Political scientists define social revolution as a radical social, economic, and political change. This course begins with a survey of three major theories of revolution,and then the analysis of three late twentieth century cases: the Iranian, the Nicaraguan, and the South African revolutions. In each case the focus will be on three phases: the crises of the old regime, the causes of the revolution, and the outcome of the revolution. Critical thinking, creativity, and in-class discussions and team presentations are essential requirements of this course.

This course introduces students to American politics, that sometimes maddening and at other times stimulating subject which always affects our lives. The course assumes no prior knowledge of the subject matter and is intended to acquaint students with various aspects of government and politics in the U.S. It is not comprehensive. The selection of topics is guided by three course objectives. FIRST, at it's most down to earth level, this course is designed to highlight politics in everyday life, as it affects us and as we maybe affect it. If you don't already, you should begin reading a good newspaper to enhance your familiarity with current events. Accomplishing this objective should provide a better appreciation of everyday political events, especially the process and the politics of the presidential election, and equip us to interpret them even after the course is over. SECOND, the course is designed to familiarize students with the formal and informal institutions of government, the conventional and unconventional means of citizen participation in politics, and the consequences that are forthcoming from each. Here we will review the organization and function of such familiar institutions as the Constitution, mass media, political parties, presidency, and the impact that voting, interest groups, and protest movements have upon them. THIRD, and most important, the course is designed to raise the questions, "What is democray?"and "How closely does American politics conform to democratic ideals?" Providing answers to these two questions is the primary goal of this course.

This class examines the concept of power, resistance, and powerlessness from an interdisciplinary theoretical perspective. The readings for this class include material from Political Science, Philosophy, Sociology, and Religion. Films are also an essential source for the study of power. Power is conventionally defined as a formal legal authority of the state or other political organization. Yet power is often informal and symbolic, for example, feminists argue the personal is political. We shall analyze the formal and informal manifestations of power. Four themes will be investigated and discussed: the politics of race, motherhood, resistance, and terrorism. Students are expected to engage in critical thinking, creativity and in group oral presentations.
