Foreign Policy Analysis
FOREIGN POLICY ANALYSIS (listed in catalogue as Theoretical Explanations of Foreign Policy) Pol Sci 530 Jack S. Levy Rutgers University Spring 2014 Hickman 304 848/932-1073 [email protected] http://fas-polisci.rutgers.edu/levy/ Office Hours: after class and by appointment This seminar focuses on how states formulate and implement their foreign policies. Foreign Policy Analysis is a well-defined subfield within the International Relations field, with its own sections in the International Studies Association and American Political Science Association (Foreign Policy Analysis and Foreign Policy, respectively). Our orientation in this course is more theoretical and process-oriented than substantive or interpretive. We focus on policy inputs and the decision-making process rather than on policy outputs. An important assumption underlying this course is that the processes through which foreign policy is made have a considerable impact on the substantive content of policy. We follow a loose a levels-of-analysis framework to organize our survey of the theoretical literature on foreign policy. We examine rational state actor, bureaucratic/ organizational, institutional, societal, and psychological models. We look at the government decision-makers, organizations, political parties, private interests, social groups, and mass publics that have an impact on foreign policy. We analyze the various constraints within which each of these sets of actors must operate, the nature of their interactions with each other and with the society as a whole, and the processes and mechanisms through which they resolve their differences and formulate policy. Although most (but not all) of our reading is written by Americans and although much of it deals primarily with American foreign policy, most of these conceptual frameworks are much more general and not restricted to the United States. -

Dan Wood (Member) December 2004 Major Subject: Political Science iii ABSTRACT Gains and Losses in the Eyes of the Beholder: A Comparative Study of Foreign Policy Decision Making Under Risk. (December 2004) Yi Yang, B.A., Foreign Affairs College Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Alex Mintz Prospect theory is a descriptive model of individual decision-making under risk (Kahneman and Tversky 1979). The central tenet of prospect theory posits that the risk orientation of decision-makers is affected by the gains vs. losses domains in which they are situated. Individuals are predicted to be risk-averse in the domain of gains and risk seeking in the domain of losses. Although prospect theory made significant contributions to decision theory, it has important limitations. Foremost, as noted by Levy (1997a), prospect theory is not a complete theory of decision-making. -
Patrick Thaddeus Was Spread Upon the Permanent Records of the Faculty
At a meeting of the FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES on May 7, 2019, the following tribute to the life and service of the late Patrick Thaddeus was spread upon the permanent records of the Faculty. PATRICK THADDEUS BORN: June 6, 1932 DIED: April 28, 2017 Patrick (“Pat”) Thaddeus, who was a founder of the field of astrochemistry and was largely responsible for recognizing that our galaxy contains a vast number of molecular clouds, died peacefully at home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on April 28, 2017. Pat was born in the utopian village of Arden, Delaware, on June 6, 1932. He was a curious, high-spirited, and mischievous youngster, often suspended from school for truancy. His home life was difficult. His parents divorced when he was seven and his mother took him to Buffalo. Missing his “native land,” he later returned to live with his father in Arden. He fondly recalled befriending German prisoners of war in the mid-1940s as they worked in the nearby fields. Pat graduated from the University of Delaware in 1953 with a degree in physics, then studied theoretical physics as a Fulbright Scholar at Oxford. In 1955 he enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Columbia. For his thesis under the supervision of Charles Townes, Pat measured the transition frequencies of a number of molecules with a maser beam spectrometer that he built. In 1960, he took a research post at Columbia, and he stayed for the next 26 years, rising to adjunct professor while also working as a research physicist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. -

Theories of War and Peace
1 THEORIES OF WAR AND PEACE POLI SCI 631 Rutgers University Fall 2018 Jack S. Levy [email protected] http://fas-polisci.rutgers.edu/levy/ Office Hours: Hickman Hall #304, Tuesday after class and by appointment "War is a matter of vital importance to the State; the province of life or death; the road to survival or ruin. It is mandatory that it be thoroughly studied." Sun Tzu, The Art of War In this seminar we undertake a comprehensive review of the theoretical and empirical literature on interstate war, focusing primarily on the causes of war and the conditions of peace but giving some attention to the conduct and termination of war. We emphasize research in political science but include some coverage of work in other disciplines. We examine the leading theories, their key causal variables, the paths or mechanisms through which those variables lead to war or to peace, and the degree of empirical support for various theories. Our survey includes research utilizing a variety of methodological approaches: qualitative, quantitative, experimental, formal, and experimental. Our primary focus, however, is on the logical coherence and analytic limitations of the theories and the kinds of research designs that might be useful in testing them. The seminar is designed primarily for graduate students who want to understand – and ultimately contribute to – the theoretical and empirical literature in political science on war, peace, and security. Students with different interests and students from other departments can also benefit from the seminar and are also welcome. Ideally, members of the seminar will have some familiarity with basic issues in international relations theory, philosophy of science, research design, and statistical methods. -
Chapter 7. New York City in the 1960S with Great Expectations, I Left Iowa City on Saturday 18 February 1967
Goddard Institute for Space Studies. St. John’s Cathedral is on the right, at the end of 112th Street. Chapter 7. New York City in the 1960s With great expectations, I left Iowa City on Saturday 18 February 1967. On Sunday I checked into the Paris Hotel on 96th Street on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, a large blocky building, past its prime, but inexpensive, so there was no rush to find an apartment. I walked up Broadway to look at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), where I would report the next morning. It is a seven-story building on the northeast corner of 112th Street and Broadway, four short blocks from the center of the Columbia University campus, a walk of just a few minutes. The first floor housed Tom’s Restaurant, whose exterior was featured in the 1990s Seinfeld sitcom. No markings revealed a NASA presence. It was the Vietnam war era, distrust of government was growing, and Columbia students were agitated. A scratchy NASA film, The Universe on a Scratch Pad,1 catches the flavor of 1967 GISS. GISS was just acquiring the fastest computer in the world, the IBM 360/95 for $12 million (equivalent to $100 million today). Only one other 360/95 was built. The GISS version was special, with one million bytes of fast, thin film, memory in addition to four million bytes of core (magnetic donut) memory. The computer took up the entire second floor of the building. GISS attracted some of the best space scientists in the world. Extraordinary NASA support, besides the computer, included about 25 NAS/NRC2 positions and 10 government scientist positions. -
