2 credits. This course will meet for the first eight weeks of the semester. (GIS core course). One of the greatest security challenges facing the global community in the twenty-first century is the proliferation of nuclear weapons. While only nine nations possess nuclear weapons, more than half the world's population lives in one of these states and many more have nuclear materials and facilities that could be converted to a weapons program in short order. So long as these weapons exist, so too does the potential for their use: be it from lost or stolen nuclear materials, nuclear accidents or deliberate use in war. This course provides an overview of the problem of nuclear proliferation and global efforts to manage the spread of nuclear weapons. Topics covered include: Why do states develop a nuclear weapons program? What strategies—from diplomacy to economic sanctions to the threat of war—has the international community used to limit nuclear proliferation? How have nuclear weapons transformed the way individuals, societies and the international community understand security? Is global zero, a world without nuclear weapons, possible? By combining different disciplinary perspectives on the significance of nuclear weapons with case studies of specific proliferators, this course will equip students to think critically and holistically about this pressing global issue and to develop an informed view of the various policy tools available to manage the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Throughout special attention will be paid to understanding and assessing the complex reasons why states choose to develop nuclear weapons and the difficult trade-offs involved with nonproliferation policy. The course concludes with a daylong simulation of international negotiations in response to a nuclear crisis. To earn a passing grade, all students must attend the class sessions, complete the required writing assignments and participate in the simulation (tentatively scheduled for October 28). Topics courses are core courses in the Global and International Studies program and explore a different contemporary global issue each semester. Participation in a Topics course is also a pre-requisite for students wishing to compete in College-sponsored intercollegiate Model United Nations activities. Class size: 25

Cross-listed: Global & International Studies (GIS core course); Human Rights What does it mean to be a global citizen? This question has gained increasing salience as the world has become more globalized. With globalization new problems surface that cut across national borders and fall outside the jurisdiction of individual nation-states. In response new forms of political organization have emerged to address these problems, which challenge the state as the primary locus of political authority and ultimate source of individual rights. In particular, these individuals and groups have appealed to a kind of global citizenship from below to call for action on and demand redress for the harms created by globalization. This interdisciplinary course critically examines the conceptual and theoretical foundations of the concept of global citizenship and investigates how the idea might work in practice. We begin by considering the conceptual, philosophical and historical debates about citizenship. What does it mean to be a citizen of a particular state? What obligations and responsibilities accompany citizenship? How have understandings of citizenship changed and expanded over time? What is global citizenship and how does it differ from national citizenship? Next we evaluate these ideas about citizenship in the context of globalization and the new problems created by an increasingly interdependent world. Topics covered may include: migration and refugees; the environment and resources; (in)security and borders; health and infectious disease; and development and inequality. We conclude by assessing the role (if any) global citizenship can play in global governance and consider how the international system might be transformed to better address the challenges of globalization. This course will be taught concurrently at Bard's international partner institutions. Students will benefit from collaboration with peers at these institutions. Class size: 22
