Special Topics Courses in Political Science for Fall 2010

from Prof. Darren Hawkins
Political Science Department Chair

IR Students,

We have a couple of political science classes that have been recently placed on the course listings. Some of them are not typically listed for credit for the IR major, but I’ve made arrangements with Prof. Phillips, IR program coordinator, to have them count. Please consider enrolling in them:

PlSc 359R, Section 003: Political Economy of Communism and Post-Communism: Will count for the International Politics track or the European Politics and History Track.

PlSc349R, Section 001: Game Theory. Will count for the Political Economy track. Game theory is fundamental to much economic and political analysis and will explore strategy and logic in politics and the marketplace. A valuable course in developing more rigorous and strategic thinking!

Thanks.
