3 Studies in English at Collegium Civitas

Collegium Civitas is an independent university located at the heart of Warsaw, the Polish capital. It is a growing institution of higher education which has been ranked as one of the best in the country for the last eight years. It is a university which champions an interdisciplinary approach to study programs and which offers courses both in Polish and English.

Collegium Civitas is proud of its lecturers and visiting professors who maintain a highly professional level of instruction, whilst encouraging and supervising students’ individual work on specific topics. The University also takes pride in its vibrant student community and supports numerous student initiatives. The Rector, President and Vice-Rectors of Collegium Civitas clearly recognize that the most valuable assets of the University are its lecturers and students, and they promote the creative atmosphere of rewarding contact between those who teach and those who study. This atmosphere is facilitated by the dedicated work of administrative officers, whose daily efforts are appreciated by all.

The courses in English held at Collegium Civitas are not a gratuitous tribute to recent fashion or simply a translated analogue of the courses taught in Polish. For the last eight years they have constituted a separate track of study, on which students not only forge their communicative skills in English - thus becoming fully prepared to undertake careers within international organizations and enterprises - but also acquire special knowledge on distinctive subjects from experts at the frontline of theoretical and experimental research in social and political sciences and international relations.

Studies in English at Collegium Civitas are comprised of two departments: the Department of International Relations and the Department of Political Science. The latter offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Political Science and in Public Administration. Since both Political Science and Public Administration are chosen mostly be Polish candidates, these programs also include courses held in Polish. Prospective students from abroad predominantly opt for BA, MA or PhD programs in International Relations. Thus, all courses offered within these programs are in English.

The faculty of the Department of International Relations embrace lecturers and researchers who are the University’s employees, as well as those who work at the Polish Academy of Sciences. The Department also attracts visiting professors from different universities, located from Japan to the United States. It pursues two primary goals in the creation of its study programs and curricula: to provide solid and comprehensive education in a given field or specialization (like European Union, Diplomacy or Strategic studies) and to ensure that students are made conversant with the most topical and significant issues of the modern world.

Upon being accepted as a student by Collegium Civitas, one will be required to earn 180 credit points (ECTS) if she is a student of the First Cycle (i.e. enrolled on the 3-year BA degree program in International Relations) or 120 credits points (ECTS) if she is a student of the Second Cycle (i.e. enrolled on the 2-year MA degree program in International Relations).

4 All courses held within the Department of International Relations fall into two groups: obligatory and elective . The obligatory courses are usually introductory courses (especially during the first year of study), basic courses, and advanced and specialist courses. As a rule, they earn 3 ECTS. Among elective courses there are the so-called style courses that teach music, theater, dance, communication, history of art, etc. While the elective courses usually earn 4 ECTS, the style ones are worth 2 ECTS (generally, 2 ECTS points are equal to 1 US credit).

The duration of an average course is thirty academic hours, resulting in classes being held once a week for two hours during any given semester. There are an increasing, albeit still small, number of 15-hour courses, which run over half a semester. These earn 2 ECTS points.

Apart from the obligatory and elective courses, there are also language courses worth two credit points each (students may choose from among 6 foreign languages, Polish as a Foreign language is also offered). Physical education is mandatory during the second year of BA studies and it earns two credit points. The writing and submitting of either a BA or MA thesis provide a student with additional credit points, 10 or 20 respectively. Within one semester a student is required to collect a minimum of 27 and maximum of 33 credit points.

Below is a list of obligatory and elective (including style) courses which are held by the Departments of International Relations in the 2010/2011 academic year as well as the obligatory courses and some elective ones are to be offered in the 2011/2012 academic year.

The list of obligatory and elective courses below is not meant to intimidate potential students, but rather to attract and engage them. We hope that by reading the titles of courses offered by Collegium Civitas our future students come to the conclusion which we have long entertained: years spent at Collegium Civitas will be fascinating, educationally rewarding, full of opportunities to meet interesting people, and invaluable to the future life and career plans of our students.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS (in alphabetical order)

one semester 2010/2011 seminar African Countries in Contemporary World academic year: fall (30h) semester Emmy Irobi, PhD elective ECTS: 4

This course is designed to introduce students to the basic concepts and arguments in the study of contemporary African political issues. The scope of the course covers but is not limited to legacies of colonialism. For the benefits of International Relations students the course includes the important aspects of new state formation, and the themes related to economy, democratization, poverty and foreign policy issues. At the end of the course students will be familiar with the major policy problems and challenges facing the countries in Africa. They will be able to connect these real-life challenges to the theoretical findings in the International Relations literature.

Grading and Requirements: final grades will depend on students’ active participation, together with one presentation (15 minutes): 50%, and on the quality of a term paper (up to 2,500 words): 50% .

one semester 2010/2011 seminar America: a Multicultural Society academic year: (30h) spring semester elective Joanna Jastrz ębska-Szklarska ECTS: 4

The class will be devoted to the study of social and cultural interactions in the American society. Based on the recent census and statistical data we shall examine the tendencies in social and spatial mobility, cultural conflict and consensus, and migrations. We will also analyze how the multiethnic fabric of American society is evolving given the recent tendencies in immigration. Our principal focus will be on the Native Americans, Hispanic, Asian, and African-American minorities and their relations with the white majority. We shall also explore the relations within each group. In general, the course should provide students with the awareness of how the demographical changes in the American society affect its social stratification and ethnic composition and impact on the continuous search for identity – the crucial issue in American studies.

Grading and Requirements: the final grade from the seminar will be decided on the basis of a written paper and an exam at the end of the seminar, and an assessment of participation during the seminar.

one semester 2010/2011 seminar Central Europe during World War I academic year: (15h) spring semester Professor Robert Blobaum elective ECTS: 2

The literature on the First World War in Central and Eastern Europe has focused primarily on its military, political and diplomatic aspects, as part of larger European narratives of the toppling of empires or more particular national narratives of the imminent recovery, establishment, or consolidation of independent nation-

9 states. While these narratives will serve as important background for this course, students will be asked to engage mainly in comparative analysis of the war’s larger socio-economic issues and impacts in Central and Eastern Europe. Consequently, we will explore the consequences of the military mobilization of the male population and the feminization of the labor force and urban populations more generally. We will look at the effects of the war on local economies, and the resulting food and energy crises. We will examine the large populations of refugees and evacuees, as well as their destabilizing social and economic impacts. We will analyze how the war adversely affected relations between religious and national groups in the region. We will discuss how public policy, through the expansion of welfare-dependent populations and rising social transfer payments, was transformed by the demands of total war. We will assess the demographic consequences of the war due to significantly increased human vulnerability to infectious diseases, the rise in mortality rates, and the decline in fertility and birth rates. Finally, we will consider the long-term effects of the war on the political stability of interwar states of Central and Eastern Europe.

Grading and Requirements: based on a series of lectures and recommended readings, students will be required to write a paper of 10-15 pages in which they research and analyze one of these major “home front” themes for at least two locations in Central and Eastern Europe (for example, Budapest and Warsaw). The evaluation of this paper will then form the basis for the final grade

The students will gain the awareness of American values and how they translate into legal interpretations. We will discuss citizens’ rights to property, freedom of speech and religion, as well as minority rights. Finally, students should get a better understanding of the vision of society which depends on various interpretations of the Constitution.

Grading and Requirements : the final grade will be based on the results of the mid-term and final tests. Extra credits will be awarded for contribution to class discussions.

one semester 2011/2012 workshop Communication Workshop academic year: fall (30h) semester Dominika Staniewicz elective/style ECTS: 2

The workshop aims at providing students with the ability to give speeches in public, to present ones opinion in work environment without using improper sounds like “yyyyy”, “aaa”, “am” ect.

one semester 2011/2012 seminar Comparative Economies of Western Europe academic year: fall (15h) semester Jacek Rosa, PhD elective ECTS: 2

The course will aim at introducing students to contemporary debates on European macroeconomic arrangements. In particular, we will try to ascertain whether a macroeconomic model characterized by a smaller social burden and a more flexible approach in economy has any advantages over a model based on a rigid social market economy. We will also concentrate on the following questions: What policies and developments have provoked changes in social and economic life in Europe? What are the shortcomings of European economies? Special attention will be devoted to comparison of the so-called cohesion countries.

Grading and Requirements: grading is based on class participation (40%) and the final test (60%).

one semester 2010/2011 academic lecture Comparative Legal Traditions year (30h) Professor Hubert Izdebski, LL.D. elective ECTS: 4

The course aims to develop knowledge of the different legal traditions which exist in the world and which are integral parts of every civilization. During the lectures students will be initiated into a comparative approach combining legal studies with a socio-cultural perspective. On successful completion of this course students should, therefore, be able to compare different legal systems as well as examine law as a cultural phenomenon. Students should also be able to demonstrate an understanding of the most relevant aspects of the co-existence of diverse legal traditions. In the contemporary world, regional legal traditions and cultures, as shaped by historical processes, remain the basis for national legal systems despite the continuing standardization in the domain of public, international and private law. The course will focus respectively on the similarities and differences between the most significant traditions and cultures. It will start by discussing the role of law in Euro-Atlantic civilization and by presenting traditions and families of law in their historical development. The diversity of legal traditions will be explained in the context of the diversity of civilizations. A considerable part of the course will be devoted to problems relating to comparative law and its tendencies. Initially, the historical foundations, the structure of law and sources of law as basic aspects of each legal tradition will be discussed. The second part of the course will deal mostly with the differentiation of legal traditions within the Euro-Atlantic civilization in comparison with traditions such as Muslim, Indian and Far Eastern. The topics to be taught in this part will be the following: the Romano-Germanic tradition and Common Law tradition (and the specificity of law in the USA); mechanisms of adaptation to overseas legal traditions as well as the modernization and migration of regional legal traditions. The course will end by highlighting the problem of further development of international law and of the regional legal traditions in the context of globalization. Grading and Requirements: the examination will take place at the end of the semester and will be oral (100% of the final grade).

11 one semester 2011/2012 academic seminar Comparative Politics year: fall semester (30h) obligatory (BA) Professor Bohdan Szklarski ECTS: 3

By analyzing the most typical political systems in the modern world, students will be able to understand the forces which make them distinct. Liberal democracy: with presidential, parliamentary, and semi-presidential variations; fundamentalist theocracy; and various forms of authoritarianism are only basic institutional designs which assume their specific character when driven by the internal forces of political culture or by external pressures. Even though a good deal of readings will be devoted to specific systems in action: the United States, Great Britain, France, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Iran, China, Russia, Israel, India or Japan, we will not lose sight of the theoretical aspects of a comparative study of political systems. In order to do so, students will examine the historical and social roots of political diversity and its manifestations in party systems, state-society relations, civil rights, the relations between the economy and politics, recruitment of political elites and the role of the judiciary. During classes, students will pay closer attention to the skills of comparative analysis and to sensitivity to political diversity than to the presentation of facts about particular systems, which will be done individually. By the end of the course students are expected not only to master factual knowledge about various institutional designs but also to understand the dynamics which drives them.

Grading and Requirements: the mid-term written exam (50%) (last class in December just before the Christmas Break); two term papers/projects (20% of the grade each); participation in class discussions and perfect attendance (10%).

As European integration goes on it is more and more clear that integrated Europe will remain nationally structured. Moreover, there are signs of an increased nationalism in different parts of Europe. At the same time, however, it is quite correct to assume that the process of integration is affecting the very nature of the phenomenon of nationalism. Also, we cannot exclude the possibility that in a long run something like a European nation may emerge. The chances of developing a European demos have been already analyzed in writings of some political scientists. The seminar will concentrate on main questions regarding the issue of nationalism in integrating Europe. We will study theories of nationalism and the most recent ideas regarding the problem of nationalism in the context of European integration. The starting point for seminar debates will be three, most influential modern theories of nationalism of Karl W. Deutsch, Ernest Gelner and Benedict Anderson. Other readings will include the texts on the development of the European identity, the concept of constitutional patriotism and discussions about possibility of developing European demos.

Grading and Requirements : grading will be determined on the basis of the student’s participation in discussions and class presentation.
