PLSC 22900: The Theory and Practice of International Cooperation
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
Cooperation is often difficult, but it is nevertheless a central element of international politics. This course develops the theory of international cooperation, moving from basic assumptions about international politics through the role of international institutions and the limitations of the analysis. Students are required to apply the theory by analyzing the development (or failure) of international cooperation in some international issue area. D. Snidal. Spring. ( D)

PLSC 24901 /40710: Punishment and Social Theory
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
Since the modern period, the discourse on punishment has cycled through three sets of questions. The first, born of the Enlightenment itself, inquired into the foundations of the sovereign's right to punish. With the birth of social sciences and critical theory, a second set of questions arose exploring the function of punishment: What is it that we do when we punish A series of further critiques of meta-narratives, of functionalism, and of scientific objectivity softened this line of inquiry and helped shape a third question: What is the cultural meaning of our punishment practices Through readings in social and political theory (e.g., Durkheim, Foucault, the Frankfurt School; more contemporary writings on punishment), we explore these modern debates over punishment practices and institutions.

PLSC 24902 /40702: Theories of Criminalization:Vice,Harm,and Morality
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course focuses on the history and policy shifts in six areas usually regarded as "vice crimes": drugs, disapproved sexual behavior, gambling, pornography, prostitution, and alcohol. Over the past half century, huge changes in law and law enforcement practices have been common in this area, and not all in the same direction. Decriminalization is common for gambling and pornography, but a huge war on drugs increased the prison population from drug crime ten-fold in the United States during the last generation. Why What is likely to happen next Are there differences of principle or only of politics informing radically different recent events and transnational variations B. Harcourt. Winter. (B)

PLSC 25300: American Political Parties
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course introduces the nature and function of American political parties. We concentrate on two main themes. First, we explore the origins of the American party system. Topics include the origin of America's ambivalence toward political parties, the emergence of parties in the United States, and the institutional foundations of America' s two-party system. Second, we investigate the role that political parties play as intermediary institutions between the public and their elected officials. Our studies focus on the role of political parties in the organization of elections and the government. More advanced topics include political realignments, divided government, and the decline of parties hypothesis . J. Grynaviski. Spring. (B)

PLSC 26000: Race and Politics
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course explores how race, both historically and currently, influences politics in the United States. For example, is there something unique about the politics of African Americans Does the idea and lived experience of whiteness shape one's political behavior Throughout the quarter, students interrogate the way scholars, primarily in the field of American politics, have ignored, conceptualized, measured, modeled, and sometimes fully engaged the concept of race. We examine the multiple manifestations of race in the political domain, both as it functions alone and as it intersects with other identities (e.g., gender, class, sexuality). M. Dawson. Winter. (B)
