SOC-STD 98mg: Global Distributive Justice
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
This course examines how concerns about socio-economic justice apply beyond the limits of the domestic state. Do we have reason to care about equality at the international level? If so, should we care about the relative standing of individuals, or of nation-states? Who, if anyone, is responsible for addressing global inequalities? Topics covered include the moral relevance of borders, natural resource distribution, immigration policy, climate change, the international status of women, and global institutional design.

SOC-STD 98mh: Revolutions in Political Thought
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Ca. 1500 few guessed that the small peninsula at the western end of the Asian land mass would soon achieve world economic and political dominance. We trace the West's tradition of political upheaval by reading theory surrounding the major revolutions of the modern age. Splitting a 1,000-year "Universal church" into fragments, developing warring nation-states, executing Kings, and founding colonial republics - Why? How? What has this restless vision of progress made of politics and the world?

Ethnographic readings focus primarily on migration to the US, but also include cases from other world areas, most notably Asia.

SOC-WORLD 11: Germany in the World, 1600-2000
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
This course examines how German-speaking Europe and its inhabitants have interacted with the wider world over the last four centuries. Political and military dimensions receive attention, but so do trade and commodity flows, migration, ecological exchanges, travel, exploration, colonialism, and cultural transfers. The course, in which visual materials play an integral part, seeks to show how a national history can be seen in new ways when viewed through a transnational perspective.

SOC-WORLD 13: Japan in Asia and the World
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Japan is a collection of islands, but its past and present unfolds through continuous interaction with wider worlds. This course places Japan in contexts of Asian and global history. It begins with the people, institutions, and ideas of premodern Japan, from the emergence of a court-centered state 1500 years ago to a warrior-dominated society centuries later. We then examine the tumultuous process of change from the 19th century through the present and explore how people in Japan have dealt with the dilemmas of modernity that challenge us all.
