Catalogue Description Analysis and critique of major theoretical approaches to the study of comparative politics in the developed and the developing worlds. Historical and theoretical foundations of the nation-state; political issues that arise from social change; and approaches to determining the relative autonomy of state institutions. Usually offered in the Fall semester.
Course Approach Comparative politics is often described as the methodological and philosophical core of political science, because it is the method of comparison which makes possible the practice of science, without which the study of governments and political systems is merely descriptive. For this reason the course lays heavy emphasis on the understanding and evaluation of conceptual frameworks for the study of politics, in order to enable the student to achieve the abstract conceptual levels at which fruitful theory is constructed, and fruitful research is formulated.
The course will proceed in roughly chronological order through the contemporary history of the field of comparative politics, including the various struggles that were engendered as comparative politics attempted to bring itself into the modern world, and to make itself useful there. The road begins in early democratic institutional studies, progresses through the behavioral movement and its critical viewpoint on traditional approaches, and concludes in the analysis of the various forms of neo-institutionalism with their focus on the processes by which formal and informal institutions are created, by which they are maintained, and by which they decay, and with current work in respect to the micro-analysis of state-society relations.
The processes of institutionalization--the creation of both informal social and political norms and behaviors as well as the more formal structures usually identified with governments--serves as a coordinating focus for the course. Questions in regard to institutional processes range from the descriptive (what kinds of institutions form the subject of comparative politics?), to the analytic (what is the nature and operation of these institutions?), to the dynamic (how do institutions come into existence, how continue, how collapse?), to the normative (what institutions best serve the interests of individuals, groups and societies?), to the practical (how can institutions be modified, changed, created, improved?).

Course Procedures Because of the amount of material to be covered, and the nature of the skills to be acquired, the course will proceed at two levels. Class sessions will begin in lecture format, with ample time for questions and discussion; and will focus on defining the conceptual frameworks within which comparative politics proceeds. Student papers are designed to give individual participants in the course the opportunities (1) to pursue their own special interests within the field of comparative politics, (2) to develop in depth a better understanding of some of the theories of which comparative politics is comprised, and (3) to integrate theory and the conduct of research.
Course Requirements Two papers will be required during the course. Each will be fifteen to twenty pages in length. The first paper, due 3 March, will be an annotated bibliography of the political science literature relevant to the student’s chosen country (see the specific instructions below). This is in preparation for the second paper, due on 21 April, which will be an analysis of that literature in relation to the major analytic themes of the course. The two papers, a midterm and a final examination will each constitute 25% of the student's final grade.

Academic Integrity Code Standards of academic conduct are set forth in the University's Academic Integrity Code; it is expected that all examinations, tests, papers and other assignments will be completed according to the standards established by this code. By registering, students have acknowledged their awareness of this obligation, and should become familiar with their rights and responsibilities as defined by the code. Violations of the Academic Integrity Code will not be treated lightly, and disciplinary action will be taken should such violations occur. Students with questions in respect to the norms appropriate in a specific case should consult the instructor.
Note: There is a REFERENCE BIBLIOGRAPHY for the course. Because of its length (25 pages) no hard copy is provided. but is available as part of the syllabus posted on Blackboard.
Note: The Department of Government makes available to students a reading list prepared by the Comparative Politics faculty, a set of guidelines for comprehensive examinations, and copies of previous comprehensive examinations. It is premature for students in this course to be concerned with these future matters, but you should be aware that the information is available for you whenever you wish to tackle it. Classics Comparative Politics Spring 2009 Page 5
OUTLINE OF BASIC PROCEDURES FOR THE TWO PAPERS Both papers will be on the same country
1. Pick a country that is of long-term interest to you; this may be different from the country that you know most about, or upon which you have done most previous work. 2. The country you choose should not be the same as a country you may be using for research in another course, since the resultant papers may be too similar to meet the requirement of separate papers handed in for credit in separate courses. In any event, students should not consider this possibility except with the explicit consent of the relevant faculty members.
Paper 1: Annotated Bibliography Due March 3, 2009
3. You will collect two dozen or more books or articles on your country of choice; these will serve as the basis for your second paper. Each item should be of high quality. 4. Your major focus is on scholarly literature which centers on theoretic, conceptual, or methodological approaches to the country you have chosen. Chilcote and other survey works are your guide to what constitutes quality theoretical or conceptual work in the comparative politics field.
5. Your best criterion for selecting work is whether it appears in the major political science journals: American Political Science Review, Perspectives on Politics, American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Comparative Politics, Comparative Political Studies. Minor and Regional journals are acceptable, but must be restricted to those that involve theoretical, conceptual or methodological articles. ‘Opinion’ oriented journals are generally unacceptable and should be avoided. Scholarly books are acceptable, as long as they have a theoretical/methodological component; journal articles are safer. Literature from major social science journals is also acceptable, if directly relevant to your topic, and if it includes theoretic or conceptual approaches. 6. Your procedure will be: (1) utilize various search engines and strategies to collect items on your topic country; this may include physical search of shelves as well as electronic methods; (2) skim the articles to evaluate their quality and the methods and issues they involve; (3) extend your search for greater variety, if initial efforts do not include difference, or for greater depth of treatment where that seems lacking. In compiling your bibliography for Paper 1, it is often useful to pay especial attention to footnotes in your literature sources; these will indicate other articles the authors consider relevant and which you may wish to include. 7. Special attention in this line can be directed to ‘foundation’ works in the study of a particular country or region, where books or articles in the sometimes distant past are cited by many current authors as influential on their own work. Works which are important but not foundational may be included as ‘milestone’ works, that were important in influencing how scholarship changed and developed over the years.
8. For each item you decide to include, you will present the following materials, with the entries listed alphabetically by author: Author, Title, Journal/volume/number/date, or book publisher/date. An analytic summary of roughly 100-250 words, emphasizing Approach used; describe briefly what the approach is and how this approach is used; Method, whether qualitative or quantitative; specific type; Research question(s) asked; description of data and its sources; Author’s results, conclusions or summary; Your scholarly/academic comment on the quality of article or book. Note that if this outline does not fit the item, you need to question the relevance of the item. Classics Comparative Politics Spring 2009 Page 6
Paper 2: Analysis of the Literature Due 31 April 2009
9. Your purpose is to present a coherent, well-integrated, in-depth analysis of the scholarly literature on your topic country, from a theoretical/conceptual perspective utilizing the works listed in your annotated bibliography and the required readings included in the course. (More works may be added at this point.) 10. Remember the assignment is an analysis of the literature about the country, not an essay about the country itself; in other words, you are studying a body of literature, not the real world.
11. Your procedure will involve breaking your sources into methodological groups, and describing in detail their analytic differences, similarities, and their methodological and substantive conclusions. You will also compare and contrast different nuances within schools, as well as differences between conceptually- defined groups of scholars. Remember your organization of material should be based on theoretical classifications (type of theory) not substance (type of problem or policy).
12. Attention should be given to the logic of inquiry, to research coherence and effectiveness. 13. The research studies you utilize should be evaluated for inherent strengths and weaknesses, and the best work selected for further, deeper analysis. 14. You are entitled to personal evaluation, note, but it must be at the intellectual level of discourse. 15. A concluding section, which will form a major element of the paper, will discuss the issue of what the literature on your country teaches you about the uses and roles of theory in comparative politics; and about the possibilities of objectivity in scientific research. 16. You may also wish to evaluate the type of questions being asked by scholars on your topic country, whether you believe these are the right questions, and whether they are being answered. 17. When you have finished writing the paper, go back and write an introduction telling the reader what to expect, highlighting interesting findings, and summarizing conclusions.
18. In practical terms, consider the following guidelines: begin by reading your sources thoroughly, several times, and making detailed notes.; track down and read as much as you can of the books and articles included in their footnotes; make notes, and read other works by your authors, where available, for insights into their commitments and methods; re-read Chilcote and scan ahead into Lichbach-Zuckerman to fill out your appreciation of the possible types of theory; read ahead in other readings required for this course to get a feel for their approaches; wrestle with this pile of material until it begins to take on shape. You may want to write the paper piecemeal rather than sequentially, and then go back later and put the separate parts into good order. it should be presented finally in logical/rational order, firmly organized. Beware of stream of- consciousness writing, which is the mark of first drafts but should always be removed in the final product.
19. When you have the parts in order go back and write a descriptive introduction, including (1) where your literature fits within comparative politics as a whole; (2) what constitute the major dimensions of your literature, what minor; (3) briefly illustrate each, with citations and explanatory details. The elements of the paper will include an introduction, followed by a discussion at several levels, from broad structural points to depth analysis of individual sub-areas of your literature, and a general process of comparing, contrasting, explicating.
20. Conclude with an evaluation of the literature, of theory, of the role of theory in comparative politics.
21. The primary criteria for evaluating both assignments are: (1) thoroughness in collection and analysis, (2) felicitous organization of the analysis and presentation, and (3) conceptual clarity.
