International Political Economy

Description

This seminar is intended to provide a systematic introduction to the political economy of international relations. Readings and writing assignments are designed to explore the usefulness of alternative analytical and theoretical perspectives in addressing the central questions of actor behavior and system governance in the world economy. The aim throughout the course is to encourage students to read and think critically when addressing the literature of International Political Economy.

Students should be aware that there are many versions of the field of study variously known as International Political Economy (IPE) or Global Political Economy (GPE). In this seminar we concentrate primarily on the version of the field that has developed as a sub-specialty of the discipline of political science in the United States – now typically referred to as the American school of IPE. Other versions of the field are explored in a companion seminar, PS 270, which is offered at another time. PS 270 will not be offered in 2020-2021.

Readings

There is no single textbook for this seminar. Rather, readings are assigned from a variety of published or unpublished sources. For each week, readings are divided into two groups. The first group each week is required and can be accessed via GauchoSpace. These readings are by no mean comprehensive but may be regarded as representative of broader themes in the literature. The second group identifies additional readings that are recommended if you wish to pursue selected topics in greater detail.

Course procedures

Because of COVID-19, this seminar will be taught entirely online. Classes will be held weekly at the assigned time (Tuesday, 9:30-12:20 Pacific Time), but all sessions will be virtual, using Zoom. For more information, see the seminar site on GauchoSpace.

Course requirements

Students will be required to attend all sessions of the seminar, to do all the reading for each week as assigned, and to participate fully and constructively in class discussions. Any absence must be justified by a valid excuse.

In addition, students will be required to write three (3) brief critical reviews of selections of the assigned readings, as follows:

Paper no. 1. A review of the readings assigned for one of the following two weeks: October 13 or October 20. Due October 27.

Paper no. 2. A review of the readings assigned for one of the following three weeks: October 27, November 3, or November 10. Due November 17.

Paper no. 3. A review of the readings assigned for one of the following four weeks: November 17, November 24, December 1, or December 10. Due December 15.

Each of the three papers should be at least 5 pages in length (double-spaced) but no longer than 10-12 pages In each paper, you will be expected to identify three or more common themes in the assigned readings and compare and evaluate what the readings have to say on each theme. The themes do not need to be addressed by every one of the week's assigned readings but, in each case, should be addressed by a minimum of two of the readings. The choice of themes is up to you. Themes may be as broad as (e.g.) the overall role of interests, institutions or ideas in shaping some form of state behavior or as narrow as (e.g.) the specification of a single variable or issue.

The aim of each paper is to help develop your ability to read critically. The format is comparative analysis, not mere description. The emphasis is on reasoned judgment. It is not enough simply to recapitulate what each reading has to say about a given theme. You must compare and contrast what they have to say, evaluating strengths and weaknesses, and offer some conclusion of your own. What do we learn about each theme from the readings? Which reading or readings seem to provide the best insight? What remains to be learned?

Thus each paper should include the following:

– A very brief summary of each selected reading, with an emphasis on key arguments and conclusions. Avoid excessive detail. Stick to the main points.

– A brief summary of each common theme to be discussed in your paper. What are the issues involved and why are they important?

– A comparative evaluation of what the selections have to say about each theme. What do we learn from these discussions, and what remains to be learned?

For students inspired to read beyond the sample of writings assigned or suggested for this course, most of which are quite recent in origin, a number of classics in the US version of the field of International Political Economy may be recommended, as follows:
