COURSE SYLLABUS

INR 5007 Theories of International Relations
Fall 1994

Prof. Dale Smith
551 Bellamy 644-7317

Seminar Description:

The purpose of this seminar is to acquaint you with some of the theories and methods found in the study of international relations. It will, therefore, be focused on scholarly research, not current events or policy formulation. We will pay particular attention to the development of research programs over time as well as debates and controversies over competing theoretical orientations. Both the breadth and depth of the discipline is too large for this course to be a comprehensive review of the study of international relations. Rather, it is meant to serve only as an introduction to the topics we study and the means by which we study them.

Course Requirements:

Class Participation: (25% of course grade) Each member of the seminar is expected to complete all required reading prior to each class and to participate fully in the seminar discussions. Additionally, each participant will make one or more presentations based on the readings.

Seminar Paper: (45% of course grade) Each seminar participant will write an integrative literature review of some coherent body of work within the field of international relations. The purpose of the review is to evaluate progress with respect to theories and methods. All topics must be approved by me in advance. The papers will be due at the end of the semester. The precise date will be decided on by the class, but papers will be marked down one-half letter grade for each day they are overdue.

Midterm Exam: (30% of course grade)
