Course Description and Objectives

This course is an introduction to the major theories of international relations. It will not only
present and evaluate the major theories of international politics, but also examine the highly
contested issue of what the proper subject matter of IR theory is and the relationship between
the history of IR theory and the history of international politics. While it is clearly intended that
you should learn a good deal of both international history and IR theory this semester, the
course's objectives go beyond this: during the course, students will also confront basic
questions which face the whole range of social science disciplines. Why is war so common?
Are there alternatives to "states"? Why do persons perceive international relations as they
do? To what extent is "international relations" a gendered concept? These are all questions
that are explored in various theories of international relations. There are, concurrently, many
purposes that might be served by theory. The objectives of this course include helping
students to interpret and describe international relations, to study a variety of explanations for
various events and non-events, and to consider various prescriptions or solutions to different
kinds of problems. At a more prosaic level, it is hoped that you will become a more intelligent
'consumer' of news about international issues. As you become familiar with the various
approaches to the study of IR, and with their particular strengths and weaknesses, you will be
able more readily to identify the options available to international actors and the constraints
within which they operate.

At the end of the semester students should:

x be familiar with the main theories and models applied in the study of international
relations, their ambitions, achievements and limitations;
x have substantive knowledge of the cases covered by the course;
x have developed a critical approach to current debates and issues in world politics and
the discipline of international relations; and
x have developed transferable skills, including critical evaluation, analytical
investigation, written presentation and communication.

1) A Mid-Term Take Home Exam during Week 6. The exam should be no longer than 1200-
1500 words. You will have to answer one question among four presented.

2) A Final Take-Home Exam during the last week of class. The exam should be no longer
than 1200-1500 words. You will have to answer one question among four presented.
