MODULE DESCRIPTION: This module examines the theories of International Relations that define the discipline, moving from the traditional approaches of Realism, Liberalism, and the English School, through Constructivism and Marxism/Critical Theory, into the more recent Poststructuralist and Feminist approaches. The course will take students through the history of each theoretical tradition, its underlying assumptions and concepts, and how it can be used to explain contemporary issues such as globalization and the War on Terror. The theories will be compared and contrasted to draw out their strengths and weaknesses. MODULE AIMS: The module aims to: provide students with a basic understanding of key concepts in the discipline International Relations (IR); to introduce students to current debates in IR; to give students the opportunity to analyse current international problems through an understanding of the nature of the international political system; to equip students with basic intellectual skills (e.g. critical thinking, analysis, problem solving), as well as communication skills. LEARNING OUTCOMES: On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: understand the main approaches to the study of IR, including current theoretical developments in the discipline; understand the relationship between the academic analysis of international relations and the actual behaviour (e.g. foreign policy and diplomacy) of states; communicate ideas to others in a clear and concise manner, both orally and in written form; pursue intellectual questions in a rigorous and academic manner, employing analytical skills and critical thinking.

Time Management: ability to negotiate diverse and competing pressures; cope with stress; and achieve a work / life balance Technical and practical skills Information Technology: demonstrate the knowledge and ability to use contemporary and relevant ICT Organizational skills Efficient and effective work practice: demonstrate ability to work efficiently to deadlines Clear organisation of information: show efficiency in the organisation of large amounts of complex information and the ability to identify, describe and analyse the key features of the information Organisation and communication: demonstrate ability to use evidence to develop logical and clear argument; show aptitude for the effective use of information in a direct and appropriate way Enterprising thinking: Demonstrate ability to think and argue in novel and enterprising ways, to display originality of thought and argument and the ability to clearly support arguments in innovative ways Assessment The assessment structure for this module is as follows: Tutorial Participation: 10% Coursework (Essay): 35% Examination: 55% 1. Attendance and Tutorial Participation Students must attend one lecture per week Students must attend one tutorial per week Students receive a mark out of 10 for their participation and general contribution to tutorials on all undergraduate modules excluding the dissertation, internship or project. This mark will count as 10% of the overall mark for the module. Marks will be awarded for individuals not groups. No more than 5% of tutorial marks should be allocated for tutorial presentations, should these be used by the tutor. For further details, see the School s Undergraduate Student Handbook. This module is worth 10 credits on the ECTS scale (equivalent to 20 Queen s University CATS points, Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme). This is calculated by the University as the equivalent of 200 hours academic study over the course of the semester (12 teaching weeks plus the three week examination period). Students should therefore expect to spend on average at least 13 hours each week undertaking academic study associated with this module. 2. Coursework Assignments The second element of assessment will be an essay worth 35% of the overall mark. This should be fully referenced and must contain a complete bibliography. It should be 1500-2000 words in length, and this does not include references and bibliography. 3
The submission deadline is: 12 noon on Wednesday 30 March The successful submission of assignments is a two stage process: 1. You must upload an electronic copy of your assignment onto the TurnitinUK website prior to the deadline indicated below. 2. A single copy of each assessed assignment must be submitted to the School Office (21 University Square) on or before 1200 noon on the due date indicated above. Info on TurnitinUK is available at: https://submit.ac.uk/static_jisc/ac_uk_index.html A link to this website is also provided in the School webpages (see Education ) To upload your coursework you will need: the password: PISP and The Class ID no.: 198340 When submitting an assessed assignment, you must complete and sign an Essay Cover Sheet available from the School Office. The School uses a system of anonymous marking so do not include your name on the assignment. All assignments are retained by the School for scrutiny by internal and external examiners. All assignments submitted after the deadline will be penalized 5 percentage points per day after 12 noon. Marks cannot be awarded twice for the same piece of work: Exam answers must not repeat answers already submitted as essays. Any answer reproducing work previously submitted for assessment will be awarded a mark of ZERO. The module convenor will be happy to clarify what constitutes unacceptable repetition of module material. 3. Examination The third element of assessment will be an examination worth 55% of the overall mark. It will be two hours long and involve students answering two questions from a choice of six. Assignment Questions Essays must be chosen from the list below and must not exceed 1,500-2,000 words in length. They must be fully referenced and contain a complete bibliography. Marks will be lost if these criteria are not fulfilled. Realism is simply no longer realistic. Discuss. Have Neo-Realism and Neo-Liberalism formed a Neo-Neo Synthesis or do they contain significant differences? Liberalism in International Relations can be summed up by the phrase institutions matter. Discuss. How significant is the English School s contribution to the study of International Relations? Is there a Marxist approach to International Relations, or does it require the subsequent development provided by Critical Theory? How important are EITHER norms OR identities in the practice of international relations? 4
Submission of assignments A single copy of each assessed assignment must be submitted to the School Office (21 University Square) on or before 1200 noon on the due date indicated above.

Conceptual Equivalents Marking Scale The School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy uses the University s conceptual equivalent marking scheme for all undergraduate assessment. Individual pieces of work are allocated a discrete mark. For further information on the University s conceptual equivalent marking scheme and the marks used, see the School s Undergraduate Student Handbook. This is available from the School Office and will be posted on the resources page on QOL for each module. This is University s conceptual equivalent marking scale can also be accessed on line at: www.qub.ac.uk/pisp/education/undergraduates/assessment/. Feedback The School is committed to return feedback to students within three weeks of the deadline for submission of coursework. Module convenors will not mark in advance assignments for students to revise before submission, however, you are encouraged to seek oral feedback and discuss your assignments in advance with your instructors. It is important that students who submit their essays by the deadline receive feedback in a timely fashion so that they can properly prepare for their exams or further assignments. Students can therefore expect to receive feedback on their essays within no later than 3 weeks of the submission deadline (this policy does not apply to students who submit their coursework after the deadline). Students will be able to access their essay report sheets electronically via QOL (the report sheets for your tutorial group will be posted under the Resources application of your tutorial group on the QOL module page. Your specific report sheet is identified by your student number). If students have not received feedback within 3 weeks of the deadline, they should contact their module convenor directly. Students who wish to discuss their grade should do so with the convenor during his or her office hours Failed Modules and Resits (UG) Where students fail a module at first attempt, QUB regulations allow them to re-sit exams and/or re-submit coursework. The maximum mark that may be awarded in such instances will be 40% and will be recorded as a PH (i.e. capped) mark. The following norms apply: 5
On a module assessed by examination only, the student will have to re-sit the examination. On a module with mixed assessment, the student will have to re-submit the failed element. On a module assessed by two submitted essays, the student will have to submit a new essay (or new essays) on a differen topic on any failed elements. The deadline for submission of resit coursework will, unless otherwise agreed, be the first day of the Supplementary (Resit) Examination Period: Monday 15 th August 2011 (by 1200 noon). It is the student s responsibility to find out about re-sits and resubmissions. For more information please see your postgraduate student handbook.

[M, SH: JX1242/ZEHF] Summary of Module Review (2009-10) Overall the module achieved its learning outcomes and this was reflected in the very positive student evaluations. The module structure, organisation, assessment and content will not change substantially as the evaluations suggested these had been successful, with 81% of students rating the module good or excellent. However, taking account of student comments, there will be more attention paid to the performance of tutors and the content of tutorials. School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy Student Handbook This module guide should be read in conjunction with the Undergraduate Student Handbook which contains important details of School policies.
