IPS 208A: International Justice

This course will examine the arc of an atrocity. It begins with an introduction to the interdisciplinary scholarship on the causes and enablers of mass violence¿genocide, war crimes, terrorism, and state repression. It then considers political and legal responses ranging from humanitarian intervention (within and without the Responsibility to Protect framework), sanctions, commissions of inquiry, and accountability mechanisms, including criminal trials before international and domestic tribunals. The course will also explore the range of transitional justice mechanisms available to policymakers as societies emerge from periods of violence and repression, including truth commissions, lustrations, and amnesties. Coming full circle, the course will evaluate current efforts aimed at atrocity prevention, rather than response, including President Obama¿s atrocities prevention initiative. Readings address the philosophical underpinnings of justice, questions of institutional design, and the way in which different societies have balanced competing policy imperatives.

IPS 224: Economic Growth, Development, and Challenges of East Asia

This course explores economic growth and development in East Asia and the region¿s current economic policy issues. For the purpose of this course, we will largely focus on China, Japan, and Korea. However, we will incorporate Southeast Asia when relevant. The first part of the course examines economic growth in East Asia and the development strategies pursued. Cross country comparisons will help draw similarities but also differences in the development processes. We will also discuss the validity of an East Asian model for economic growth. The second part of the course focuses on the specific factors relating to economic development, e.g., human capital, firms, infrastructure, institutions, democracy, political leaders, etc. We will also discuss the current challenges and policy issues. Readings will come from books, journal articles, reports, news articles, and case studies. Many of the readings will have an empirical component and students will be able to develop their understanding of how empirical evidence is presented in articles.

IPS 225: Innovation-Based Economic Growth: Silicon Valley and Japan (EASTASN 151, EASTASN 251)

Innovation is essential for the growth of a matured economy. An important reason for Japan's economic stagnation over the past two decades was its failure to transform its economic system from one suited for catch-up growth to one that supports innovation-based economic growth. This course examines the institutional factors that support innovation-based economic growth and explores policies that may encourage innovation-based growth in Japan. The course is a part of a bigger policy implementation project that aims to examine the institutional foundations of innovation-based economic growth, to suggest government policies that encourage innovation-based growth in Japan, and to help implement such policies. The central part of the course will be several group research projects conducted by the students. Each student research project evaluates a concrete innovation policy idea. Each student research group is to report the findings to the class and prepare the final paper.
