Course Description

This graduate seminar explores the contested notion of global governance in both

analytical and empirical perspectives. The central aim of the course is to examine the

main factors and processes of global governance as applied to the contemporary

international community. In the first half of the course, we will discuss various

conceptual issues pertaining to global governance (e.g., definitions, key actors, and

various theoretical perspectives involved in the debate on global governance). We will

assess in particular the role of power, interests, international institutions, transnational

networks, and ideas. The seminar will then delve into a wide range of substantive issue

areas that are of global significance and which often demand global solutions. These

topics include global economic governance, globalization, the environment, third-world

state building, international justice, military intervention, nuclear proliferation, and global

terrorism. We will apply competing analytical perspectives to different issue areas, as

they intersect with the nature and management of global governance in the 21st century.

Course Requirements and Grading

This graduate seminar is designed to improve students’ critical thinking and analytical

writing skills. Students are expected to attend all sessions and to actively participate in

class discussion. The readings for this course consist of various analytical perspectives

and a wide-range of global issues, which demand careful and critical reading. You are

expected to understand the central questions/arguments of the required readings prior to

coming to class so that you may meaningfully participate in class discussion.

To have structured class discussion joined by students, seminar participants will take

turns writing a short summary/discussion topics paper, introducing the arguments and

findings of the required readings for the week and raising questions for seminar

discussion (no more than 2 pages, single-spaced; 1” margins and 12-point font). An

electronic copy (word document as email attachment) of the memo should be sent via

email to the entire class by midnight on Monday. The sign-up sheet for memo writers

will be distributed in the first week of the class.

You are also strongly encouraged to read the world or international section of either The

New York Times or The Washington Post (or newspapers/news magazines of similar

depth and scope in their global coverage, such as The Economist). During class

discussion, we will often link the course materials to key global events of the day covered

in the news.

In addition to the short readings paper, there are three main requirements for this class.

First, the participation grade is 20% of the entire course grade. Hence, regular

participation (not just attendance) in class discussion is crucial to success in this class.

(Further, discussing the concepts we deal with in this class helps to “activate” the

knowledge that you obtain from the readings, meaning that you will retain the

information better when you verbalize it).

There is a final examination at the end of the semester (30%). You will be asked to

address a set of questions by utilizing various conceptual and empirical aspects of global

governance discussed in class. More information on the exam will be provided in class.

3

Apart from the final exam, each student will write an original research paper (50% of

the course grade; about 3,000 words, double-spaced; 1” margins and 12-point font) on a

topic related to the theme of this seminar. As many of you already know, the most

difficult part of academic paper writing is to come up with a puzzling and interesting

question. The sooner you come to my office hours to discuss your potential topic,

research materials, and analytical focus, the better. You will find in the syllabus a list of

recommended readings for each week, which you may find useful for paper topic ideas

and references. To help you get started, I will have a one-on-one meeting with each of

you to discuss your paper topics and questions (the individual meetings should be held

by September 26th at the latest). During the meeting, you will be asked to provide your

paper topic, its link to global governance, questions to be examined, and research design.

I realize you might not have all that by the time we meet, but bring as much as you can

and we can discuss what the next steps are. The first draft of paper that contains the

central question, arguments, supporting evidence, and things to come in separate sections

(that is, about 2,000 words of text and an annotated bibliography) is due in class the first

week of November and will be worth 20% of the course grade. Later in the semester,

we will also have a series of special sessions in which students present the findings of

their research. The quality of your work in each step and the progress you make

throughout the semester will influence the overall grade for the final paper. If you miss

any of these deadlines, you will not be able to receive my feedback, which will adversely

affect the grade of your final paper. The final version of you paper (30% of the course

grade) is due in class the last week of November. In that week, each of you will also

present your findings in class. Late papers will be marked down by 1/3 of a letter grade

each day late (e.g., A to A-; B+ to B). Additional information about the paper will be

provided in class. You may also find some useful tips about academic writing (and online

writing tutoring) at CSU’s Writing Center. Its web address is as follows:

Key Dates for the Course

Paper discussion meeting: By September 26th, 2019

Paper first draft: Last week of October, 2019

Final version: Last week of November, 2019

Presentation: Tuesday and Thursday, December 3rd and 5th, 2019.

Note on Academic Integrity

Students are expected to abide by the University’s policies concerning academic

integrity. The policy on academic misconduct is found at

http://www.csuohio.edu/studentlife/StudentCodeOfConduct.pdf.

Among other rules, you should pay particular attention to the issue of plagiarism:

“Stealing and/or using the ideas or writings of another in a paper or report and claiming

them as your own. This includes but is not limited to the use, by paraphrase or direct

quotation, of the work of another person without full and clear acknowledgment.”

As this is a graduate class, I really do not expect there to be any issues of this sort, but I

will be very specific—there is no place for disrespecting either me or another student

in this class. Doing so will be taken very seriously.

Plagiarism is another issue I take very seriously. Because a lot of it occurs accidentally

(at least I hope), usually in the form of students not knowing how or when to correctly

cite sources, we will spend a bit of time in this class going over that, as well as other finer

points of academic writing.

Note on Educational Access

“Educational access is the provision of classroom accommodations, auxiliary aids and

services to ensure equal educational opportunities for all students regardless of their

disability. Any student who feels he or she may need an accommodation based on the

impact of a disability should contact the Office of Disability Services at (216)687-2015.

The Office is located in MC 147. Accommodations need to be requested in advance and

will not be granted retroactively.”

Course Schedule (NOTE: I reserve the right to make changes to this depending on how

the course progresses throughout the semester. We can discuss exam or other due dates

changes as a class).
