theory and comparative government to practical discussions of politics, diplomacy, and business. It also attempts to examine the British assertion of the UK as a ?bridge? or ?pivot point? between the U.S. and the rest of Europe.

INRL 640 01 (11036) T 3.30-5.20 Fall 2009 Why has democracy promotion become a major component of foreign policy? Do attempts to promote democracy by states and international organizations have the intended effects? Most developed democracies and international organizations such as the European Union, the United Nations, and the Organization of American States now actively promote the development of democratic political institutions in other states. The course examines the methods used to promote democracy, justifications for the use of democracy promotion as foreign policy, the variety of actors who engage in democracy promotion, the relationship between domestic and international actors in democratization, and concludes with practical evaluation of the effectiveness of various efforts to promote democracy. Students write a proposal to encourage or strengthen democracy in a specific country, taking into account the state of the art in democracy promotion as well as the major challenges presented by the social, economic, and historical characteristics of the country.

Integrating political science theories with readings from the law, economics, and finance literatures, this course critically assesses public and private foreign investment. Focus is on whether investment decisions and deal performance are primarily a function of the investor?s endowments, the investment?s characteristics, or the state of global liquidity. In particular, investment decisions are analyzed through two competing paradigms with the use of large-N evidence and relevant case studies from emerging markets, such as Egypt, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, Russia.
