THE UNIT This unit aims to introduce you to thinking about world politics. It examines the ways in which we seek to interpret, explain and understand world politics, the systems, institutions and processes that are said to govern world politics and the beliefs and values that are held to be important in world politics. It assesses a selection of themes and issues in world politics followed by engagement with the main broad categories of theorising about world politics. The unit is not aimed at ensuring that you adopt a particular representation of world politics and the international system. Nor do I do not want you to take at face value what you read in academic texts or hear, see or read in the news media. Instead, I want you to uncover the unstated assumptions behind the framings of questions and texts, to consider what questions are left unasked and what frames have not been used. Overall, I want you to be better prepared as a citizen to understand the workings of world politics and the international system. It is important to me that what we study in the unit is seen by you to have relevance to what is going on in the world. METHODS The following methods will be used:
· Essays.
· Lectures.
· Listening and speaking in discussion.
OBJECTIVES
· To provide an introduction to various issues in and explanations of world politics.
· To consider the implications of the various explanations of world politics.
· To explore the claims of international relations (IR) theory in terms of being descriptive (claiming to tell us how the world is), explanatory (claiming to tell us why the world is as it is), prescriptive (claiming to tell us how the world should be), predictive (claiming to tell us how the world will be) and constitutive (claiming to tell us how the theory shapes the way the world is).
LEARNING OUTCOMES
· Knowledge of different perspectives on world politics.
· Ability to understand various meanings of a range of relevant issues, concepts and related theories, in particular the arms trade; economic sanctions; military intervention and humanitarianism; the United States in world politics; poverty, inequality and the environment; and multiple realist, liberal, materialist and constructivist perspectives on world politics.
· Knowledge of some of the contemporary historical dimensions of world politics.
· Ability to integrate theoretical and empirical materials.
· Ability to make articulate, concise, persuasive and well-paced presentations in small groups.
· Ability to write articulately, concisely and persuasively.
· Ability to engage in constructive discussion.
· Ability to absorb material through lectures.
TEACHING ARRANGEMENTS
(A) Lectures
There is one lecture per week for weeks 1-10. Weeks 11 and 12 are left clear for you to concentrate on your assessed essay. Time and place for the lectures will be on the first year noticeboard. At each lecture you will be given a handout containing my PowerPoint slides for the lecture. The handouts are no substitute for attendance at the lectures, as the lectures will contextualise and elaborate upon the handouts. You ought to bring the relevant handout each week to the seminar. If you lose the handout, you may print another one out from the relevant part of the Department of Politics website, accessible via Blackboard. The handouts will be posted to Blackboard shortly after the lecture.
(B) Seminars
There will be 50-minute compulsory seminars each week for weeks 1-10 to which you will be allocated - see the second year noticeboard in the Department. Seminar groups will generally be taught by other members of staff or teaching assistants: as the lecturer I liase closely with the seminar teaching staff. See below for attendance requirements.
Don't under-estimate the importance of seminars:
- They can provide a valuable opportunity for you to practice speaking in front of a group of people. This is an important skill which employers will value. Employers often specifically ask about how fully students participate in tutorials and seminars.
- When lecturers write references for students, contributions in class count for a lot.
- They can help you to learn to think and talk without getting flustered.
All are expected to participate in seminar discussions.
LEARNING HOW TO LEARN
Outside of seminars and lectures, try to think through the extent to which the course materials give you additional insight into the everyday practices of world politics as you observe and participate in them.
[Tips on using websites: if you can’t get directly to the page you want using, say, http://www.citizen.org/pctrade/MAI/maihome.html, shorten the URL to, say, http://www.citizen.org/ and then click around the site to find the page you want. If that still doesn’t work, type some of the details into a search engine such as Google http://www.google.com/. At time of writing the sites in this syllabus are live. However, websites do close down without notice. I will keep checking on the status of sites which are required reading].
If you download an electronic copy of this syllabus from http://www.bris.ac.uk/politics/current-ug/syl-lib.html, you can then just click on the hotlinks and browse the sites listed.
BEWARE WIKIPEDIA!
Wikipedia comes high in online searches. However, entries vary drastically in their reliability and hence you should not rely on it for facts or interpretations. It has come to light that corporations, government bodies and many others have been editing entries anonymously. See – and search - for yourself at http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/.
ELECTRONIC JOURNALS AND ACADEMIC SEARCH TOOLS
JSTOR and Google Scholar
These excellent resources http://www.jstor.org/search/ and http://scholar.google.com/ let you find many academic articles and papers (often free online), searchable by author’s name and subject.
Search tip: if you see a book title that looks interesting, but the book is out, the library doesn’t have it or you are pressed for time, search for the author’s name and you are likely to be taken to article length versions of or follow-ups to the book.
In addition to hard copy journals, the library subscribes to a vast number of electronic journals. Most of the following are not in the library in hard copy. Where the journal is electronic only, no library shelfmark is (or indeed can) be given in the syllabus below. The most relevant journals for this unit are International Organization, Review of International Studies, Millennium, British Journal of Politics and International Relations, European Journal of International Relations, International Relations, New Political Science, Globalizations, Political Studies, Third World Quarterly, International Affairs, World Politics, Social Justice, Alternatives, American Political Science Review, International Journal of Human Rights, Globalizations , Journal of Global Ethics, Ethics and International Affairs, International Peacekeeping, Global Governance, Australian Journal of International Affairs and New Left Review. There is also lots of value in more specialised journals such as Review of International Political Economy, Conflict, Security and Development, Review of International Political Economy, New Political Economy, Adelphi Papers, Survival, Antipode and International Security. And then there are all the journals with ‘Development’ in their title… and all the regional ones (‘Middle East’ etc.) And on the environment there is Ethics and the Environment, Ethics, Place and Environment, Environment, Development and Sustainability,
Environment and Planning, C: Government and Policy, Environment and Development Economics and
Climate Policy. And many more….
Electronic journals are accessible through the library’s home page at http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/library/electronicjournals/.
For information on off-campus access to electronic journals, see http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/library/ejhelppa.html. Browsing through the journals is a great way of finding unexpected valuable angles on issues.
READING MATERIALS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
At minimum you should purchase or share with a fellow student three items:
- John Baylis and Steve Smith (eds) The Globalization of World Politics (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005), third edition;
- David Harvey, A Short History of Neoliberalism (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007); and
- the unit course pack.
Baylis and Smith is a standard textbook, and will be used for many of the required and supplementary readings, and Harvey is used for some required readings. All other articles or parts of books which are required readings will be in the course pack.
I also strongly recommend that you purchase – and read! - Drew Westen, The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation (New York: Public Affairs, 2007). A caveat: this is a partisan book focused on the political psychology of US electoral politics with the aim of assisting the Democrats to beat the Republicans. The reason I am recommending it to you is that it will encourage you to reflect on how all of us actually think about politics, what persuades us and what does not persuade us. Academia generally represents itself as setting aside emotion and assessing arguments on their factual and logical merits alone. Westen’s book will help you reflect on the extent to which this is true.
Joseph S. Nye, Jr., Understanding International Conflicts (London: Pearson Longman, 2005), fifth edition, is also valuable background reading, and so I have also asked Waterstones to stock these in case you wish to purchase them as supplementary reading. Chapters 7 and 8 are in the coursepack as required reading for the week on liberalisms.
REQUIRED WORK
1 seminar presentation. Details below. You must do at least one to a 'passing' standard; otherwise you will not get your credit points
First essay from the A List. Deadline specified in the last part of this handout. This is the ‘non-assessed essay’: it does not count towards your final degree classification.
Second essay from the B List. Deadline specified in the last part of this handout. Note that this is the 'assessed essay', hence it contributes towards a coursework mark for classification.
Essays must be wordprocessed. Essays must be written and correctly referenced according to the Departmental Guidelines on presentation of references (bibliography). You can find a copy of these on the Blackboard site. Make sure you check them when you start to write your essays. Marks will be deducted if these rules are not followed. Marks will also be deducted from essays that exceed the word limit.
ESSAYS
Although the required and supplementary reading indicated below is grouped in terms of weeks, your essay may usefully draw on reading across a number of weeks. The essay questions are not necessarily pitched to fit the weekly topics: the intention is to get you to approach the material from a different angle. The unit deliberately asks very big questions: the challenge is to be concise and show broad grasp. If you choose to compare IR theories, there is no ‘right’ number to compare: choose the number which best serves your purposes and preferences.
Articles and books use headings and sub-headings to guide the reader. You don’t have to use them but essays can benefit from them too. A good rule of thumb is to use only two levels of headings and make it clear which is the main heading (eg using capital letters) and which is the sub-heading (eg using lower case and italics, bold or underlining). Another good rule of thumb is to use active headings which tell the reader what you are arguing (eg ‘WHY SANCTIONS NEARLY ALWAYS FAIL’) as opposed to passive ones (eg ‘SANCTIONS: SUCCESS AND FAILURE’) which only indicate the general topic. If you feel that the argument is too complex for an active heading, then use a passive one.
Please read these instructions very carefully.
Your first essay - the non-assessed essay - must answer one of the 8 questions listed below from the ‘A’ list. All these questions are prefixed with an “A”. Your second essay - the assessed essay – will be selected from a list of 8 questions (prefixed with a “B”). Your first and second essays must answer differently-numbered questions. You must not do the (A) and (B) part of the same numbered question. If you do, for example, 2(A), you cannot do 2(B) as your second essay. You cannot submit a (B) essay for which you have already submitted an (A) answer: you will have to write another essay, subject to penalties for being late. Any essay which has to be rewritten will receive a mark of not greater than 40.
You have wide latitude in how you approach the essays, unless the essay question explicitly instructs you otherwise. For example, you may take a theoretical approach or an empirical one, or combine them. You may focus on a particular school of thought (such as a version of realism), compare as many schools of thought as you wish, or make no mention of schools of thought. You may go into literature and cases outside those covered in the syllabus. You may focus your essay entirely on a particular case or on the comparison of a set of cases. The key thing is that you answer the question in a way that is meaningful to you in terms of your interests and concerns. What you should not do is give an answer that you think the tutor will agree with: that is not what we are interested in.
To write a good essay 1. answer the question (don’t just summarise), 2. explain in the introduction the context of the question, your basic argument and how the essay will proceed step by step (the structure), and 3. signpost the structure throughout the essay, indicating the logical progression from paragraph to paragraph and section to section (so linking sentences at the ends of paragraphs and sections are important).
‘A’ list – non-assessed essay questions
1. (A) Do any of Britain’s arms sales breach the EU’s Code of Conduct on the arms trade?
2. (A) Under what circumstances are economic sanctions mostly likely to achieve their political objectives?
3. (A) What do the intervening states gain and lose when they engage in what they call humanitarian intervention?
4. (A) How secure is the United States?
5. (A) Why are there so many poor people in the world?
6. (A) Does liberalism solve the problem of living together in a diverse world or do we need to rely on realism?
7. (A) How important is the concept of class in understanding world politics?
8. (A) What are constructivism’s main contributions to understanding world politics?
Draft ‘B’ list – assessed essay questions
These are the draft assessed essay questions. The examinations officer and external examiner may require questions to be amended or replaced: when final versions are approved, you will be informed.
1. (B) Who buys British arms and why do they buy them?
2. (B) ‘Economic sanctions seem rather ineffective – until they are compared with diplomacy or military threats’. Discuss.
3. (B) To what extent does humanitarian intervention using force produce overall humanitarian gains?
4. (B) Is the United States a benign empire?
5. (B) Do the poor of the world have to stay poor so that the rich of the world can stay rich and so that the world can avoid environmental catastrophe?
6. (B) Are liberalism and realism competing or complementary approaches to thinking about world politics?
7. (B) Are there any alternative to neoliberal globalisation?
8. (B) Is there a particular version of realism, liberalism, materialism or constructivism that you find persuasive as an approach to thinking about world politics? If so, compare it with another version within that same school of IR theory. If not, explain why not.
ORAL PRESENTATION
The most important thing to remember about the presentation is that it should NOT be a summary of the week’s required reading or lecture. You should assume that your classmates have done the reading and been to the lecture. The presentation should be evaluative: you should answer the question, which is always something like ‘Are you persuaded by any version of realism?’ You should be evaluative throughout: this means that you should not summarise for eight minutes and then say ‘In conclusion, I agree with Waltz’s neorealism’: your presentation would be finishing where it should be starting. The issue is why you do or not agree. Trying specifying a particular aspect of it and then discussing it, working your way through a series of these until you reach a conclusion that pulls them together.
You are required to make an oral seminar presentation. The rules are as follows:
1. The topics will be allocated in the first seminar. You can do an essay on the same topic as your presentation.
2. The presentation is to be of no more than 10 minutes in length. As with the word limit on the essay, part of the exercise is learning to be concise.
3. The presentation must not be simply read out word for word, but be presented from notes: the idea is to practice presenting naturally to a group.
4. It must address one of the questions set for discussion each week.
5. It must contain a brief bibliography.
6. It must be word-processed, and be no longer than one side of A4 paper (including bibliography). Remember to put your name on it. The tutor will photocopy the handout for all seminar members. If at all possible, give your tutor the handout at least a couple of hours in advance of the seminar so that the class can start promptly.
7. The tutor will provide comments on your presentation informally in class and via a feedback sheet. When you are preparing for your presentation, bear in mind the importance of quality of handout, presentation style (pace, volume and time management), presentation’s content and contribution to the entire seminar. The comments and mark on a feedback sheet will be returned to you in class within two weeks

Learning outcome: develop understanding of the unit as a whole and specific points within it. I will start with some introductory observations followed by answers to your questions.
SEMINAR SCHEDULE AND READING LISTS
The seminar schedule lags behind the lecture schedule by one week in order to give you time to think through the lecture material before the seminar takes place, and in order to assist you in your reading.
Each week’s seminar will proceed on the assumption that you have completed all of that week’s required reading. In order to be able to fulfil this requirement, you will need to plan ahead. All supplementary reading is listed in very rough order of priority.
Each unit is limited to 30 items in the short loan collection. I have also put many items on 3 day and 7 day loan and ordered as many multiple copies of books as I can.
Week 1 seminar: Introduction
In this session the tutor will talk to you about the content of the unit, go through this handout with you to ensure that you understand its contents, and allocate oral presentations.
Learning outcome: Develop an understanding of the unit, its purposes and its methods.

Normally each week there are a number of pieces of required reading for seminars, but it may not be practical to expect that in the first week as there may be administrative or other uncertainties, so these are just suggested readings.
Baylis and Smith has five historical overview chapters which you ought to familiarise yourself with as background reading as term progresses.
You may also wish to look at some point to read a few of these pieces regarding academics and the theory and practice of world politics:
