To understand the dramatic changes taking place in world politics today and to predict how they will shape the future, these changes must be viewed in the context of a long-term perspective. This course examines how the international political system---the patterns of interaction among world political actors---has changed and how some of its fundamental characteristics have resisted change. Are the episodic shock waves occurring throughout the world clearing the way for a truly new twenty-first-century world order? Or will many of today?s dramatic disruptions ultimately be viewed as the wake of a passing ship---temporary in nature and soon gone? Because people are all influenced increasingly by world events, students must confront the challenge of investigating how the global system works and how the process of globalization is remaking our political and economic world. The student is invited to participate in this exciting endeavor. |

This course introduces students the role of the judiciary in American politics and policymaking and explores the questions asked and the methods employed by political scientists studying courts and the legal system. An equally important objective of this course is to familiarize students with the seminal works in judicial research. Judicial scholarship, like other subfields of political science, has experienced some dramatic transformations over the past 50 years with respect to the kinds of questions that have been asked by researchers, the methods that have been utilized to study the courts, and the "variables" that have been investigated. All of these studies have sought to improve the understanding of judicial institutions, their processes and participants, the development of law through cases and litigation, and the role of law and courts in the larger political arena and social environment. |
