Africa is a complex and diverse continent consisting of more than 50 sovereign countries. In this course, we will study Africa’s varied political systems and institutions, examining the themes that characterize its modern political landscape. Why is democracy flourishing in some African countries while others remain autocratic? Why do some African states experience civil war and not others? Why are some countries poorer than others? We will make inroads in assessing the state of scholarship on these questions and more, and you should leave this course with a familiarity of the modern study of African politics.

| Special Topics: Research Preparation Seminar: Conditions of Statelessness - 24142 - POLS 3520 - 701 | ||||||||||||||
|
This course examines the condition of statelessness beginning with an exploration of the history and concepts of nationality, belonging, and statelessness. We will discuss the creation of stateless as a legal category and as a political tool that tries to reify a clear distinction between statelessness and citizenship when in reality, a fluid continuum between statelessness and citizenship exists. We will investigate that continuum over the course of the semester, looking into the long-term legacy of statelessness for individuals, institutions, and societies. In applying theories of citizenship and belonging to understand the spectrum of statelessness, we will explore questions of what it means to be stateless, what the relationship between statelessness and forced migration is, what protections exist for stateless peoples, and how to address the problem of arbitrary deprivation of nationality. Additionally, we will explore the effectiveness of projects like the UNHCR’s statelessness mandate and #ibelongcampaign.

CL: ASST 3000 (801). This course is about the government and politics in South Korea. We will first take a look at the historical processes from the liberation and division of the Korean peninsula to the democratization and economic development of the South Korea and nuclear and economic challenges of North Korea. We will then survey the political institutions and groups that shape politics and policy making in South Korea. We will analyze how mechanisms of delegation, representation, and accountability work, and what authorities and constraints decision makers possess and face. We will also analyze the politics and political economy of policy reforms by focusing on several areas of policy making. Lastly, we will look at the current state and prospects of Japan-Korea relations with a special attention to the ways in which history and present-day political institutions shape the incentives and thus, behaviors of the major decision makers in each of the respective countries.
