Course aims and objectives The state and the market represent two different approaches to organising human behaviour, and the relationship between them has always affected the conduct of public policy. A key theme of the course is the way in which states manage their economic development within an international context increasingly characterised by patterns of globalisation. While globalisation may enhance a nation’s economic prosperity, it also has implications for the ability of national governments to autonomously pursue economic, social, and environmental objectives. Case studies examine how the pursuit of economic development goals can conflict with wider policy objectives in the energy, environmental, trade, and social policy areas.

By the end of the course, students should be able to: appreciate the evolution of the state- economy relationship: understand the role of government in managing the economy; understand and critique the challenges posed by globalisation to national and economic development; show to what extent states can autonomously pursue their public policy goals in the era of globalisation.

Key Text(s) and recommended readings The suggested textbooks and readings for the course are:

• David Held and Anthony McGrew, The Global Transformations Reader: An Introduction to the Globalization Debate, (Polity Press, Cambridge, UK, 2003). • Christopher Pierson, The Modern State, (Routledge, London, 2004). • The PUBL 408 / POLS 436 Coursebook which contains a set of core readings.

Other useful readings may be distributed in class from time to time.

The readings required for seminar topics are set out below – these are available in the PUBL 408 / POLS 436 Coursebook.

However, you should not rely solely on the recommended texts or readings to write your research essay or prepare for the final exam. You are expected to show familiarity with the wider literature and demonstrate your ability to independently research topics by using the electronic databases and relevant journals.

Assessment

The course will be assessed on a combination of: in-term work (60%); a final examination (40%).

In-term work (60%) consisting of: • Seminar participation and two presentations (20% of the final grade) • Essay One (due 9 June) – an essay of about 5000 words selected from one of the essay questions – see separate list, (20% of the final grade) • Essay Two (due 5 October) – a research essay of about 5000 words based on a topic of your choice but associated with the seminar topics, (20% of the final grade)

Final exam There will be a final three-hour, closed-book examination (40% of the final grade). Students will be required to answer three essay-type questions (worth equal marks). The exam period runs from about 19 October – 10 November 2007.

The University has a policy of reasonable accommodation of the needs of students with disabilities in examinations and other assessment procedures. Students are advised to speak to the course coordinator or disabilities liaison person in their school/department.

Relationship between assessment and course objectives This course aims to develop your ability to think critically, to develop your research and analysis skills, and to achieve a high level of ability in written presentation. The seminar presentations provide opportunities for students to critically engage with a body of academic knowledge, to engage intellectually with fellow students and to present material in an accessible and informative manner. The research essays enable students to demonstrate ability in independent research, to gain in-depth knowledge of particular aspects of the course material, and to show skills in analysis and written presentation. The final examination allows students to display their understanding of the wider course content by applying course concepts and theories, organisation of material, and logical and coherent arguments in their answers.

Course workloads and mandatory course requirements The workload of the paper is estimated at 12 hours per week, which includes class contact hours (2 hours per week), seminar preparation, and essay development. Attendance at lectures and tutorials is “regarded as necessary to the satisfactory completion of any course of study” (University Calendar). Your attendance also helps to develop and stimulate your areas of interest, it develops your confidence in expressing your ideas, and encourages an appreciation and respect for the views of others.

In order to pass PUBL 408/POLS 436 students must:

i) attend at least 75 percent of the weekly seminar presentations; ii) participate in leading the seminar discussion of readings; iii) give two oral seminar presentations; iv) complete and submit two pieces of written work; v) sit the final examination; vi) obtain an overall course mark of at least 50 percent.
