This course has two major components. The first is a game theoretic analysis of international conflict, based on the work of Nobel Laureate Thomas Schelling, and illustrated by examining the cold war in film. Students will also engage in an extended geopolitical game (Diplomacy ), in which Schelling's insights will be apparent regarding mutually beneficial exchanges between adversaries, tacit coordination with scant information, as well as credible and non-credible threats. The second topic will be the political economy of terrorism, which will cover such topics as positive and negative externalities resulting from anti-terrorist activities, substitution between terrorist tactics, and the implications of religious as opposed to political terror. These principles will also be illustrated in films we will view. Prerequisite: Economics 801 and Economics 803 or Permission of Instructor 1.00 units, Seminar

This course introduces the study of schooling within an interdisciplinary framework. Drawing upon sociology, we investigate the resources, structures, and social contexts which influence student opportunities and outcomes in the United States and other countries. Drawing upon psychology, we contrast theories of learning, both in the abstract and in practice. Drawing upon philosophy, we examine competing educational goals and their underlying assumptions regarding human nature, justice, and democracy. In addition, a community learning component, where students observe and participate in nearby K-12 classrooms for three hours per week, will be integrated with course readings and written assignments. 1.25 units, Lecture
