In this course, we will explore how national identities and international relationships were created in war and in the aftermath of war, how the people of different nations remember the Pacific War, how and why so-called "history issues" continue to be the most intractable issues in Japan's foreign relations today, and what the prospects are for moving beyond national collective memories of war in Japan, the US, China, and Korea.

POLS 153: RACIAL JUSTICE & HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE U.S. AFTER WWII, 3 credit hrs.
This course focuses on the pursuit of racial justice for African Americans in the aftermath of World War II. It provides an in-depth examination of the political intersection between the global development of international human rights law in the aftermath of WWII and the domestic politics of human rights around issues of racial justice in the United States during the same period. The creation of the United Nations in 1945, which was accompanied by the emergence of global human rights norms, fundamentally shaped domestic politics around racial justice and human rights in the United States. Civil rights organizations appealed to the United Nations and sought to use emerging global human rights discourse to challenge ongoing, systemic human rights deprivations in the United States. The course will emphasize a deep examination of these issues through careful reading of primary historical texts, including some of the drafting documents leading to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, petitions to the United Nations by the NAACP and the Civil Rights Congress, and the report of President Truman’s Committee on Civil Rights.

POLS 154: HUMAN TRAFFICKING, 3 credit hrs.
Human trafficking, which exploits people for sex or forced labor, is a multi-billion-dollar enterprise that has caught the attention of governments, law enforcement, activists, and the media worldwide.

In this course we will explore the causes, varied forms, and historical foundation of this "modern-day slavery," and learn, firsthand, what solutions government and non-governmental organizations are pursuing in our own communities, as well as abroad. No prerequisites.

POLS 162: GENDER AND WAR, 3 credit hrs.
This course addresses the relationship between gender and war. War is a highly gendered phenomenon. Socially constructed norms of masculinity and femininity have been used by states to mobilize public support for war and to recruit and train soldiers. Additionally, gender contributes to war's divergent effects on men and women. While men are more likely to serve as combatants, women are more likely to serve in support roles (nurses, aid workers, etc.) Women and children make up a higher proportion of civilian casualties and war refugees and also are more likely to be victims of rape in war. Men are more likely to suffer as combatants and to be forcibly conscripted but are less likely to get refugee status. For men serving in the upper echelon of the military (and high-ranking military officials are primarily men), military service can be a path to political power, a path generally less available to women. These differential effects of war on men and women can be explained largely by socially constructed gender identities that define men's and women's wartime roles in different ways. No prerequisites.

POLS 163: SIMULATING CRISIS DECISION-MAKING IN U.S. FOREIGN POLICY, 3 credit hrs.
This course will examine how U.S. presidents and their foreign policy advisers make decisions under crisis conditions.

Students will gain a deep understanding of how the policy-making process is shaped by the special conditions that typically accompany crises, including high stakes, time urgency, incomplete information, competing goals and high levels of uncertainty. Graded assignments will include an in-class essay exam, briefing papers, reflection papers and simulation performance. Prerequisites: POLS 001 or POLS 075 or instructor's consent.

POLS 164: U.S.-CHINA RELATIONS, 3 credit hrs.
This course will explore the challenges that the United States and China will face in managing relations during a period when China's international power is rising relative to that of the United States.
