Core Curriculum

---

Introduction to International Politics (POLS0400)

This course analyzes sources and patterns of conflict and cooperation in world politics. It focuses on realist, liberal, constructivist, feminist, and Marxist interpretations. The course considers global security and international political economy during the Cold War and beyond, concluding with an evaluation of efforts to prevent ethnic and civil conflict in contemporary world politics and to strengthen international cooperation in resolving common global issues.

Note: This introductory course is recommended for students in their first or second year of study at Brown, before they take most of the other required courses for the concentration. All IR concentrators must take POLS0400.

[ Back to Top ]

Principles of Economics (ECON0110)
- or -
Intermediate Macroeconomics (ECON1210)

All IR concentrators must take a course in macroeconomics. This requirement can be met by taking ECON0110 or ECON1210. ECON0110 offers an introduction to economic analysis and its application to current social problems. This course serves as a general background for other economics courses that may be relevant to the IR concentration. ECON0110 is given both semesters. This introductory course is recommended for students in their first or second year of study at Brown, before they take most of the other required courses for the concentration.

Students with A-level, IB, or AP credit for ECON0110 who receive a waiver for ECON0110 by the Economics Department must take ECON1210 to fulfill the IR concentration requirements. ECON1210 examines the economy as a whole, including the level and growth of national income, inflation, unemployment, and the role of government policy. ECON1110 (microeconomics) may not be substituted for ECON0110.

Note: While ECON0110 satisfies the IR concentration core, students interested in pursuing a graduate degree in international affairs or public policy are strongly encouraged to take at least one semester each of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and statistics.

[ Back to Top ]

A modern regional HIST course

Students are expected to know European or World History. Students without this background should take HIST 0020: Europe since the French Revolution. Themes include the transformation of a traditional society, industrialism, revolutionary movements, ideological changes, imperialism, fascism, communism, and the present state of European civilization. This introductory course is recommended for students in their first or second year of study at Brown, before they take most of the other required courses for the concentration.

Students with a background in European or world history should take a modern regional course in the History Department to fulfill the history core requirement for IR. Examples of modern history courses that fulfill this requirement are: 20th Century Britain, Germany 1914 to the Present, Modern Italy, 20th century Russia, History of the Modern Middle East, 20th century China, Modern Latin America, 20th c. Africa.

The Tracks

A. Global Security

This track focuses on issues of war and peace in international relations and the politics and diplomacy of foreign policymaking. Critical security issues are investigated not only as conflicts among states but as effects of new global actors, trans-border flows, and complex networks. It includes the increasingly important role of international, transnational, and non-governmental organizations at both the regional and global levels. The global security track is intended for students interested in getting a general overview of the key theoretical approaches and major issues of international relations. It allows considerable flexibility in choosing courses primarily, though not exclusively, in the disciplines of history and political science and from those sponsored by the IR Program.

C. Politics, Culture, and Identity

This track arises out of the Watson Institute's Politics, Culture, and Identity Program (PCI), which focuses on the comparative study of sociocultural shaping of politics and the politics of culture. The PCI track combines a foundation in anthropology with cutting edge scholarship from numerous disciplines, including the humanities. The track seeks a transnational and contextualized understanding of the way institutions, social movements, and communities produce knowledge about the world. It focuses on the fluid, constructed, and politicized character of identity, international norms, policies, and crises.

Regional Focus

The goal of the regionally-focused course is to provide students with in-depth knowledge of one country or one region outside the United States. Regional courses typically come from history, sociology, political science, economics, anthropology, or area studies and may include INTL1800 senior seminars. Students who study abroad their junior year often seek IR concentration credit for a regional course taken while abroad. Students may choose to create a more focused program by taking courses in the HIST core, the regional requirement, and the elective in the same geographic area. There is no pre-approved list for this requirement. However, courses should focus on the modern period (ancient history, for example, does not count) and must be approved by the concentration advisor. As the focus is one country or region, broad thematic courses (such as AIDS in Development Countries), do not fulfill this requirement.

Note: Language training, literature, performance, and lab courses do not meet the regional focus requirement.

[ Back to Top ]

Research Methods

Most coursework for the IR concentration is done in the social sciences, which uses quantitative (formal models, computer analysis of quantitative data, and statistics) and qualitative (case studies, ethnographic studies, interviews) techniques of analysis. Concentrators should have basic literacy in social science research methods and skills in order to perform well in courses required for the concentration. IR concentrators must satisfactorily complete one of the following qualitative or quantitative methods courses prior to graduation (prior to senior year is recommended). Students interested in the honors program must have completed the research methods requirement no later than their 7th semester.

APMA0650	Essential Statistics
APMA1650	Statistical Inference I
ANTH1940	Ethnographic Research Methods
PHP1320	Social Science Research in Health Care
ECON1620	Introduction to Econometrics
ECON1630	Econometrics I
EDUC1100	Introduction to Qualitative Research Methods
EDUC1110	Introductory Statistics for Education Research
HIST1972E	Word of Mouth: Orality & Memory Historiography & Doc. Film
POLS0500	Foundations of Political Analysis
POLS1600	Political Research Methods
PSYCH0090	Quantitative Methods in Psych. (CG 9)
SOC1020	Methods of Social Research
SOC1050	Methods of Research in Organizations
SOC1100	Introductory Statistics for Social Research

Note: AP, IB, or A-level credits may not be substituted for the IR research methods requirement. Students with this background should take a higher level methods course or balance their background with a different type of methods course (i.e., quantitative vs. qualitative).

[ Back to Top ]

Elective

The elective requirement is designed to allow students to personalize their IR program by choosing an advanced course of particular interest that builds upon their track with the approval of the concentration advisor. The selected course should thus be carefully chosen to contribute to the intellectual coherence of the student's overall IR program. Electives may come from any of the disciplines associated with IR (history, economics, anthropology, religious studies, political science, sociology, and area studies), but they all must retain an international focus. There is no pre-approved list for electives. Typically students take an additional track, regional, or IR theory course (e.g. INTL1300/INTL1350) as electives. Students who study abroad their junior year often seek IR concentration credit for the elective taken while abroad. Electives must be advanced (1000-level) courses.

Note: Language training, performance, and lab courses do not meet the electives requirement. As always, pre-college course credits cannot be counted towards fulfilling the elective or any other IR concentration requirement.

[ Back to Top ]

Capstone: Senior Seminar

Capstone Course: INTL1800-series Senior Seminar in International Relations

All IR concentrators are required to take one INTL1800-series seminar or one of the approved seminars in another department. Most IR students take one or two seminars during their senior year at Brown. Juniors may be accepted on an ad-hoc basis, by permission of the instructor, space permitting. Senior seminars are offered on different topics every semester and provide an opportunity for students to integrate what they have learned about international relations by focusing in depth on a specific topic. Seminars are taught by professors from various disciplines including political science, history, anthropology, sociology, and religious studies, as well as by practitioners from the Watson Institute. Seminars emphasize substantial reading and discussion as well as writing, including a major research paper. Most students find the INTL1800 seminars a highlight of their IR concentration experience. Only seminars taken Junior or Senior year fulfill the capstone requirement. Enrollment in INTL1800 seminars is limited to 20 students. Permission of the instructor is required.

[ Back to Top ]

Language Requirement

IR concentrators must pursue the study of a foreign language through the equivalent of three full years of university study. This covers advanced understanding, speaking, reading, and writing capabilities. This level of competence is necessary for students to make effective use of the language in communications required for conducting research in the language or for studying abroad in a country where that language is spoken.

Students may fulfill the language requirement in one of the following three ways:

1. By applying work done in high school, at other US colleges and universities, or in study abroad toward the IR requirement. In all cases, the appropriate language department at Brown must certify by placement tests, or whatever means it chooses, that the student has achieved the required level of competence and that it would permit the student to take more advanced language and literature courses for which this level of competence is a prerequisite.

2. Successful completion of the language sequence (beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels) stipulated by each language department through the courses listed below. After being placed at the appropriate level, students must complete all courses in the sequence. For example, students placed in HISP400 must complete HISP400, 500, and 600 to fulfill the IR language requirement. Students are not permitted to skip levels--i.e., to take HISP400 and then take the Brown placement exam and use a higher score to place in HISP600.

Students may receive credit for one course per semester in the language sequence for study abroad with the approval of the language department and the IR advisor.

• Arabic 600
• Chinese 600
• Czech 610 (2 sem.)
• French 600
• German 600
• Hebrew, JUDS 300
• Hindi-Úrdu 1080
• Italian 600
• Japanese 600
• Korean 910/920
• Persian 600
• Portuguese 610/620
• Russian 600
• Spanish 600

Note: Some language departments offer intensive courses and/or allow topics courses to repeated for credit. The IR requirement is two semesters beyond the intermediate (typically 400) level.

3. Native speakers of a language other than English who have a full range of oral, written, and conversational skills appropriate for academic work are not required to pursue additional language study. Many foreign students, however, elect to study another language and use this third language (after the native language and English) to fulfill the IR requirement. Native speakers not enrolling in language study at Brown must present to the IR concentration advisor one of the following:

• a high school transcript indicating the language of instruction for all classes was a language other than English. Speaking the language at home with family is not sufficient to meet the IR language requirement.
• an email from a Brown professor stating, based on whatever means the faculty member should choose, that the student has the equivalent of three years of advanced university language instruction covering all three areas of competency.
