course aims to familiarize students with the main actors, debates, and
explanations behind the rise of human rights in global politics. The
course is divided into three core sections. The first explores the
philosophical foundations of the notion of human rights and its contested
universality, and the historical developments that propelled human rights to
the forefront of international politics, especially the atrocities of World War
II committed by

Global & International Studies (core
course) This course will introduce students to major
theories and issues concerning gender and international security affairs. We
will begin by examining the interdisciplinary literature on gender theory and
applying its insights to international politics. What does it mean to conduct a
“gendered analysis” of global affairs? How do gendered discourses produce our
understanding of what is and is not understood as a national security problem?
Why has traditional security studies failed to incorporate gender into its
analysis? Then, we apply these theoretical frameworks to important security
issues such as, the cultural effects of nuclear weapons, the targeting of
civilians during armed conflict, sexual violence in war, torture and the war on
terrorism, nationalism and the state, human security and development, and
post-conflict societies, to name a few. Throughout, the gendered nature of
security issues will be explored from multi-disciplinary perspectives drawn
from anthropology, sociology, philosophy, politics and rhetoric in order to
highlight the complex interconnections among states, societies and individuals.
Historical and contemporary case studies will be drawn from a number of
countries across the globe. In reexamining key concepts in the study of
international politics—namely, sovereignty, the state and insecurity—this
course has two goals. First, to expose how gendered discourses of security that
focus on the state render invisible a multitude of threats to individual security.
Second, to question the role of the state as a security provider by
highlighting the insecurities individuals and societies experience as a
consequence of state-centered national security policy.

Cross-listed:
Global & International Studies (core
course); Human Rights (core course) When
should states use military force to alleviate human suffering? Does the need to
intervene to stop human rights violations outweigh the right of states to
maintain control over territory? The international states system is built upon
the principles of sovereignty and nonintervention. Yet over the past two
decades human rights have emerged as an increasingly accepted justification
legitimizing the use of force. This apparent tension between the respect for
state sovereignty and the inevitable violations that result from the use of
military force for humanitarian purposes is at the center of the debate over
human rights in the field of international relations. This course explores the
dilemmas and controversies surrounding the use of force for humanitarian
purposes. The first part examines the major ethical, political and strategic
arguments for and against humanitarian military intervention. The second part
focuses on specific instances where states undertook, or failed to undertake, a
humanitarian military intervention (for example,

W 1:30 pm-2:50 pm |
OLIN 310 |
SSCI |
Cross-listed:
Global & International Studies (core course); Human Rights The
course explores the history, complexity and changing nature of diplomacy and
international development. Students will gain an understanding of the basic
goals, constraints and structures of diplomacy: diplomatic corps, embassies,
consulates, aid missions, attaches, envoys and the use of non-traditional
diplomats. They will then examine the evolution of those components
and contexts to include public diplomacy, cyber diplomacy, diplomacy in
combat zones and the use of international development as a foreign policy tool.
Using selected diplomatic crises as case studies, students will analyze the
roles played by different government agencies, militaries, international &
regional organizations, the media, public interest groups, private foundations,
contractors, commercial interests, educational institutions, and law
enforcement officials. Students will explore how nations communicate with each
other in the 21st century (formally and informally) and will use in-class
simulations and videoconferences with students across the Bard international
network to explore the roles played by different actors in addressing immediate
crises and longer-term diplomatic issues. This course will enhance students’
understanding of international relations, foreign policy formulation and
implementation, and diplomatic history. Class size: 18
