We shall examine these tools with an eye to their particular and potential contribution to concept development and measurement, theory development, and theory evaluation. Overall, our concern is with establishing clear, high standards for qualitative research. Although most of the readings will be directly methodological, readings will also include several examples of qualitative scholarship, whether undertaken by itself or in conjunction with other methodologies. The Linear Model Esarey, M 9: This course provides a thorough foundation for understanding and using regression analysis for empirical research in political science. After a basic primer on rudimentary calculus and matrix algebra, and a discussion of the properties of statistical estimators, the course builds the ordinary regression model and estimators from the ground up. It covers model assumptions and techniques for detecting and addressing violations of those assumptions, plus topics such as model specification, interactions and functional forms, measurement error, and endogeneity. The emphasis throughout is on applied techniques common in current political science research. This class provides an introduction to non-cooperative game theory. Applied Game Theory Staton, F 1: We will read applications of game theory to major lines of research in political science, tailored to student interest. Common topics include legislative organization, party competition, government formation, lobbying, delegation, common pool resource management, and international conflict. Comparative Politics Remington, W 1: This course is the core seminar for the field of comparative politics in the political science Ph. It provides an introduction to the major questions, theories and empirical research in comparative politics. Substantive topics include comparative methodology, development and political regimes, political order and conflict, participation, culture, representation, ethnic mobilization, political institutions, and political economy. Course requirements include student-led discussions of theoretical arguments and empirical findings, and active participation in seminar discussion. Students will write short weekly analytical commentaries on the readings in preparation for each class session. Readings will be available on Direct Reserve and a course Blackboard site. This course will explore a variety of techniques for modeling social science data which contains a temporal component. Topics will include time-series analysis, pooled time-series cross-sectional models, and models for panel data, including models for discrete dependent variables. This seminar is ideal for assisting graduate students to develop unique and nontrivial theories of politics and society together with mathematical model specifications that exactly match those theories. Helping students develop theories and specifications useful for dissertation research is a key component of the course. The subject is taught with an extremely user-friendly approach, and students should have little or no trouble mastering the course content. High school algebra is all that is required to begin. Check out the syllabus and other course materials at www. Written assignments; class presentations students develop and present their own theories. Variable Topics Seminar Topic title: Gender and race interact and intersect in complex and confounding ways, yet they have a persistently powerful influence upon politics and society. This seminar will introduce students to major theoretical perspectives, debates, controversies, and research findings in the study of gender, race, and politics in the United States. Readings and class discussion will concentrate on four general themes: Thus, we will study gender and race both as political constructs or ideologies and as systems of political economic and social stratification. In addition, we will examine how these aspects of gender and race affect the political behavior and experiences of women and persons of color as citizens, workers, voters, political activists, community leaders, political candidates, and public officials. Core texts will include a number of earlier, "foundational" works, such as: Kaufmann, The Urban Voter: International Security Beardsley, F 9: This is one of two graduate courses on international conflict and Page 1

2 security. It is not a prerequisite for the other course POLS, nor does it assume that students have taken that course. We will spend much of this course studying emerging research related to intrastate conflict, but will also touch on a number of other relevant topics to the subfield of international conflict and security. This course is designed to introduce students to the theoretical problems that institutions address and substantive illustrations of those problems. The class begins with an overview of current approaches to research on institutions and continues with a more detailed focus on specific socials problems institutions are designed to solve, such as delegation, collective action, and preference aggregation. For each theoretical problem, the course will cover substantive applications from across the various subfields in political science. Additional topics not covered in detail will be introduced at the end of the course. Students will be required to write several short papers and make presentations to the class during the semester. A final exam modeled after a comprehensive exam will be required. This seminar is designed to expose students to a growing literature on law and politics. Using a mixture of case study, statistical analysis, and game theoretic modeling, scholars are increasingly interested in how the worlds of judicial behavior and politics intersect. This course will provide a survey of some of the most promising areas of study, including models of judicial decision making, the politics of opinions and precedent, inter-branch relations, and inter-court relations. We will also ask questions about the institutional design and change of judicial systems, including why judicial review exists, how courts manage or not compliance and enforcement concerns, and how national and international courts compare.

The student is expected to have read each question at the end of the assigned chapter and made notes as to the answers to the questions. Class Participation Points Please note that class participation is very important in this course. Student participation creates a positive and effective thinking and learning environment. Attendance will be taken at every class meeting. Students who miss more than one class for any reason or who are habitually tardy will be asked to withdraw from the course. One absence will be allowed. Any additional absences will result in the loss of Class Participation Points. Excessive absences may eventually result in the student being withdrawn from the course. If the Instructor asks you to withdraw or if you decide on your own to drop the course, you are responsible for initiating and completing the withdrawal process. Please consult college course schedule to verify last day to withdraw this course. Reinstatement will not be granted once student has withdrawn from the course.
