Cultural Democratization, East and West: How People Around the World View Democracy
Cultural Democratization, East and West: How People around the World View Democracy Since the fall of the Berlin Wall more than two decades ago, numerous public opinion surveys have been conducted to monitor and compare how ordinary citizenries have reacted to the democratization taking place around them. These surveys have revealed that a large majority of the global mass publics sees democracy as valuable and prefers it to autocratic regimes. On the basis of their findings, an increasing number of scholars and policymakers have recently begun to advocate the thesis that the entire world is becoming democratic. This course is designed to evaluate this thesis of global democratization by analyzing and comparing citizen views of democracy across regions in democratic transitions, including Africa, the Middle East, East Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Conceptually, the course builds on the notion that democratization is a dynamic phenomenon that has multiple dimensions and levels, and takes place in individual citizens and their political institutions. Theoretically, it is grounded in the perspective that to operate properly, a democratic political system requires “software” congruent with the various components of its institutional hardware, and citizen orientations to democracy and their favorable reactions to its institutions are key components of the software required for democracy to work. Objectives: I have three objectives in teaching this course. The first is to review recent developments in the study of democratic culture. The second is to introduce regional and global public opinion surveys recently conducted to monitor citizen reactions to democratization. The third is to encourage students to develop the skills of evaluating theoretical and empirical claims. -

Rewriting the Epic of America
One Rewriting the Epic of America IRA KATZNELSON “Is the traditional distinction between international relations and domes- tic politics dead?” Peter Gourevitch inquired at the start of his seminal 1978 article, “The Second Image Reversed.” His diagnosis—“perhaps”—was mo- tivated by the observation that while “we all understand that international politics and domestic structures affect each other,” the terms of trade across the domestic and international relations divide had been uneven: “reason- ing from international system to domestic structure” had been downplayed. Gourevitch’s review of the literature demonstrated that long-standing efforts by international relations scholars to trace the domestic roots of foreign pol- icy to the interplay of group interests, class dynamics, or national goals1 had not been matched by scholarship analyzing how domestic “structure itself derives from the exigencies of the international system.”2 Gourevitch counseled scholars to turn their attention to the international system as a cause as well as a consequence of domestic politics. He also cautioned that this reversal of the causal arrow must recognize that interna- tional forces exert pressures rather than determine outcomes. “The interna- tional system, be it in an economic or politico-military form, is underdeter- mining. The environment may exert strong pulls but short of actual occupation, some leeway in the response to that environment remains.”3 A decade later, Robert Putnam turned to two-level games to transcend the question as to “whether -

Reform and Responsibility — the Climate of History in Times of Transformation Aalborg Nordic History Congress, Keynote 17 August 2017

Professor ved Avdelningen för historiska studier av teknik, vetenskap och miljö, Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, Stockholm. [email protected] Dear colleagues, students, friends! It is a great pleasure to see you all here, a distinguished audience of Nordic historians, hono- ring this hour with your presence. For me it is a privilege. This is a congress I hold dear. In times when international conferences have grown in size and numbers I have always thought it is immensely valuable to keep the Nordic community of historians alive and well, not for nostalgic reasons but because “Nordic” is an appropriate level of focus and analysis. Shortly before traveling here I finished the concluding chapter for a book with a Nor- wegian publisher on the tradition of Folkeopplysning in the Nordic countries since the 17th century.1 One of my ongoing papers right now is an analysis of the influence in our region of the famous Berkeley historian of science, environment and feminism, Carolyn Merchant.2 Other contributors to that book write of other themes, I write of the Nordic countries. I can swear she had some influence since I took a PhD course for her at Umeå University in 1984, but I am confident there is more…! Nordic is real. -
Core Ph.D. Seminar in International Politics, POL2200Y
SYLLABUS #6 - www.homerdixon.com POL 2200Y Core Course in International Politics Wednesday 2-4, UC 177 2003-2004 Professors Henry Farrell and Tad Homer-Dixon Professor Henry Farrell Department of Political Science Room 3040, 100, St. George Street. Phone: 416 595 9726 Email: [email protected] www.henryfarrell.net Professor Tad Homer-Dixon Centre for the Study of Peace & Conflict Room H-13 University College, 15 King’s College Circle Phone: 416-978-2486 E-mail: [email protected] www.homerdixon.com Course Overview As the core course in international politics, POL2200Y covers the major approaches to understanding international relations and foreign policy. It is a course designed for doctoral students that focuses on the construction and evaluation of theory. It has three purposes: to provide a thorough grounding in the "great literatures" of international relations and their application to current debates; to develop students’ ability to assess these literatures critically; and to help students refine the theoretical foundations of their subsequent dissertations. All students must come to class each week having read, carefully considered, and critically evaluated the material on the reading list. Some of it will be familiar to you from your previous work; much of it will be new. The material is difficult and demanding. If you have a heavy workload already, it is unlikely that you will find this course manageable. Course Requirements 1. Weekly one-page summaries of readings: 25 percent (evaluated once per semester; i.e., 12.5 percent x 2). • Summaries are to be distributed to all students by Monday (4 p.m.) prior to the class where the read ing will be covered. -

Historians' Orientations and Historical Production
Kasvatus & Aika 5 (1) 2011, 7–18 Mapping historians: historians' orientations and historical production Lisa Muszynski and Jyrki Reunamo Narrative historians have long exhibited greater or lesser awareness of their own agency as authors, where absolute objectivity is precluded. Indeed, historians' reports of the past include their own orientations or attitudes, which can also be examined in historians' autobiographies. In this article we present a study in which a questionnaire was used to ask historians about their orientations toward their subject matter. How do historians approach their work as agents and what might this reveal about the nature of historical production? In our model, we have distin- guished four criteria, sorted the answers using statistical analysis and weighed the results in the light of our expectations. Indeed, by exploring historians' presupposi- tions (exemplified in examining historians' autobiographies), historical production can be seen as an institutional process also steered by historians' orientations and agency with important philosophical implications for the integral relationship between historians' public and private roles. Introduction The reflexive questions concerning the historian's task, as presented in the questionnaire that serves as the basis of our study, is an approach designed to capture a particular matrix of historians' orientations and attitudes that serves to open up a tacit dimension in the pro- duction of history by the "historian as agent" (cf. Polanyi 2009 [1966]). In this article, -
Theory and Method Conceptual History
Helge Jordheim, University of Oslo To be published in Bloomsbury History: Theory and Method Conceptual History [9,000 – 10,000 words] 1. Introduction (c.500 words): w/ any basic definitions clarified At the most basic level, conceptual history is the history of words. These words, called “concepts” are of a specific kind, semantically richer, more ambiguous and thus more contested than those tasked with naming specific things in the physical world. The phrase itself is easily misunderstood, like other subgenres of historiography labelled in similar way. Just as there is nothing specifically “cultural” about cultural history, there is nothing particularly “conceptual” about “conceptual history” either. A more precise name would be “the history of concepts”, since “concepts” refer to the object of study rather than a carefully crafted analytics. Furthermore, many will consider “conceptual history” to be the translation of the German Begriffsgeschichte, which is also clearly the dominant tradition in the field, although by no means the only one. Thus, conceptual history has at least two meanings: in a more general sense, it studies how people have used words in changing historical contexts, with what meaning and purpose, drawing on a wide range of traditions, theories and methods, from etymology to text-mining; in a more specific sense, it refers to a set of theories and methods originating in post-war Germany at the interface between social history and intellectual history, and between hermeneutics and historicism, as well as to its main founder Reinhart Koselleck and the most decisive scholarly manifestation, the eight- volume lexicon Geschichtliche Grundbegriffe, published between 1972 and 1992. -

AMBIVALENCE, ANXIETIES / ADAPTATIONS, ADVANCES: CONCEPTUAL HISTORY AND INTERNATIONAL LAW MARTIN CLARK* Scholars of the history of international law have recently begun to wonder whether their work is predominantly about law or history. The questions we ask — about materials, contexts and movements — all raise intractable problems of historiography. And yet despite this extensive and appropriate questioning within the field, and its general inclination towards theory and theorising, few scholars have turned to the vast expanses of historical theory to try to think through how we might go about addressing them.
