5 MASTER OF ARTS IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS (MAIR) Syracuse University will award the degree of Master of Arts in International Relations (MAIR) upon completion of graduate course work totaling 40 credits with a grade point average of "B" (3.0) or better. In most cases, 40 credits equates to 13 three-credit courses and 1 one-credit course. The 16-month MAIR Program features five curricular components. Students: (1) complete five core courses to prepare them with general knowledge and skills needed in the global workplace; (2) focus their studies by choosing one of five career tracks, including regional studies; (3) take one of five signature courses courses that draw fully on the Maxwell School s expertise in public affairs and up-todate/cutting edge applied social science research (4) take a capstone course at the end of their second semester in preparation for their summer internship; and (5) complete an internship through one of the Program s global opportunities. The International Relations Program continues to improve and evolve. By the time you complete the M.A., the offerings and rules may have changed somewhat. The rules which govern your program, however, are those which are in effect the first semester in which you matriculate into the program. This student handbook serves as a contract between the Public Administration and International Affairs Department and the MAIR entering class of fall MAIR DEGREE REQUIREMENTS The MAIR curriculum builds on the base of the core requirements regional and functional areas of specialization (or Career Tracks), all leading to an applied capstone and professional internship.

6 CORE COURSES As part of the interdisciplinary social science framework of the Maxwell School, the core courses are designed to provide all students with general knowledge of the field of international affairs from theoretical and applied perspectives. The skills components of the core curriculum are intended to provide students with valuable quantitative and qualitative professional skills for the global workplace. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS International Actors & Issues PAI 710 MANAGEMENT Challenges of International Management and Leadership PAI 762 ECONOMICS Principles of Economics PAI 720 (or) Economics for Public Decisions - PAI 723 STATISTICS Quantitative Skills for International Relations PAI 704 (or) Introduction to Statistics PPA 721 EVALUATION Research Design PAI 705 SIGNATURE COURSES The signature courses were designed to demonstrate Maxwell s competitive strengths in comparative political analysis and cultural studies as they relate to international affairs. You can chose a course relevant to your career track to develop more depth in your area of focus, or one that will broaden your perspective outside of this area: Culture in World Affairs ANT/PAI 707 Economic Dimensions of Global Power ECN/PAI 716 Development and Sustainability GEO 606 History of International Relations HST 645 Comparative Foreign Policy PSC 783 CAPSTONE SEMINAR The Capstone Seminar (PAI 706) is a one-credit course scheduled during the Maymester (May 11-12, 2015), offering professional training to students before they embark on their summer internships. The object of the seminar is to provide students with the opportunity to apply what they have learned in a professional (albeit simulated) setting. Students will be engaged in a policy simulation exercise, confronting an alternative future policy problem or crisis. Based on individual Career Track focus, each student will be assigned a role (e.g., Foreign Minister of Nigeria, CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, or President of Human Rights Watch). Each Career Track group may meet periodically during the spring semester with a faculty advisor to prepare for the simulation. This faculty advisor will eventually assess students' performance during the exercise (as well as on potential written deliverables) and assign grades. We see the capstone as the culminating experience of your first year of studies here at Maxwell and as a way to bridge the academic and professional aspects of your education. 4

7 CAREER TRACK REQUIREMENTS The field of international relations is multidisciplinary in nature and is as broad as the world itself. Proficiency in key areas such as economics, history, politics, and quantitative methods serve to prepare students for a wide variety of positions. However, with such a broad education, it is crucial that students focus on particular fields of expertise. The career tracks are designed with this objective in mind, to effectively steer students toward careers in diverse areas of international affairs. The five Career Tracks constitute the career fields that most international relations graduates enter. Students choose a single Career Track, completing 12 credits toward this concentration. Signature courses cannot count toward the track unless you have taken more than one signature course option. The IR Program offers the following Career Tracks: International Economics, Finance and Trade Peace, Security and Conflict Governance, Diplomacy and International Organizations Development and Humanitarian Assistance Regional Concentration (Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East) This level of focus is crucial to the job search. By having students identify a Career Track at the onset of their degree program, students are able to channel their energies on a specific field and the corollary career goals. This relationship is described in the next section entitled IR Career Tracks by identifying the common career options, both positions and organizations, for which our students pursuing these career tracks would compete upon graduation. GLOBAL INTERNSHIP REQUIREMENT Professional training is an integral part of the MAIR degree program. As such, all students (with the exception of mid-career students) must complete a 3-credit internship under the supervision of a Maxwell School faculty member. For this reason, the MAIR program has developed global program opportunities including internships in the United States and internationally. Students entering the MAIR program in August 2014 will complete their global internship during the summer or fall of These summer and fall internships may, under some circumstances, help fulfill Career Track requirements. To ensure that a professional development opportunity will fulfill this requirement, students should consult the Associate Director of Graduate Studies and the Global Programs Coordinator for questions related to their individual situation. SECOND LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT Our alumni tell us that competence in a second language is especially important for success in a career in international affairs. In addition to the Career Track, you must demonstrate a working knowledge of a second modern spoken foreign language. The MAIR Program requires competence in a second language, in addition to your own native language, at the level which is achieved after completing two years of formal, university-level instruction in the language. All MAIR students entering the program in the fall of 2013 will need to identify the language in which they plan to meet this requirement, describe how the language relates to their area of study and ultimate career goals, and provide documentation that demonstrates they have met this proficiency level expected within the last 5 years. International students whose native language is not English can count English as their second language. Competence in a second language can be demonstrated in several ways. Students may present a college or university transcript showing completion of study in the language at the level of the fourth semester of instruction. Alternatively, students may sit for a proficiency exam administered by the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics at Syracuse University in 5

8 languages offered by SU at the 202 level. Students must pass this exam to meet the language requirement, or pursue further study. For certification of competence in languages which are not offered at Syracuse University, it is the student s responsibility to arrange for a proficiency examination, and any cost incurred for this is the student s responsibility. If the student has not met the requirement at the time of admission, we recommend that the student pursue language study for credit at the graduate level in lieu of an elective in the program to ensure that the student meets our requirement. Up to 6 credits of graduate language study can be counted toward the MAIR degree in lieu of other electives. Students are strongly encouraged to pursue language study prior to entry if they have not yet met this requirement. TIME REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE MAIR PROGRAM The 40-credit MAIR Program is designed for full-time students to complete within 16 months of study. Students can decide to construct their schedules in multiple ways, either shortening or lengthening the amount of time necessary to complete their program. In doing so, students must keep in mind that they must be enrolled in at least nine credits per semester (fall and spring) to maintain full-time status. This can have an impact on educational loans. And those students who are simultaneously pursuing two graduate degrees will require a longer commitment, the amount of extra time depending on the specifics of each joint degree program. Students may maintain full-time status for a maximum of two years, starting from the semester students began their studies (this rule applies to MAIR students only; other rules apply to those enrolled in jointdegree programs). Students may take more than two years to complete the degree, but they will not be able to maintain their full-time student status after two years. Below you will find an illustrative schedule for the typical MAIR student wishing to graduate in 16 months. The normal course load during the first fall and spring semesters is twelve credits. These two semesters are considered academic training and take place in Syracuse. Students then complete the required one-credit capstone experience during the Maymester on campus. Thereafter, students enroll in a six-credit summer program and a nine-credit fall program; both take place offcampus (although some students decide to stay in Syracuse in either the summer or fall semesters). Students are required to complete a global internship during this time. The last two semesters of the MAIR Program are referred to as professional training. Students complete the MAIR at the end of December of the second year. TYPICAL 16 MONTH MAIR SCHEDULE FALL I (12 credits) 3 required/signature courses 1 career track/elective course SPRING (12 credits) 3 required/signature courses 1 career track/elective course SUMMER I (7 credits) PAI 706 IR Capstone Seminar Maymester course + internship and/or summer global program (off-campus) FALL II (9 credits) Fall global program with internship (off-campus) 3 career track or elective courses 6

9 NORMAL COURSE LOADS The Department of Public Administration & International Affairs does not specify a minimum credit hour load that must be taken during any term. There are normal course loads for all full-time students. They are the same for those students with and without Graduate Assistantship appointments. Normal course loads are as noted above (6-7 credits over the summer terms and 9-12 credits over the fall and spring terms). The university requires that a student registered for a minimum of 9 credits over the fall or spring terms and 6 credits over the summer term to be considered full time. MAIR CORE REQUIREMENTS In the process of meeting the general 40-credit requirement for the MAIR degree, all candidates are expected to fulfill ALL core requirements by either completing the designated core courses or by passing a waiver examination (offered for economics and statistics only). WAIVER EXAM FOR ECONOMICS OR STATISTICS CORE COURSES Students who completed appropriate course work at a high level of performance prior to entering the MAIR program are strongly encouraged to take a waiver examination for the economics and/or introductory statistics core courses. Prior work should be comparable in breadth and depth to the PAI 723 Economics for Public Decisions and PAI 721 Introduction to Statistics. Course syllabi are available from the Department of Public Administration & International Affairs for the student to review to see if this is a viable option. Waiver exams are offered just prior to the start of the fall and spring semester. Students may only attempt the exam once. Exams are not credit bearing. Students who successfully waive core requirements are not relieved of any portion of the total credit hour requirement for their degree. Waiver of a core course allows the student to take an additional approved elective either within the PAIA department (PAI prefix) or from the other offerings at Maxwell or Syracuse University. WAIVER EXAMINATION DATES Statistics August 22, 2013 Economics August 23, 2013 Alternative summer dates and a January test date for either exam can be arranged as needed. All exams are graded the first week of the semester, regardless when the test was completed. 7

11 EXECUTIVE MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS (EMIR) The Executive Master of International Relations (Executive M.A.I.R., referred to as EMIR ) is open to individuals with substantial experience and managerial responsibility in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors (including NGOs). The typical candidate has seven or more years of management experience and holds a position beyond that of basic supervisor. The program is designed for mid-career managers who require updated information and skills in the field of international relations, and who anticipate promotion to a leadership position, or who plan to transition to the public or nonprofit sectors. Current students are drawn from international government ministries and NGOs; federal, regional, state, and local domestic agencies; and a variety of nonprofit and private organizations. The 30-credit program may be completed in one calendar year of full-time study or in a variety of part-time formats. Syracuse University will award the EMIR degree upon completion of graduate course work totaling 30 credits with a grade point average of "B" (3.0) or better. In most cases, 30 credits equates to 10 three-credit courses. EMIR DEGREE REQUIREMENTS The degree consists of 10 courses, including three required courses: 1) PAI 895: Executive Education Seminar, Managerial Leadership, 2) PAI 996: Master s Project, and 3) the choice either PSC783: Comparative Foreign Policy Analysis or IRP 713: Governance and Global Civil Society, depending on whether the student s study interest focuses on foreign policy analysis or questions around the role that transnational actors play in international relations. The other 21 credits will be divided into three categories: 1) those that constitute a specific career track for the student (9 credits), 2) those that are focused on a particular region of the world (3 credits), and 3) electives from the range of relevant courses offered across the Maxwell School departments (9 credits). Some of these elective courses may be selected, with permission, from another college or school of the University. The International Relations Program continues to improve and evolve. By the time you complete the EMIR, the offerings and rules may have changed somewhat. The rules which govern your program, however, are those which are in effect the first semester in which you matriculate into the program. This student handbook serves as a contract between the Public Administration and International Affairs department, the Executive Education Program at Maxwell, and the EMIR entering class of fall EXECUTIVE EDUCATION SEMINAR (PAI 895) Each EMIR student is required to complete one 3-credit seminar in public administration (PAI 895: Managerial Leadership in the Public Sector). The seminar is carefully designed for the executive learner both in content and format. Relying on interactive teaching, case method, group exercises, and application papers, the seminars deal with strategic issues of concern to public leaders. THE MASTER S PROJECT COURSE (PAI 996) Completion of the 3-credit Master's Project Course (PAI 996) meets the University's comprehensive requirement for a master s program. Highly diverse student project teams are organized around a public policy issue. Projects typically are expected to provide an internationally comparative perspective while developing a policy recommendation. The course is an opportunity for students to apply knowledge acquired through study to a policy and organizational issue of professional relevance. While the project deliverable focuses on a public policy issue, the course also emphasizes issues of team management within highly diverse work force settings. Sessions on project management and group dynamics support the teams as they work over the semester with course faculty and other optional faculty advisors to complete their project. A final oral presentation to the class and an academic poster session are also integral and required parts of the course. 9

12 EMIR COURSE PLANNING EMIR students work with an academic advisor to design a program of course work that meets their specific professional needs. In doing so, most students will design a program that allows them to complete an array of courses in various aspects of international relations and coursework in general policy analysis or within a specific policy area. EMIR CORE COURSES (9 credits) PAI 895 Executive Education Seminar PAI 996 Master s Project Course PAI 713 Governance and Global Civil Society (or) PSC 783 Comparative Foreign Policy EMIR CAREER TRACK (9 credits) Global Markets Global Development Foreign Policy Negotiation & Conflict Resolution Global Security Transnational Organizations & Leadership EMIR REGIONAL FOCUS (3 credits) Africa Asia Europe Latin America Middle East Other IR ELECTIVES (9 credits) INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAM OF STUDY The extensive resources of the Maxwell School allows for the executive education student to combine study in public administration and international affairs with other concentrated course work in the social sciences. With the approval of the department and the student s advisor, students may pursue a portion of their studies outside of the Maxwell School in related coursework in other colleges at SU or at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. In addition, graduate students may pursue two degrees concurrently (see Joint and Concurrent Degree Programs). TIME REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE EMIR PROGRAM Full-time students may complete the EMIR degree in 12 months, including a summer session. Part-time students design their own schedule for completion. The length of time required depends on the credit hour per semester load that a student chooses to carry. EMIR NORMAL COURSE LOADS The normal credit-hour load for full-time students is 12 credits in the Fall and Spring semesters and up to 6 credits in Summer sessions. The Department offers special spring winter intercession courses in January that allow the student to complete an additional 3 credits over the winter break. Many international students choose to begin the degree with a 9-credit load in the first semester. 10

14 MAIR CAREER TRACKS The International Relations Program has defined five major subfields within the broad discipline of international relations that correspond to the main career fields into which our alumni enter. Each student s program of study will be focused around one of these Career Tracks to help identify areas of expertise within this broad discipline. Of course, there are many subfields within these Careers Tracks and other fields within international relations that are not addressed by the tracks listed below. For updated information about all fields within International Relations, including descriptions of career opportunities, entry salaries, qualifications, future demands, sample employers, and other relevant resources, please visit Maxwell s Center for Career Development website at the following URL: This URL presents field guides for the following fields and sectors: Associations Capitol Hill Civil Society Conflict Resolution Consulting (Management and Strategic) Corporate Responsibility Counterterrorism Intelligence Economic Development Education (Domestic) Education (International) Energy Environmental/Program Management European Commission/Union Foreign Service Foundations Government Relations/Lobbying Human Resource Training and Development Human Rights Humanitarian Aid and Relief International Business International Consulting International Development International Finance International Law International Marketing International National Security Joint Degree Students: JD/IR Journalism Marketing National Security Non-Profit Management Political Risk Analysis Public Diplomacy Public Finance Public Health Public Relations Science, Technology, and Public Policy Social Enterprise & Social Entrepreneurship Social Justice State and Local Government Think Tanks Trade Policy U.S. Federal Government/Federal Internships United Nations 12

15 International Economics, Finance and Trade (EFT) PROGRAM FACULTY Stuart Brown, Advisor (PAIA) Robert Christen (PAIA) Mary Lovely (ECN) John McPeak (PAIA) Devashish Mitra (ECN) Piyusha Mutreja (ECN) Lourenço Paz (ECN) FOCUS If you re interested in obtaining the skills necessary to understand the workings (or failures) of international markets, this is the career track for you. As suggested in its title, the track focuses on economics so a number of economics courses are necessary to complete the track. As businesses and banks globalize their services and emerging markets influence developed financial markets, it is critical to obtain an understanding of how internationalization affects interest rates, the value of currency and securities, and the economies of nation states as well as localities. But it isn t all economics since political factors can certainly influence international finance and trade. Thus, you ll also be given the opportunity to learn more about the political economy of international trade and business as well as legal aspects of international markets. The track also provides the opportunity to understand the linkages between private-sector capital concerns and broader based political and social issues. The track will prepare you for an array of different types of jobs linked to international economics including international business, international banking and finance, international trade and commerce, public finance, and general international economic policy. Students who have recently concentrated in this track have taken jobs as analysts in the private sector, e.g., banks, consulting firms, and think tanks as well as in the public sector. Among the latter are positions in the U.S. Government Accountability Office, budget offices in state or local governments, and analytical jobs in various ministries of economy or finance outside the U.S. EMPLOYMENT Examples of positions held by Maxwell alumni working in the field of international economics, finance and trade include: Policy Analyst, Australian Dept. of the Treasury Director, Fitch Ratings Financial Research Banking Sector, IMF Resource Management, IDB Foreign Trade Specialist, Turkish Min. of the Economy General Manager, NALA Import-Export Founder and CEO, Norwegian Risk Consulting Int l Senior Hourly Energy Trader, NRG Economist, OECD Sector/Industry Analysis Leader, PWC Coordinator of Mktg. & Program Dev., The Milken Institute Director of the Office of the Pacific Basin, US Dept. of Commerce International Economist, US Dept. of the Treasury Financial Sector Specialist, World Bank 13

17 PEACE, SECURITY AND CONFLICT (PSC) PROGRAM FACULTY Renée de Nevers, Advisor (PAIA) William Banks (PAIA) Catherine Bertini (PAIA) Bruce Dayton (PSC) Rafael Fernandez (PAIA) Catherine Gerard (PAIA) Abbey Steele (PAIA) FOCUS War and conflict often dominate the news. But security - national, international, and individual - can be difficult to ensure without a broad understanding of the causes of war, the challenges confronting peace efforts, and the sources of insecurity in different regions. New security concerns can emerge at a rapid pace while chronic tensions endure, and state and non-state actors adapt their strategies and exploit new technologies in seeking both to promote peace and to undermine stability and security. It is critical for those interested in careers related to peace studies, conflict management or security studies to understand how these diverse and complex challenges affect the changing international environment and the policy choices open to states, international organizations, and citizens seeking to enhance peace and security. Coursework in this track encompasses a broad range of topics, including national security, causes of war, international security, post conflict reconstruction and spoilers of peace, peace-keeping, civil-military relations, citizen participation, human security, conflict analysis and intervention, international cooperation, intelligence and homeland security, military operations and strategy, and transnational threats. Students interested in this area can also work toward completion of several certificates, as further indication of their expertise in sub-fields. These include certificates in Conflict Resolution, Post Conflict Reconstruction, and Security Studies. EMPLOYMENT This career track will be of interest to students seeking a range of jobs in government, nongovernmental organizations, the private sector, and international organizations related to national and international security.

19 GOVERNANCE, DIPLOMACY AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS (GDIO) PROGRAM FACULTY Margaret Hermann, Advisor (PSC) Catherine Bertini (PAIA) Matt Bonham (PSC) Tosca Bruno-VanVijfeijken (PAIA) Renée de Nevers (PAIA) Rafael Fernandez (PAIA) Audie Klotz (PSC) Steven Lux (PAIA) Glyn Morgan (PSC) Hans Peter Schmitz (PSC) FOCUS This career track provides students with the skills and training needed to become effective leaders of organizations working in the global environment. The courses in this track draw on the Maxwell School s distinguished history of training prominent leaders in government, the international, and NGO sectors. Students will acquire skills and competencies essential to managing international organizations and government agencies, including negotiation and conflict resolution, diplomacy, cultural awareness, political leadership, and organizational and human resource management. Important components of this track are diplomacy and foreign policy the delicate communications handled by national representatives that define the relationships between nation states. Students who select this career track are well-positioned for careers managing international and non-governmental organizations or working in varied career paths focusing on international relations, conflict resolution, and negotiations, communication and management. This is also a valuable career path for students seeking careers in the Foreign Service and foreign affairs ministries. Students in this track may also be interested in satisfying the requirements for the certificates in Leadership of International and Non-Governmental Organizations, Advanced Study in Civil Society Organizations, Post Conflict Reconstruction, Security Studies, or Conflict Resolution. EMPLOYMENT Students who select Governance, Diplomacy and International Organizations as their primary career track often set their sights on a career in the Foreign Service or other international civil service unit. However, this field is valuable for any student of international relations, and as a result, the career paths that follow are varied. Positions held by Maxwell alumni working in the field include: Alberta Ministry of International & Intergovernmental Relations, Senior Officer Global Panel Foundation, Chairman Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Deputy Director General NASA, Europe Team Lead, International Programs Specialist Japanese Mission to the European Union, Secretary World Bank, Governance Specialist UN Institute for Training and Research, Program Officer US Department of Energy, Senior China Advisor US Department of Labor, International Relations Officer US Department of State, Foreign Service Officer US Department of State, Bureau of International Information Programs, Foreign Affairs Officer US Agency for International Development, Democracy & Governance Officer 17

The broad range of course offerings provides special focus on health, education, environmental sustainability, state-building and democratization, social change, economic growth, humanitarian assistance, and the political and cultural context of international development and humanitarian work. Students who follow this career track leave the program not only knowing how things are done in the fields of development and humanitarian assistance, but with the background to understand why it is things are done this way and an ability to question whether there are new approaches that merit consideration, and the ability to act on these. Students following this career track have gone on to both policy making roles at international organizations in the donor countries and to field office positions where development and humanitarian programs are implemented. Students in this track may also choose to complete the CAS in Post Conflict Reconstruction. EMPLOYMENT Students in this program often seek employment in bilateral or multilateral international aid agencies in private voluntary organizations dealing with development, consulting firms or federal/state offices that deal with international issues. Prior overseas experience and foreign language skills are important assets in obtaining such positions.

23 REGIONAL CONCENTRATION (REG) (Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East) PROGRAM FACULTY Rebecca Peters, Advisor - Africa (PAIA) Terry Lautz, Advisor East Asia Brian Taylor, Advisor Europe (PSC) John Burdick, Advisor Latin America Mehrzad Boroujerdi, Advisor Middle Susan Wadley, Advisor South Asia (ANT) East (PSC) (ANT) FOCUS The regional track represents an attractive alternative to the topical career tracks for students for whom the study of a particular world region can best serve their intellectual interests and professional goals. Regional concentrations are generally available for Europe (including Russia/Eurasia), Asia (East Asia and South Asia), the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Students interested in regions can also work toward completion of several certificates, including European Union and Contemporary Europe, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Middle Eastern Affairs, and South Asian Studies. Regional specialization usually requires proficiency in a language other than English, so students pursuing this option may count six hours of graduate language study toward the track. In addition, Maxwell s Global Programs, which provide offcampus opportunities at a range of partner institutions around the globe, can often be an important part of a regional career track. EMPLOYMENT Regional knowledge serves to strengthen students marketability in the job market, better aligning them with targeted opportunities. Recent placements include: Public Relations Specialist/Program Coordinator, America & China International Foundation Program Associate, Eurasia Foundation Head of Delegation, International Committee of the Red Cross Research Assistant, Saban Center for Middle East Policy, The Brookings Institution Program Officer, Asia Program, The Henry Luce Foundation Senior Lecturer and Co-Director of the Europa Institute, University of Edinburgh Director, Office of the Pacific Basin, US Department of Commerce Political and Public Diplomacy Officer, US Mission to the African Union, US Department of State 21

25 JOINT AND CONCURRENT DEGREE PROGRAMS JD/MAIR JOINT DEGREE PROGRAM PROGRAM FACULTY William C. Banks Isaac Kfir Cora True-Frost David M. Crane Robert Murrett PROGRAM PROFILE Students enrolled in the joint JD/IR degree program must earn a total minimum of 100 credits in both the Maxwell School and the College of Law. The Masters in International Relations requires 40 credits, 28 of which will be from the core Maxwell IR courses and 12 of which may be earned by course work at the College of Law. To apply a course taken in the College of Law to the M.A. in International Relations at the Maxwell School, the law course must deal with some aspect of international affairs, and the grade must be at least a "B." Examples of such courses include: International Law, International Business Transactions, Comparative Law, International Organizations, Conflict of Laws, and Humanitarian Law. The JD requires 87 credits. Joint-degree students must take at least 72 Law School credits. Students will be allowed to transfer 24 credits from the Graduate School to the College of Law, and these credits will be calculated as 15. The first six credits of the 24 will be counted as 1 credit. The remaining 18 credits will reconfigured as 9 credits for Law School purposes (9 + 6 = 15). These 15 credits added to 72 law credits will equal the 87 credits required for the JD. ADMISSION TO THE JOINT JD/MPA PROGRAM Students who want to be considered for admission to the JD/MAIR program must first gain admission to the regular program of each participating academic unit. It is in the student s best interest to apply to both the College of Law and the Maxwell School s MAIR program at the outset. The completion of two separate applications is necessary and GRE scores are required for application to the MAIR program. Alternatively, first year SU law students may also apply to the MAIR program after successful completion of the fall semester of their first year at the College of Law. Admission of internal applicants to the joint program will be limited each year and applications will only be accepted from FIRST YEAR law students. Students in their second or third year with the College of Law are not eligible for the joint JD/MAIR program. For first-year law students, applicants must submit to the Department of Public Administration & International Affairs a newly completed Maxwell application. Specific internal application instructions can be obtained from the PAIA Department, 215 Eggers Hall. First-year College of Law student applicants to the joint program are screened for admission in early March, and will be notified of admissions decisions prior to Spring break. Internal applications are due on or about February 1 each year. Note that JD students pursuing a dual degree are only eligible if they meet the College of Law s GPA requirements for dual degree students, regardless of Maxwell s admissions decision. PROGRAM SEQUENCE The joint degree can be completed in the same time frame as the JD separately. The sequence in the Joint JD/MAIR program involves six semesters plus one interim summer of course work. Students will only take College of Law courses during their first academic year. JD/MAIR students typically pursue an internship and related coursework (6 credits at Maxwell) during the summer following their 1L or 2L years to meet the internship requirement for the IR degree. During the final four semesters students take a combination of College of Law courses and the remaining 22 credits at Maxwell, which meet the MAIR degree requirements. 23

27 MAIR/MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (MPA) Created nearly 80 years ago, Maxwell s MPA program is the nation s first professional program in public affairs and has consistently been ranked among the very best schools for public affairs in the country. It delivers excellent preparation for the challenges of management in the public sector and provides a rich context for the professional study of public policy analysis. The interaction between the spheres of international relations and public administration makes the dual MAIR / MPA option an invaluable experience for students seeking a career which values the combination of international expertise and public management skills. The joint program offers excellent preparation for professions in government, global consulting firms, NGOs, and international organizations. It can be completed in two years of full time study, 58 credits, and allows for a semester long, extended abroad or domestic professional development internship. Students can apply directly to the Maxwell Joint MPA/MA IR program and should NOT file separate applications for this joint program. Admitted students will begin their course of study in the summer with the Master of Public Administration core courses and complete the joint program requirements in two years of full time study. Internal candidates from the IR and MPA programs will be considered for the joint degree program on a case-by-case basis, and admission may be limited based on program size. Students in the Maxwell Joint MAIR/MPA program will complete all MPA core course requirements and the IR core courses. They will build two topical areas of study/career track concentrations (one in PA and one in IR) as well as an IR minor in an additional career track or geographic concentration. PA topical areas of study include: Environmental Policy & Administration; International & Development Administration; International & National Security Policy; Public & Nonprofit Management; State & Local Government Financial Analysis & Management; Social Policy (Social Welfare, Health & Education); and Technology & Information Policy. More information on the Joint MAIR/MPA degree requirements is available from the PAIA office. PROGRAM SEQUENCE The sequence of the joint MAIR/MPA program involves 4 semesters of coursework and one or two summer terms, depending on the abroad/domestic internship options selected. Most students will begin their course of study with the entering MPA students in July of their first year. This is strongly encouraged as it allows for optimum course and program choices over the two years of study. In some cases, (as with internal applicants from IR into the MPA program) and for some incoming students, fall entry can be permitted. All joint MAIR/MPA students will complete the same Economics (PAI 723) and Statistics (PAI 721) courses (which are shared requirements for the two degrees) in addition to the other IR core courses (the MPA workshop will substitute for the IR Capstone Seminar). The additional MPA core requirements beyond these include: PAI 600 Public Affairs Colloquium PAI 712 Public Organizations & Management (students can elect to substitute the IR management core for 712) PAI 722 Quantitative Analysis PAI 734 Public Budgeting PAI 755 Public Administration & Democracy PAI 752 MPA Workshop PAI 753 Executive Leadership Seminar Students will also complete (9) credits toward the MPA program of study framework. 25

29 MAIR/MASTER OF ARTS IN ECONOMICS (MA-ECON) The interplay between international relations and economic forces dominates our attention today. The daily headlines reveal the extent of global conflict rooted in economics--everything from transatlantic trade wars, to sovereign debt default to environmental devastation. Students of international relations cannot fully appreciate the underpinnings and solutions to modern conflict without a firm grasp of economic principles. Furthermore, in the increasingly competitive job market, IR students with a firm grounding in economic theory and applied quantitative techniques hold a distinct advantage in building quality careers in government, the private sector or with non-government organizations. The Maxwell School has introduced a Joint Economics and International Relations Option. This rigorous course of study allows you to earn two MA degrees--in International Relations and in Economics--in only two years. You will be expected to complete challenging courses in economic theory as well as econometrics, in addition to core courses in International Relations. We expect our most promising IR students with a strong interest in Economics to take advantage of this unique opportunity to acquire a strong interdisciplinary expertise. Students wishing to undertake the dual course of study should apply online to the joint program, rather than applying to both programs separately. Students admitted to the joint degree must fulfill the core courses, specializations, and exit requirements for each. It is also possible to internally apply to the Economics Program after arrival on campus. Upon completion of these requirements, students are awarded two degrees, the MAIR from the Department of Public Administration and International Affairs and the MA in Economics from the Economics Department. PROGRAM SEQUENCE There are multiple ways to structure your joint degree program. Students should consult with the Associate Director of Graduate Studies and the Graduate Director for Economics to discuss options tailored to their individual needs. All joint MAIR/MA-ECON students will complete Economics and Statistics courses through the Economics department, rather than the equivalent versions offered through the Department of Public Administration and International Affairs (specifically, ECN 601 Survey of Microeconomics and ECN 521 Economic Statistics). In addition to these and other IR core courses, students complete the following coursework toward their Economics program of study: ECN 602 ECN 522 ECN 505/605 Survey of Macroeconomics Econometric Methods Mathematics for Economists In some cases, students can petition the Department of Economics to substitute PAI 716 for ECN 602; other equivalent substitutions may be considered on a case by case basis and pending the approval of the graduate director and the Chair of the department. Students must complete at least 30 credits toward the MA in Economics degree, including the core outlined above plus an additional 15 credits of economics coursework, 9 of which should fulfill a concentration in one of the following areas of study: Econometrics; Economic Development; International Economics; Health Economics; Urban and Regional Economics; Labor Economics; or Public Finance. 27

31 MAIR/MASTER OF SCIENCE IN PUBLIC RELATIONS (MSPR) (PUBLIC DIPLOMACY) Syracuse University offers an exciting dual degree program geared for students interested in Public Diplomacy. This double degree option affords students the opportunity to complete an MS in Public Relations from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communications along with Maxwell's MA in International Relations within only two years of study. Public Diplomacy is a new field that has evolved far beyond the traditional view that includes government-funded and sponsored cultural, educational, exchange and broadcasts to promote the national interest of a nation state. WHY PUBLIC DIPLOMACY? Increasingly, employers in government, international organizations, non-profit organizations and the NGO community, as well as the private sector, are looking for people who understand diverse audiences at home and abroad and are skillful at crafting messages that describe the organization, convey its vision, and help the organization to communicate its message in times of change or crisis. Every organization, regardless of its size or mission, needs people who have the training and skills to create and sustain an effective dialogue with external audiences. Students wishing to undertake the dual course of study submit a single application to the joint degree, but are separately admitted by each program. Students fulfill the core courses, specializations, and exit requirements for both programs. Upon completion of these requirements, students are awarded two degrees, the MS from Public Relations, and the MAIR from International Relations. The two-degree program in Public Diplomacy/Communication provides students with these skills and the academic credentials from two highly visible schools at Syracuse University. PROGRAM SEQUENCE There are multiple ways to structure your dual degree program. Dual degree students must begin their studies in the summer semester. They usually spend the second summer off campus and the second spring semester in Washington, DC interning and completing courses public diplomacy courses at the SU Greenberg House. Students should consult with the Associate Director for Student Services in PAIA and their Newhouse School advisor to discuss options tailored to their individual needs. 29

33 EXECUTIVE MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION/EXECUTIVE MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS (EMPA/EMIR) JOINT DEGREE PROGRAM The dual EMPA/EMIR degree allows students the best of both worlds with a focus on executive-level public administration and international relations disciplines in an abbreviated course of study. Dual degree students earn the second degree concurrently, with a 30-credit primary focus of study and a 21- credit supplemental course of study. Students choose the primary (i.e. 30-credit) major and then pursue the credit and program requirements for the dual major. Students must meet requirements of both programs in order to be considered for the joint EMPA/EMIR degree. CONCURRENT DEGREE PROGRAMS IR students may arrange to complete the MAIR or EMIR and a second graduate degree on a concurrent basis. In cases where two or more distinct graduate degrees are to be awarded by Syracuse University to one student, the minimum number of credit hours needed must be at least 80% of the combined total of Syracuse credit-hours normally required for each of the separate degrees (this does not apply to official dual degree programs). All concurrent degree MAIR students will complete a minimum of 34 credits in international relations; concurrent degree EMIR students will complete a minimum of 24 credits in international relations. While just about any combination of areas of study is possible; some recent examples of concurrent degrees completed include graduate study in International Relations combined with Finance, Information Management, Political Science, Geography, History, and Management. Additionally, current graduate students enrolled in SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry may apply to obtain the MAIR/EMIR degree concurrently. SUNY ESF students must seek approval from their home program office in ESF prior to application to Maxwell. CONCURRENT DEGREE PROGRAM ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS Admission to the MAIR/EMIR program requires an application even if a student is already matriculated in another program. To be complete, the application must be current and accompanied by transcripts for all prior undergraduate and graduate work, graduate test scores (MAIR only), and letters of recommendation from Syracuse University faculty including approval from the other program's advisor. Instructions on how to apply internally to obtain a concurrent degree with the Department of Public Administration & International Affairs are available from the Department Office, 215 Eggers Hall. The application deadline is February 1. To pursue the MAIR/EMIR and another degree concurrently, a student should expect to be in residence at least one or two full academic semesters longer than if only one degree were being pursued. The Department of Public Administration & International Affairs offers courses to satisfy each core requirement on a regular basis, and at least once annually. The department, however, cannot guarantee that a course in every core area will be available during every semester. 31

34 CERTIFICATE OPTIONS To enhance the multidisciplinary nature of the International Relations degree program, Syracuse University also confers accredited academic certificates to students who complete the requirements of the discipline. Certificate programs serve to focus and complement students regular course of study within the MAIR/EMIR programs. Certificates can be obtained while completing the MAIR/EMIR degrees and may not require any additional time commitments. Note that a single course may only count toward two degree programs (Masters and Certificates included), and so a student pursuing more than two advanced programs of study (such as a dual degree student pursuing a certificate) may need to take additional courses beyond the two major programs to fulfill certificate requirements. Triple-counting of courses is not allowed. CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED STUDY IN CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS This graduate certificate program (Certificate of Advanced Studies in Civil Society Organizations) will recognize students who have sought to prepare themselves as professionals in the expanding field of non-governmental organizations, or who have focused their research interests on the roles of non-state actors in global civil society. CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED STUDY IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION The Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration (PARCC) offers a 12-credit Certificate of Advanced Study in Conflict Resolution that allows students to pursue in-depth study of conflict theory, concepts, and skills. To earn the certificate, students complete a required 3-credit course in the Fundamentals of Conflict Studies and 9 additional credits of graduate coursework selected with the guidance of an advisor. Students pursuing the certificate may choose a general program of study or concentrate their classes in a specific area of interest (such as advocacy and activism; collaborative governance; environmental collaboration and conflict; or international and intra-state conflict). Through a carefully planned course of study, graduate students can earn this certificate within the normal time frame and credit requirements of their degree program. The certificate is also available as a stand-alone option, and matriculation in a graduate degree program at SU is not necessary for application.

35 hosted by the Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs. Both centers have been working over the last several years in spreading knowledge about Europe through support for the teaching of less commonly taught European languages (e.g., Arabic, Hebrew, Polish, Portuguese, Turkish), grants for graduate students to conduct research in Europe and master's students to do semester-long internships in Europe, lectures and debates with visiting scholars and EU officials, and an annual EU Simulation and graduate student conference.

40 PREPARING TO GO As most Global Programs involve international travel and/or professional internships, it is imperative that you plan for your participation in these programs in advance. All programs require students to submit applications and expressions of intent during the fall semester and have strict deadlines. While many programs have early spring deadlines, we recommend that you commit to a program by the end of your first fall semester. You may consider as many programs as you wish, but are only able to apply to one program offered through SU Abroad at a time. At the same time, you will be working with the PAIA office and Center for Career Development staff to identify and apply for internship opportunities. Many students plans remain fairly flexible while they receive internship offers and evaluate their plans based upon the location and duties of their internship. The table below illustrates the two-track process of applying to Maxwell School Global Program and international relations internships. PROGRAM APPLICATION: Attend Information Sessions Select Programs Apply Decisions by mid-november Commit to Program INTERNSHIP APPLICATION: Meet with Career Development and the Global Programs Coordinator Identify at least 30 Organizations of Interest Apply for Relevant Internships Negotiate and Accept Offer Get Packing!!

44 MAXWELL ALUMNI NETWORK Maxwell School alumni are invaluable resources for information and advice. The Center for Career Development and Alumni Relations suggests all students join the Maxwell Group on LinkedIn where you ll find over 5,000 alumni willing to network with students and share information about their career fields. As a student of The Maxwell School, you have become part of a large network of students, faculty and alumni who can play a significant role in your professional development. However, with membership in this network comes a significant responsibility to respect and appreciate each individual in the network. In this spirit, we have developed a Maxwell Networking Code of Conduct to ensure that each student abides by these basic principles of professional and ethical behavior. Networking Code of Conduct RESPECT THE INDIVIDUAL: Respect your contact. Seek out only those individuals most appropriate for you and be clear about the information you are seeking. Note how they want to be contacted and only call people at times that are convenient for them. Be concise and prepare your questions ahead so that you do not take up much of their time. Respect their privacy; for example, don t ask how much they make. Ask for approval before you use a person s name as a referral to get to someone else. MANAGE EXPECTATIONS: Networking should not be used to ask for a job or internship, but should allow you to gain the knowledge needed about a specific field or organization. Ask for advice or contacts, not a position. Have realistic expectations of the time and assistance that your contact can provide. You should be well prepared for interviews and be clear about your interest in the field/position/organization. Promise only what you can deliver. Follow through on your promises. PROTOCOL: Include Maxwell in your subject line so the reader knows that the message is from a Maxwell student. Introduce yourself including your Maxwell degree program and your area of concentration. Indicate where you found their name, and acknowledge that you know they are busy. Use good grammar and spell-check your message. Be polite and be concise. Your initial message should not be more than one or two very short paragraphs. Good first impressions are essential for establishing strong networking relationships. PRESENT YOURSELF APPROPRIATELY: Dress professionally for networking events, information sessions and interviews. RSVP for event by date noted. Err on the side of conservative dress (at least neat business casual if not formal suits). Ensure that all information in your resume is truthful and accurate. Speak truthfully about your education, skills and experiences. Be clear about your intentions and expectations. BE GRACIOUS: Express your appreciation of a contact s assistance through ed or hand-written thank you notes. Follow up soon after a meeting or event. Even if their advice did not prove helpful, you should thank them for their time and consideration. Maintain these relationships and show your gratitude by periodically following up with contacts you have made in the past. POSITION PROTOCOL: If networking leads to the offer of a position do not wait too long to respond to an offer; if you need more time to make a decision you should discuss this with the organization and decide on a date by which you will respond. Do not interview for positions that you do not intend to accept. Do not accept positions and later decline the offer. By doing so you are preventing others from being considered for that position and giving Maxwell students a bad reputation. Do not interview for positions with other organizations once you have accepted an offer. Inform other organizations that you have been interviewing with when you have accepted another offer. 42

The course covers the following major topics: A review of macroeconomic models relevant to developing and transition economies, featuring specific structural features of their labor and financial markets and a focus on fiscal rigidities; Special attention is given to the fiscal, monetary and exchange rate policy tradeoffs amidst international capital flows; Problems of short-run macroeconomic management during periods of trade, price and financial liberalization are analyzed, including the debate on the sequencing of reforms; Also examined is the role of political factors in the adoption and abandonment of stabilization and structural adjustment programs; The course reviews the political economy of adjustment and the conditions for sustained economic growth. Any Any Fall 45

48 PAI 601 PAI 684 PAI 700 PAI 704* Fundamentals of Conflict Studies The goals of this class are to provide students with a broad overview of the interdisciplinary field of conflict analysis and resolution, to introduce them to faculty and the work they are doing in this field, and to help them to develop a framework for diagnosing and responding to conflicts within their own area of interest. Over the course of the semester we will explore the diverse range of (sometimes contradictory) theories of social conflict found across the social science disciplines. Of particular interest throughout the course will be uncovering how our theories about the nature of social conflicts result in our making particular choices about which conflict resolution activities make sense under which conditions. Relying on a number of guest speakers, documentaries, and group projects, we will consider how conflict manifests across multiple levels of analysis (from inter-group to international) as well as within specific topical areas (ethnic/racial, environmental, foreign policy etc.). This course satisfies a core requirement for the PARCC Certificate of Advanced Studies in Applied Conflict Resolution. International Relations of the Middle East The international relations of the Middle East are primarily characterized as mired unendingly in conflict and political underdevelopment. Rich natural resources, external interventions, wars, local political upheavals, and sectarian tension anchor the region's history. The competing claims of nationalist, secular, and religious movements that struggle against military-backed authoritarian regimes complicate the assessment of historical and political causes. This course's objective is to introduce some of the central issues of contemporary Middle Eastern politics while discussing the region within the larger framework of international relations theory. The course will ideally demonstrate the interconnectedness of regional and international political forces. Students will learn the unique internal and external factors that contributed to the emergence of the Middle East state system as well as how these forces continue to influence the region's politics. Crisis Management This course examines leadership, cooperation, and conflict in times of crisis. An emphasis is placed on understanding the key dynamics that influence the way that decision makers perceive and respond to crises and the kinds of processes that facilitate constructive crisis management. Real life case illustrations, exercises, and simulations are used to give participants an interactive experience and a realistic understanding of the limitations and opportunities that arise in high-pressure crisis management situations. The course familiarizes students with contrasting points of view on crisis management from across disciplinary boundaries; in particular, international relations, public administration, and public communication. Students write a case study on a crisis of their choosing that follows a pre-set research methodology developed at the Maxwell School. Quantitative Skills in International Relations The diverse sources and methods used to collect data upon which decisions are made. Course aimed to help train IR professionals in tools needed to better develop and implement programs and policies. PRE-REQUISITE: Successful completion of web-based math exams in algebra and geometry, or attendance in the math review session(s) held prior to the start of the fall term is required for registration in this course. Fall/Spring Spring Spring Fall/Spring 46

49 PAI 705* PAI 707 PAI 710* PAI 713 PAI 715 PAI 716 Research Design for IR Practitioners The course will provide an overview of how social science research is conducted and how it can be used in policy-making in international affairs. It is based on the assumption that good policy-making and program design should be evidence-based, and that those designing, implementing, and evaluating these policies should have a grounding in how social scientific research is conducted, and what separates good research from bad research, to ensure that students can be intelligent consumers of research on international affairs. Culture in World Affairs A systematic survey of the ways in which local, organizational, and transnational issues in world affairs are affected by culture. International Actors & Issues Policy makers generally do not explicitly articulate theoretical arguments, but policies are informed by inter-disciplinary conceptions of politics and the nature of the international system. This course seeks to explore how three central approaches can be used to understand core problems confronting policy makers, and how these different approaches will typically, although not always, generate conflicting policy advice. These perspectives can be traced back to social science theories. Our goal in the course is to use these approaches as a practice-oriented framework for analyzing current international problems, exploring their causes, investigating who can or should address these problems, and what solutions exist. By applying multiple perspectives to each case, we hope to explore the complexities confronting policy makers in seeking to manage or resolve international problems in a range of areas. We will look at three types of international issues: security issues, economic issues, and human rights/environmental issues. In examining different issues, we will consider a range of actors active on the international stage, and their resources and influence on policy issues. Governance and Global Civil Society Survey of perspectives and literatures on global civil society organizations and transnational NGOs. Begins the process of integrating these literatures through critical analysis. Globalization and Development Courses (in DC) These courses will meet in Washington, DC at the Greenberg House, evenings, throughout the fall semester. Past courses have included: Strengthening Inter-agency Negotiations; Global Trade and Developing Markets; NGO Leadership; and Global Development Policy. Offerings will vary from year to year. These courses are targeted toward joint MPA/MA in International Relations students who will be in residence for two years and participating in a Fall internship in Washington, DC. Traditional PA graduate students may not be able to take advantage of a fall semester away from campus if core courses are required in that term. Economic Dimensions of Global Power Explores the ways in which growing economic interdependence shifts in the locus of global wealth; and ongoing technological change affect the ability of state and non-state actors to exert influence.

The course will devote considerable attention to the applied side of post-conflict reconstruction; that is, the techniques and tools used by international intermediaries (states, IOs and NGOs) as well as local stakeholders to transition societies from violence to sustainable peace. It will also address many of the key issues that frame the debate in post-conflict reconstruction work: the tension between externally and internally generated recovery efforts; the possibilities and weaknesses of formal peace and reconciliation commissions; the challenges of civilian-military cooperation in post-conflict zones; the trade-offs between stability and liberty; and the quest for viable exit strategies for international actors. Principles of Economics Broad-based background in both micro- and macro-economics for MAIR students whose career aspirations do not require substantial training in these economics specialties.

51 PAI 730 PAI 730 PAI 730 Digital Government This course provides an overview of the contemporary practices for managing the information assets of public sector organizations. The course highlights the challenges of managing the information assets of government organizations in a networked economy, practical applications for building the information capabilities of organizations, and understanding the information infrastructure. The special foci of this course are current topics, such as Web 2.0 applications in public sector organizations. Students will examine through active learning exercises how management, technology and organizational components work together to create information systems in order to understand the behavioral aspects of IT usage in government. The course is mainly focused on IT management aspects and makes therefore no assumptions about the student s prior experience with computer hardware, software, and telecommunications. Central Challenges to National Security Law & Policy Using a series of case study modules that jump off the front page, the course examines critically the hardest U.S. national security law and policy challenges of the decades ahead. The case studies range from decisions to intervene and what laws apply if we do intervene in humanitarian crises, insurrections, or civil wars, and what laws should govern when we are involved; dealing with the Arab Spring; dealing with Iran and North Korea related to nuclear weapons; anticipating and controlling new technologies in warfare and surveillance; managing civil/military relations in protecting the homeland; countering the cyber threats to our infrastructure and cyber-attacks waged by nation states, such as China and Russia; managing public health as a national security issue; resource depletion and global warming as a national security issue. Managing Individual / Group / Systemic Conflict This course will introduce the suite of skills embedded in the collaborative manager s capacity to pre-empt, prevent and manage conflict at the individual, group and system levels in a manner consistent with least cost, highest involvement, and greatest satisfaction with results. Deep understanding of the spectrum of options for addressing conflict will be achieved, focusing on acquiring the voluntary dispute resolution skills of interest-based negotiation and problem solving; mediation of disputes; facilitation of group development and performance; high engagement meeting design and implementation; and dispute systems design to introduce more opportunities for the systematic use of these voluntary dispute resolution processes within organizations and systems. The course will offer the theoretical foundation for the evolution of voluntary resolution and will focus on handing off the skills to class participants through highly interactive practicums. Successful accomplishment of this course will be a necessary requirement for consideration as a PARCC intern when facilitation opportunities arise within the local client community.

52 PAI 730 PAI 730 PAI 730 PAI 730 Social Policy: Financing the Poor Financial services enable families to achieve their most important goals: educating their children, gaining access to health care, investing in income generating activities, providing for old age, and smoothing consumption over time. In addition, a wide variety of social, post-conflict, emergency and disaster relief, and income support programs target the poor in income transfers. Understanding the role of informal finance and the design of financial interventions in the lives of the general population can help policy makers increase the impact of programs and policies in the fields of environment, health, social services, small business promotion, and education. This course familiarizes students with programs that offer credit, savings, insurance, and money transfer services to poor families in emerging markets and the impact these have on their lives. The tools to meet social policy objectives like conditional cash transfers to encourage health and educational goals, individual asset (savings) accounts that are provided by governments at birth, payments for environmental services, food for work, the conversion of welfare grants into economic activities, and the use of mobile phone based financial service to get financial resources into the hands of families hit by natural disaster will be analyzed. The majority of cases will be drawn from emerging economies. Latin America s Crisis of Citizen Security Over the past 30 years, Latin America has experienced remarkable progress in poverty and inequality reduction, and in economic growth and financial stability. Despite its salient performance, at the same time the region has also paradoxically experienced rapidly increasing levels of violence and crime. The result is that citizen insecurity has now become the primary obstacle for Latin American development. The purpose of this course is to allow students to begin to understand what explains the state of insecurity in Latin America, as well as its economic and social costs. Based on best practices, we will explore possible public policy solutions to this growing crisis. Contemporary U.S.-Mexico Relations Few countries matter as much to one another as the United States and Mexico, and yet understand one another so little. Beyond trade integration, and the headline-grabbing challenges of migration and organized crime, each country is pivotal to the other s capacity to protect public health, provide environmental protection, promote growth and create jobs, and enhance global economic competitiveness. The purpose of this course is to help students understand Mexico better, in part through familiarity with the history of U.S.-Mexico relations; to illuminate the international and domestic drivers of this peculiar bilateral relationship; and to consider current challenges and opportunities, and how these are apt to shape the future relationship. Civil Wars & State Building Why do civil wars occur? What explains patterns of violence and displacement? How do wars end? How do state institutions influence the likelihood of civil war and how are they affected by civil wars. This course will introduce students to a variety of questions on and approaches to the study of civil wars and state-building. It will be organized around three dimensions of civil wars: onset, dynamics, and termination, with a focus on the implications of and for state-building. Students will choose one case of interest and study how cutting-edge research applies to aspects of that case throughout the semester. Fall Fall Fall Fall 50

53 PAI 730 PPA 730 PAI 730 Business and Government in the Global Economy: The Asian Experience This course examines the interface between business and government in Asian development in the context of a changing international economy. Globalization through the impact on the organization and location of the production of goods and services is changing the nature of international business and competition, with important implications for the relationship between business and government. This is presenting both opportunities and challenges to government policy aimed at accelerating the development of Asian economies. The course blends problem-oriented case studies with lectures, background readings, and role-playing; and will be valuable for students with an interest in business-government relations; in economic development, particularly in Asia; and in the on-going challenges of globalization for developing economies. Homeland Security: State and Local Government Preparedness and Response This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of state and local governments, the public safety functions that they provide, and the critical leadership competencies and collaborative relationships necessary for their successful management. Class lectures will address applicable theories and concepts, which students will then explore in current events and periodicals. The following areas will be addressed (1) Roles of state and local governments in the US federal system; (2) Political and social aspects of preparedness and response functions; (3) Structures of state and local governments and management implications; and (4) Public safety services and functions provided by federal, state and local governments. Health and Development This class investigates the relationship between economic change and health status at global, regional, and national levels. After explication of the major social scientific theories of health development in terms of epidemiological patterns and historical philosophies of intervention, the course considers a set of case studies from politically and economically disparate contexts. Taking a contextualized, population-level perspective across these cases of health development intervention, the course argues that health policy, economic policy, and political action are inextricable from one another that improving global health requires the redress of global political and economic inequalities, and vice versa. Winter Winter Spring PAI 730 Collaborative and Participatory Governance This course explores the theory and practice of collaborative and participatory governance in public administration and policy making. Students will learn about: 1) the major concepts, theories, and debates regarding collaboration and participation; 2) examples of collaboration and participation in various policy domains and at all levels of government around the world; and 3) the analytical tools and practical skills needed to engage in collaborative and participatory governance. At the end of the course, students should be better equipped to understand where, when, why and how to use collaborative and participatory governance strategies in the practical world of public administration and policy.

This course will focus on how to build the policy and institutional infrastructure for delivering financial services that serve the poor. This course familiarizes students with programs that offer credit, savings, insurance, and money transfer services to poor families in emerging markets and the impact these have on their lives. Topics include microcredit, microfinance, and the emerging consensus around building inclusive financial systems that was recently endorsed by the G20. We will cover the design of high value products for poor households, building sustainable institutions, and creating an inclusive financial ecosystem. We will look closely at the role of government, non-profits, and international organizations in promoting access to finance as part of an overall effort to promote economic progress. The majority of cases will be drawn from emerging economies. US Intelligence Community: Governance & Practice, 1947-present The range of activities by all elements of the Intelligence Community from postwar origins through the Cold War; intelligence operations, governance and assessment, reform and growth since This course will examine the evolution of the U.S. Intelligence Community (I.C.) since its inception in 1947 through the present day. Key phases and specific events will be explored, including I.C. efforts throughout the Cold War, The Cuban Missile Crisis, The Vietnam Conflict, the Church Committee, the Balkans Conflicts, pre and post-9/11 operations, the 911 and WMD Commissions and the subsequent legislative overhaul mandated by the Congress in The course will also review governance and oversight of the I.C., including roles of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government. In addition to understanding the development of the I.C., students will study the functional elements of intelligence tradecraft (human intelligence, signals intelligence, imagery analysis, etc.), and engagement with international counterparts. The class will participate in case studies, in which the students will evaluate, provide briefings and recommend decisions in realistic scenarios, both in terms of analysis and intelligencedriven decision-making on policy and operational matters. US Defense Strategy, Military Posture & Combat Operations, 2001 present Governance and execution of National strategy by the Department of Defense, the Joint Staff and Combatant Commanders; national command and control of military forces; case studies of joint and combined operations overseas. This course will examine the Defense Strategy of the U.S. and its allies, and its implementation by military forces from 2001 to the present. Students will study national-level strategic guidance from the National Command Authority, and understand how national security is carried out by the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Combatant Commanders and subordinate units. International security dynamics and military posture related to terrorism and proliferation of nuclear and other weapons of mass effect will also be examined. Students will participate in specific case studies of planning and execution of combat and humanitarian assistance operations with allied forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, Haiti, the Far East, Colombia, and on the high seas.

Additionally, students will gain practical skills in strategic planning, risk management, human resource development, outcome measurement, financial health and board development. Students should NOT enroll in this course and PAI 763: Managing NGO s in Transitional and Developing Countries due to substantial content overlap. Policy and Administration in Developing Countries This course will familiarize students with major players, policies and issues in international development cooperation/foreign aid. It includes an overview of development theories, development ethics, development finance, types of development/aid organizations (multilaterals, bi-laterals, NGOs, etc.), aid modalities, challenges of aid effectiveness, and selected topics such as good governance or fragile states. The goal is to enable students to understand the roles and comparative advantages of major development actors and instruments, as well as critically assess current development debates, policies and reform efforts. Economics of Development This course (cross-listed in the economics dept.) will familiarize the student with a variety of alternative theories on what causes (or hinders) economic development. Different strategies and outcomes from a variety of settings will be presented and discussed. The goal of the course is to develop the student s understanding of international, national, sectoral, local, and household level issues related to economic development and the language used by economists to discuss these issues. Special attention will be given to the following questions: Are there differences between economic growth and economic development? What are the environmental implications of economic development?; and How are industrial/urban needs balanced against agricultural/rural needs in development? PRE-REQUISITE: PAI 723 Economics for Public Decisions, or PAI 897 Fundamentals of Policy Analysis or an equivalent. Public Finance: A Comparative Perspective This course covers the financial systems, revenue and expenditure of major advanced economies and some representative transitional / developing economies.

56 PAI 759 PAI 762* PAI 763 PAI 764 Girls Education in a Developing World Education of girls is one of the most effective means of enhancing the quality of life of all people in the world. Yet in many countries, girls' participation in school lags significantly behind that of boys. This seminar type course will explore the benefits of girls education, will discuss many of the obstacles to higher numbers of girls in school, and will review the current state of play in various countries. The major student work project of the semester will be to write a business plan for how one specific country could take measures to significantly raise the numbers of girls in school. Challenges of International Management and Leadership Preparation for careers leading and managing organizations in a global environment. Students will think strategically about organizations and gain skills and competencies that effective leaders of all types of organizations need. Required management core for MAIR students. Managing NGO s in Transitional and Developing Countries The later stages of the 20 th century experienced a remarkable rise in the number and types of non-government organizations (NGOs) active in the developing world. The purpose of this course is to provide the students with some insight into the variety of roles that these organizations play in civil society while laying out some of the knowledge and skills required to operate NGOs effectively. Using mini-lectures, case studies, and a simulated project development exercise, the course will cover a broad range of topics including the origins of NGOs, how they are defined, their influences and how they are influenced, NGO boards, governance mechanisms, organizational structures, how NGOs develop a sense of mission and develop programs and projects in support of that mission, and how NGOs generate financial resources and sustain their projects and the organization. Students should NOT enroll in both this course and PAI 748: Nonprofit Management and Governance due to significant course content overlap. UN Organizations: Managing for Change This course analyzes the processes for change in UN organizations. It begins with brief summaries of types of UN organizations, including their purposes, funding systems and governance structures. Half of the course will focus on the process of change in UN organizations funded by assessed contributions, highlighting the UN secretariat. The other half of the course will highlight the World Food Program as an example of the process of change in a voluntarily funded agency. Students will be graded on class participation, memos, a final paper, and occasional unannounced in class assignments.

Classes are a combination of lecture, discussion, student presentations, and videos. Students are graded on their class participation, memos, group and individual presentations. There is a course fee associated with registration for this class to fund a mandatory field trip to the UN. Energy, Environment and Resources Policy This course analyzes the relation of government to policymaking in the domain of energy, environment, and resources. Attention is given to politics and administration of energy/environment/resources policy in the US at all levels of government. Comparative and international aspects of the problem are also examined. Particular emphasis is given to environmental policy and the processes by which policy is formulated, implemented and modified. Economics of Environmental Policy In this course, we will apply the principles of economics to environmental problems. The main question in any economics course is how best to allocate scarce resources. This holds true for environmental economics as well. However, environmental resources differ from many other goods that economists study in that there is usually no market for them. Thus, government policies are needed to maintain and improve environmental quality. We will begin by examining how economic incentives lead to environmental problems, and discussing various options for dealing with these problems. Because economic analysis requires information on both cost and benefits, we next discuss methods for valuing the benefits of environmental amenities. The course concludes with a section that relates the lessons of environmental economics to the macro-economy, with a focus on the effects of environmental policy and economic growth. PRE-REQUISITE: PAI 723 Economics for Public Decisions, or PAI 897 Fundamentals of Policy Analysis or an equivalent. Independent Study (see Independent Study section for more details) Executive Education Seminar: Managerial Leadership Objectives are to establish an understanding of the schools of leadership thinking, especially current trends, to practice requisite skills, and to plan for additional learning and development through assessment and action planning.

Although the principles of economics are relied upon heavily in the course, no prior training in the subject is assumed. Open to EMPA Students ONLY. Master s Project Course Completion of the 3-credit Master's Project Course (PPA 996) meets the University's comprehensive requirement for a master s program. Highly diverse student project teams are organized around a public policy issue. Projects typically are expected to provide an internationally comparative perspective while developing a policy recommendation. The course is an opportunity for students to apply knowledge acquired through study to a policy and organizational issue of professional relevance. While the project deliverable focuses on a public policy issue, the course also emphasizes issues of team management within highly diverse work force settings. Sessions on project management and group dynamics support the teams as they work over the semester with faculty advisors to complete their project. A final oral presentation is presented to a panel of faculty and a written report is presented to faculty advisor. Open to EMPA and EMIR Students ONLY.

64 ACADEMIC STANDARDS GRADING SYSTEM The grading system at Syracuse University includes the following options: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, F. Grade points for each of the symbols used for graduate students are outlined in the adjoining table. Passing grades for graduate students are all grades within the general A, B, and C categories. Since Graduate School rules require at least a 3.0 average for work comprising the student's entire program, a grade of B- or lower in any course should be regarded as a strong warning that work in the course was below faculty expectations. The symbol of I (Incomplete) may be granted to a student only if it can be demonstrated that it would be unfair to hold the student to the normal time limits of the course. Illness or other exceptional circumstances are the usual basis for consideration. Students should not assume that an incomplete will be granted automatically upon request. Rather, a student who believes that her or his circumstances warrant an incomplete is advised to consult with the course instructor. To receive an incomplete, a student must complete a Request for Incomplete form, and obtain the instructor's approval. The completed and signed Request for Incomplete is then submitted to the chairperson of the department offering the course. An incomplete is calculated as an F in the GPA until a grade is recorded for the course. GRADE VALUES GRADE POINTS GRADE PER CREDIT A superior 4.0 A- range B+ good B range 3.0 B C+ below C expectations 2.0 C F failure 0 I incomplete 0 STATEMENT ON PLAGIARISM Syracuse University s academic integrity policy and procedures are administered by the Academic Integrity Office in the Division of Academic Affairs. A detailed description of the academic integrity expectations of every community member at Syracuse University is provided in the University s Academic Rules (available online at Our Department takes these expectations very seriously. The presumptive penalty for any act of academic dishonesty by a graduate student is suspension or expulsion from the university. Plagiarism, i.e., the presentation as one's own work the words, ideas, and opinions of someone else, is a serious concern in any academic setting. This University, like all academic institutions in the United States, assumes that the written work of a student is literally the student's own, and that any original idea or research contributions taken from the published works of others will be properly acknowledged. When any material is taken directly from a published source, it must be appropriately cited. If a statement is used verbatim, it must be enclosed in quotation marks, as well as otherwise acknowledged. Syracuse University, through its various colleges and departments, will readily refer students to writing and style manuals that are universally recognized as acceptable by scholars and that very adequately demonstrate how students should handle the issue of proper citation of material. Examples of such works include the student manual distributed by the English Department of Syracuse University, A Manual for Writers by K. Turabian, and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. 62

65 SERVICES, FACILITIES and STUDENT ACTIVITIES CAREER DEVELOPMENT Throughout the year, Career Development provides many opportunities for students to participate in career-related workshops, employer visits, and networking opportunities. Job, internship, and fellowship opportunities in federal, state and local government agencies, notfor-profits and non-governmental organizations, private organizations, and international agencies are regularly posted on the web-accessible Maxwell Career Management System. Additionally, students can discuss their career goals and establish a career action plan with a professional staff member. The Maxwell School alumni network covers a wide variety of domestic and international agencies and organizations, and is a significant resource for those seeking information about organizations and/or networking for a job. Nearly 3,000 Maxwell alumni now participate in the Maxwell School LinkedIn Group and are happy to speak with graduate students and alumni about their career interests and job search process. In addition, many alumni visit the school during the course of the year to speak in classes and participate in workshops and in panel discussions. These alumni are also an important part of the network and are happy to talk informally with students. Recognizing that an individual s career will evolve throughout her/his lifetime, Career Development emphasizes development of the skills necessary to adapt to the changing work world. Each student is ultimately responsible for seeking and securing employment and must take ownership of and exercise professional responsibility for fulfilling his/her own career ambitions.
