The international studies major embarks on a journey that provides comprehensive understanding of the global system from its cultural context to the role of geo-political and geo-economic forces that determine its nature The course of study is heavily concentrated in the areas of sociology, anthropology, political science, economics, geography, and history. The major is consistent with the mission of the college to promote academic excellence and enhance leadership as well as to help students “to appreciate the many cultures of the world and commit to positive social change.” This charge suggests that students must be encouraged to develop skills to function in a global environment. The core beliefs of the major are: 1. The world is becoming more and more interconnected economically, politically, and socially 2. Fundamental trends in the international community can be understood and anticipated 3. Multiple cultural perspectives should be developed and applied in understanding the international community 4. Non-violent dispute resolution is preferable to the use of force These beliefs presuppose: 1. An appreciation of the role of geography and history in the development of culture 2. A deep and abiding belief in the dignity and worth of every human being 3. Acceptance of the desirability of cultural pluralism in the formulation of political and economic institutions International Studies in a Liberal Arts Context The International Studies Major at Spelman is rigorous and focused. The structural integrity is maintained by an oversight committee composed of the major advisor, the Study Abroad Advisor, Chairs of the departments with core courses in the major, and the Chair of World Languages and Literature. The charge of the committee is to ensure that major courses meet stated goals and objectives. Students are required to select courses in a specific issue area or country area, designated as a “track.” Track selection ensures that students acquire a specialized core of knowledge. The first two courses in the major are interdisciplinary. The pedagogical value of these two courses is two pronged. They enable students to become acquainted with theoretical and conceptual frameworks. At the same time they develop a sense of mission for addressing global problems. 4 In many disciplines preparatory courses must be taken before the student becomes eligible to take courses that interest them. The International Studies major is structured so that students learn concepts and frameworks while taking courses that are germane to their interests. Introductory courses provide an overview of the disciplines included in the major. Students are then equipped to select elective courses to gain in-depth knowledge about a specific issue or geographic area. Major Requirements Students should begin the major in the sophomore year. Courses The major consists of 40 credit hours - 20 hours of core courses designed to introduce the concepts and organizing frameworks and 20 hours of elective courses designed to provide competence in a specific geographic or issue area. The elective courses must all be at the 300 level or above. Courses must be selected from two departments at minimum. Core courses: IS 211, Introduction to International Studies IS 212, World Politics History 303, Foundations of the Modern World Economics 324, Economic Development of Emerging Nations or Economics 424, Globalization and Development IS 411, Senior Thesis. Elective courses: These courses must be chosen from the following issue or geographic area: International Development, Cultural Studies, Latin America, Africa, or Asia. Additional Requirements: Economics 241 and Economics 242, Principles of Macroeconomics and Principles of Microeconomics must be taken as a pre-requisite to Economics 324. Students who take Economics 241 only should take Economics 424. Economics 241 is therefore a cognate course for the major. The course may be used to satisfy the Social Science requirement for the College core. Students interested in admission to upper tier graduate or professional schools in International Studies should take both Economics 241 and Economics 242. The International Studies major should successfully complete at least two courses in a foreign language at or above the 300 level. 5 One semester of Study Abroad is required. It is suggested that International Studies majors go abroad during the first semester of the junior year. Students will receive major credit for two electives taken during Study Abroad. International students may be exempt from the Study Abroad requirement. A grade of C or better is required for the successful completion of major courses. Minor in International Studies Students who wish to minor in international studies will complete the following core courses: IS 211, Introduction to International Studies IS 212, World Politics History 303, Foundations of the Modern World Economics 324, Economic Development of Emerging Nations or Economics 424, Globalization and Development Minors must also complete two major electives selected from one track. Electives should be taken from two disciplines. Minors must successfully complete two courses in a foreign language at or above the 300 level. Study Abroad is encouraged but not required for Minors. Description of Core Courses IS 211, Introduction to International Studies This course provides background information on the disciplines included in international studies as well as an introduction to concepts and frameworks used in the analysis of international phenomena. The goal of the course is to increase the ability of students to integrate disciplinary subject matter. The emphasis is two-fold. The first emphasis is spatial geography. The purpose of this emphasis is to provide tools for addressing issues of power and location, economic development, population density and the biosphere. The second emphasis is cultural pluralism interpreted broadly to include social justice and human rights issues – especially the status of women - as well intercultural communication in the global community. IS 212, World Politics: Pre-requisite IS 211 This course builds on the foundation of “Introduction to International Studies.” It focuses on the institutions for international interaction as well as international events that have shaped the international system. It considers the role and impact of actors in the international arena including national political leaders, international organizations, terrorist groups, ethnic groups, and sub-national actors. 6 History 303, Foundations of the Modern World This course examines the interconnectedness of the world beginning in 1400. Beginning with the commercial revolution and the voyages of discovery, the course moves on to examine the scientific revolution, imperialism, the World Wars and post colonialism. Economics 324, Economic Development of Emerging Nations: Pre- requisite- Economics 241 and 242. This course is a comprehensive study of the characteristics and problems of less developed nations, the theory of economic development, the role of the public and private sectors, strategies of development, and the role of the developed nations. Economics 424, Globalization and Development: Pre-requisite – Economics 241. This course is an in-depth investigation of globalization and development from an interdisciplinary perspective of politics, economics, history, sociology, and philosophy with concern for cross-national, cross-community and cross-gender relations and interactions. IS 411. Senior Thesis This course allows the student an opportunity to use primary research to write a research paper. The emphasis is on the incorporation of different frameworks and perspectives in researching the paper topic. Salient international issues are discussed in the course to further emphasize the significance of theoretical frameworks and concepts. The student is encouraged to conduct primary research during the Study Abroad experience. The research paper is submitted to the instructor followed by an in-class oral presentation. STUDY ABROAD It is suggested that majors study abroad during the first semester of the junior year. Students should have a 3.0 cumulative

    25 UNIVERSITIES WITH GLOBAL STUDIES PROGRAMS OR PROGRAMS OF SIMILAR INTEREST *This list is not meant to be extensive but to provide you with a starting point when exploring your post-secondary options. What is a Global Studies Major? According to the The College Board: “Global studies majors are “global thinkers” in every sense. Drawing from fields as different as geography, music, political science, and ecology, they look at the connections between nations and peoples and the trends that shape our lives. And global studies majors don’t just think on a large scale. They may study how something like climate change can affect hundreds of nations, but they also consider its effects on their own backyard.” Potential Career Paths: Foreign Service/State Department; International business, including working for a domestic American corporation in their international operations, or working for a corporation abroad; Entrepreneurialism; International law; International development and sustainable development; International non-profit work or activism on environment, human rights, social justice, etc.; Journalism and other communications media; Education, especially teaching and administration at the high school level and above.

Its contributors are self-identified neoclassical realists who delineate their version of neoclassical realism (NCR), its scope, object of analysis, and theoretical contribution. From the standpoint of NCR, they contribute to and reflect on the “end of IR theory” debate. NCR has come under criticism for its supposed lack of theoretical structure and alleged disregard for paradigmatic boundaries. This raises questions as to the na- ture of this (theoretical) beast. Is NCR a midrange, progressive research program? Can it formulate a grand theory informed by metatheoretical assumptions? Is it a reformulation of neorealism or classical realism or an eclectic mix of different paradigms? The forum contributors argue that NCR, in different variants, holds considerable promise to investigate for- eign policy, grand strategy and international politics. They interrogate the interaction of international and domestic politics and consider normative implications as well as the sources and cases of NCR beyond the West. In so Meibauer, Gustav et al.

  • Opportunities and Challenges for Political Science Research a Roundtable
    Exploring International Law: Opportunities and Challenges for Political Science Research A Roundtable Charlotte Ku, Paul F. Diehl, Beth A. Simmons, Dorinda G. Dallmeyer, and Harold K. Jacobson Introduction Charlotte Ku etween 1990 and 1999, only one lead article on international law was published in the American Political Science Review. Moreover, fewer Bthan 10 percent of the articles published in the International Studies Quarterly touched on a subject related to international law. In a decade when questions of restructuring world order dominated, why has international law not figured in the search for answers? The short essays that follow explain why and, in doing so, they may point the way to opportunities for political science research. The essays grew out of a roundtable organized for the annual meeting of the American Political Sci- ence Association in 1999. The roundtable was part of a series that the American Society of International Law organized to address issues arising from teaching or researching international law within the framework of political science and international relations. Why does work in international relations and political science, which focuses on problems of systemwide change, compliance, and effectiveness of norms and regulations, ignore international law? The question seems simple for an international lawyer because these issues are at the heart of scholarship in inter- national law. The question recently has become more compelling as those with © 2001 International Studies Association Published by Blackwell Publishers, 350 Main Street, Malden, MA 02148, USA, and 108 Cowley Road, Oxford OX4 1JF, UK. 4 Ku et al. principal training in law discover the value of the method and broad framework of political science.

  • International Studies (INTS) 1
    International Studies (INTS) 1 INTERNATIONAL STUDIES (INTS) INTS 3665 Comparative State Building (4 Credits) Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, countries in East Central Europe have experienced some twenty-five years of fascinating political, economic, and social change as they have tried to rebuild themselves, undergone democratization, and transitioned to a free market. But the legacies of the region’s dramatic and often tragic encounters with war and ideology in the 20th and 19th centuries are still shaping how East Central European societies respond to the new horizons following the collapse of the Soviet bloc. This course is designed as an overview and analysis of the processes of state- building in East Central Europe from the eve of imperial independence in the late 19th century to the present day. We will learn about the condition of the states and nations of East Central Europe before WWI and how they embarked on their nation-building projects after the demise of the foreign empires, the Ottoman, the Austro-Hungarian, and the Russian, that had ruled the region for 500 years. We will then discuss the onset of yet another foreign mode of control – communism – and we will learn how communist reality and Soviet hegemony was lived by the people of Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Serbia, East Germany, Romania, and Bulgaria for over forty years. After the initial wave of optimism after independence, the political chaos and economic backwardness of the interwar period 1918-1939; after the resistance, collaboration and murder of the Second World War; after the terror and senselessness of Stalinism; after the exhilaration and disappointment of the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, of the Prague Spring in 1968, and of Solidarity in Poland in 1981; after the gray monotony of decaying communism and the lonely voices of dissidents, we will come to the triumphant revolutions of 1989 and the challenges of the post-communist transition.
