1 McGILL UNIVERSITY Department of Political Science POLI 575 Honours Seminar in International Relations Culture and Identity in World Politics Fall 2008 Tuesdays, 2:05-4:55 PM, Leacock 424 Professor Vincent Pouliot Office hours: Tuesdays, 10:00 AM-12:00 PM, Leacock Course description Culture and identity matter in world politics. Over the last decade and a half, the discipline of International Relations (IR) has paid renewed attention to these issues, both in theory and in practice. At the empirical level, in the real world of international politics, culture and identity are increasingly considered as key explanatory variables in conflicts and/or community-building. The end of the Cold War has been a watershed on that account by bringing about more complex political dynamics than simple superpower rivalry. At the theoretical level, in the realm of scientific knowledge, the rise of post-positivist approaches in the 1990s, most notably constructivism and postmodernism, has opened thinking space to better conceptualize culture and identity in IR theories. The course purports to critically assess the simultaneous rise of culture and identity in IR theory as well as in world political practice. Since the department offers other courses on culture and identity at the national level (including on ethnic conflicts), the course focuses on the international and transnational dimensions of symbolic politics. In substantive terms, the course deals with problems of methodology and conceptualization as well as with applied issues such as collective identity formation, the politics of identity, foreign policy or diplomatic, popular and security cultures. Two major cases will be addressed in turn: the West as a political identity; and world culture beyond national communities. The course begins and ends with the so-called clash of civilizations as a focal point for thinking through symbolic politics on the world scale. Overall, students are expected to learn to critically reflect on the merits and limits of taking culture and identity seriously in the study of world politics. 2- Course format The class meets once a week for three hours. Each class consists of an introductory presentation by the instructor followed by interactive debates and discussions involving students. In terms of substance, most courses start from a theoretical or conceptual problem, which is then applied to empirical cases drawn from contemporary world politics. It is absolutely essential for students to complete all the readings before the lecture in order to fully benefit from discussions. Note that many issues pertaining to culture and identity can be politically sensitive; it is each student s responsibility to express opinions in a respectful and tolerant way. 3- Course materials The mandatory readings are to be found in a reading packet on sale at the McGill bookstore. It contains journal articles as well as book chapters. All recommended readings can be found either in hard copy at the McLennan library or in electronic form through the library website. Recommended books have not been placed on short-term loan. 1

2 4- Communications policy Office hours are held weekly on Tuesdays, 10AM to noon. Priority will be given to students who come in person to the instructor s office (Leacock 439) on a first come, first serve basis. However, students who cannot be physically present can go on the course website (WebCT) for virtual office hours through the chat section. Alternatively, it is also possible to set an appointment via . All communication must be channeled through WebCT and NOT through the instructor s McGill . Legitimate inquiries will normally be answered within two WEEKdays. If you do not receive a reply within this period, please resubmit your question(s). Questions of general interest will be answered in class only. Extensive advice or feedback on students works should be sought in person during weekly office hours or by appointment. Students are required to regularly consult the course website on WebCT for important announcements, handouts and other course-related information. Group s are also managed through WebCT. 5- Course requirements 1) Three critical essays: (3 X 15 = 45 percent) Over the course of the term, students are required to hand in three critical essays. Each essay deals with one specific reading to be assigned, two weeks in advance, on a voluntary basis and in exclusivity to individual students. Critical essays, of a maximum length of 1,500 words, should include four parts: 1) a short summary of the argument, including the thesis (max. 250 words); 2) an in-depth, analytical critique of the argument; 3) an analysis of how the reading connects with other readings for that week and the course in general; and 4) a set of critical and thought-provoking questions that the reading sparks. In addition, each student will briefly (5 minutes max.) present her/his essay to the class as a basis for discussion and debate. Please note that because essays are to be discussed in class, late submissions will not be accepted. 2) Research essay (35 percent) The research essay deals with an analytical question about the course materials (a choice of three questions will be handed out by the instructor during Session 9, October 27 th ). Students are required to provide an in-depth theoretical reflection on the issue at hand and to illustrate their ideas with one or a few case studies drawn from past or present world politics. The maximum length of the essay is 3,000 words, references included. The essay is due at the beginning of the last course (November 25 th ). 3) Participation (20 percent) The participation grade is based on attendance, active involvement in discussions and debates, as well as preparedness. Active involvement in online discussions will also be taken into account in assessing participation, though to a lesser degree than in-class participation. In addition, from week 2 onwards, students are required to post weekly comments on assigned readings. These short comments (no longer than one page, as short as one paragraph) should ask questions about the readings, make critical comments, draw connections among them, etc. Comments must be submitted under the relevant discussion thread on WebCT by Sunday, 8 PM Eastern time. They will be made publicly available shortly thereafter for consultation prior to class. Weekly comments will be used as springboards for in-class discussions. They will not be graded individually but will count toward participation. Note that for those sessions that students are already submitting a critical essay, they may not submit a weekly comment. 2

3 6- Additional resources Academic journals presenting alternative approaches to the understanding of world politics include: European Journal of International Relations, International Political Sociology, Review of International Studies, Millennium, International Studies Perspectives, Alternatives and International Feminist Journal of Politics. More mainstream journals such as International Organization and International Studies Quarterly also feature, from time to time, interesting materials about culture and identity. 7- Late penalties and extensions Due to the fact that critical essays are discussed during the same class as they are submitted, late submissions will not be accepted. Assigned essays that are not submitted at the beginning of the class will result in a zero grade. Late penalty on the research essays amounts to 2 percent per day including weekends and holidays. Note that essays will not be accepted via , fax nor should they be left anywhere else in the university than the classroom itself. Students are responsible for keeping safe both a paper and an electronic copy of any submitted papers. It is also students duty to retain all marked assignments returned by the instructor until the end of the term. Extensions or make-up exams are not granted except in cases consistent with the Faculty of Arts guidelines. Be prepared to provide all the relevant documentation (medical notes with clear date indications, etc.). Students should advise the instructor about extensions prior to deadline if possible and at most one week later. 8- Plagiarism McGill University values academic integrity. Therefore, all students must understand the meaning and consequences of cheating, plagiarism and other academic offences under the Code of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures (see for more information). A number of tools, including public search engines, may be used to detect plagiarism. In addition, students are not permitted to hand in the same assignment in two or more courses. 9- Disabilities and other special needs Students with learning disabilities should advise the instructor as soon as possible. They should also contact the Office for Students with Disabilities ( , Arrangements can also be made to accommodate special needs such as religion, chronic illness, social discomfort or else. Additional policies governing academic issues affecting students can be found in the Handbook on Student Rights and Responsibilities, Charter of Students Rights (online at Course plan Note: this bibliography contains a number of further references that are meant to be suggestive not exhaustive.
