WWS 325: Civil Society and Public Policy
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Princeton University
Civil society is the arena of voluntary organizations (churches, social welfare organizations, sporting clubs) and communal activity. Scholars now tell us that such voluntary and cooperative activities create "social capital" -- a stock of mutual trust that forms the glue that holds society together. The course will be devoted to the study of the history of these concepts, and to the analysis of their application to the United States and other societies. This will be an interdisciplinary effort, embracing history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, and other disciplines.

The course will also cover such practical aspects of research as ethics and regulations concerning human subjects, use of library and reference search tools, resources for acquiring and presenting data.

WWS 340: The History of Financial Crises
0.00 - 4.00 Credits

What are the appropriate tasks of central banks in dealing with crises? How does the architecture of the international financial system affect response to crises? What issues arise from bond finance and from bank lending? What are the harmful, and what are the beneficial effects of crises?

WWS 451: Special Topics in Public Affairs - The Internet and Public Policy
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Princeton University
New technologies have changed the way we communicate with each other and learn about our world. They have also raised public policy dilemmas in every area they touch: communications, regulations, privacy, national security, intellectual property, and many others. This course is predicated on the belief that we can only productively address the social and policy dimensions of the Internet if we understand the technology behind the Internet; the social-science concepts and research that illuminate the likely effects of policy options; and tradeoffs among fundamental values that different policy options imply.

WWS 456: Special Topics in Public Affairs - Urban Revitalization
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Princeton University
This course will focus on the dynamics of urban revitalization. Beginning in the 1950s, many neighborhoods that were home to the working class and a stepping stone to the middle class began to decline economically and became densely concentrated with the urban poor. In recent years, many neighborhoods have been rejuvenated. We will examine the lifecycle of these communities, the forces behind their decline, the policies and players that have spearheaded their revival, the reasons some neighborhoods have yet to recover, and the policy conflicts and community tensions that arise when gentrification gains a foothold in the inner city.

WWS 457: Special Topics in Public Affairs - International Institutions and International Law
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Princeton University
This course will focus on the continual tension between international law and international politics. It will examine the impact of this tension on issues of intervention and also on other issues of substantive importance, including environmental protection, trade, human rights, laws of war applicable to the "war on terror," and crimes of state. It will discuss recent developments affecting international institutions and recent changes in international law, such as the changing conception of "sovereignty."
