Purpose

This is a course about contemporary challenges to international public policy. We

explore complex relations among histories, lessons putatively derived from histories,
theory-building and theory-revision, and policy analysis. We begin with short critiques of
histories of our field of International Relations. Next we explore those historical
methods which address the various presentations of the past by historians. After a quick
tour through the contemporary theories of international relations which seem to have
the greatest influence upon policy making, we examine how histories and theories
inform policy processes as leaders attempt to grapple with six remarkable "redirections"
that have taken most policy shapers by surprise:

* Rapid and irregular proliferation of the capacity to build weapons of mass

destruction (as contrasted with once-effective multilateral programs to inhibit the
proliferation of nuclear and other complicated technologies during the Cold War).
* The current near-collapse of the international economic order which, at a minimum,
is pushing the global economy toward a recession serious enough to endanger the post-
WW2 liberal economic order.
* The end of 'globalization' as a political symbol representing material opportunities
for most of the world's people and as a political objective by governments to reduce risks
and to exploit opportunities for social as well as economic gains achievable by realizing
comparative advantages.
* Probable early demise to the superpower status of the United States, with an
immanently violent contest for influence by other states and 'poles'.
* Erosion of the effective content of state "sovereignty" under the quadruple attacks of
the ideology of basic human rights, functional requirements of economic
interpenetration among the G20 nations, endemic regional conflicts which unleash
floods of refugees, and violent programs by non-state groups seeking revolutionary
change.
* Increasing acceptance of the reality and rapidity of worldwide change in the
atmosphere and oceans, due in large measure to patterns of human habitation and
consumption, with effects upon the quality of life that are likely to be mostly harmful.
* Increasing acceptance of the reality and rapidity of the worldwide spread of new
diseases due in some degree to patterns of human habitation and behavior.

The course anticipates your careers as “policy shapers” – persons working to influence
major decisions at critical junctures in a policy making process. The diverse readings
invite you to develop a sophisticated familiarity with the most influential modes of
historical and theoretical analysis. The writing requirements invite you to apply these
modes of analysis to important contemporary issues.

Requirements
 2

One's grade is based upon a maximum of 100 points earned as follows:

1. Participation in all forms of class activity: quality of participation in class discussion,

formal presentations, and service as discussant to presentations. 0-20 points

2. A 'literacy test,' designed to test your comprehension of the principal historiographies

and theories which influence contemporary international practice, will be offered at
Meeting 6. The questions will cover the common readings assigned up to that date.
Twenty-five candidate questions drawn from the common readings and from class
discussion will be announced at Meeting 5: from these 25, three will be randomly drawn
to constitute the test. The test will be scored 0-24 points.

3. Two papers, on items of your choice listed in this syllabus, submitted during meetings
7-14. 0-20 points each. (Presentations in class will accompany submission of a written
report but be graded separately.)

4. Service as a discussant, twice, during weeks 3-5 and 7-14. 0-8 points each.

Two books are available for purchase at Orange Student Bookstore, Marshall Square

Relations, Oxford Clarendon, 1990, chapter 1,3,4.

*Alternative understandings of international relations suggested by the careers of

Diocletian, Tekemthe, Hongi Hika, Gertrude Bell (1) (2) (3)These people must have
understood their respectively contemporary worlds differently from the way that we try
to explain it today. Note how different are our sources for these historical figures.

Theory) -- (1) Political Realism and (2) Liberalism (1: Feb 2; 2 Jan 28)
