Course
Description:
This
course
explores
an
issue
that
affects
developed
and
developing
countries
alike.
Scholars,
politicians,
and
civil
society
often
conceive
of
corruption
as
a
global
problem
that
demands
urgent
attention.
At
the
domestic
level,
it
impedes
economic
development,
wastes
resources,
and
reinforces
social
inequalities.
The
abuse
of
power
undermines
government
performance
and
erodes
political
legitimacy.
At
the
international
level,
corruption
is
often
linked
to
organized
crime,
money
laundering,
arms
smuggling,
and
narcotics
trafficking.
Every
day
we
see
a
number
of
news
on
corruption
appearing
in
media
outlets
around
the
world.
As
a
course
designed
for
advanced
undergraduate
students,
its
main
purpose
is
to
provide
the
tools
to
understand
and
analyze
the
relationship
between
corruption
and
development.
First,
we
will
begin
with
questions
of
definition
and
measurement:
How
can
we
identify
corruption
in
its
various
forms,
and
how
can
levels
and
the
prevalence
of
corruption
be
measured?
Second,
we
will
consider
the
causes
and
consequences
of
corruption,
as
identified
in
existing
literature.
Then,
we
will
explore
a
number
of
issues
that
look
at
corruption
from
different
angles:
political
corruption,
corruption
and
the
media,
efforts
to
curb
corruption,
among
others.
Throughout
the
course
we
will
think
about
the
impact
of
corruption
on
development
and
the
quality
of
democracy. Rather
than
focusing
on
one
country
at
a
time
or
on
a
few
countries
in
depth,
we
will
use
events
and
systems
in
various
countries
as
illustrations.
The
readings
are
a
collection
of
research
on
these
issues
and
require
the
students
to
read
prior
to
each
class
session
and
to
engage
the
readings
critically.
We
will
test
authors’
claims
against
the
evidence
they
present,
challenge
the
logic
of
their
arguments,
and
question
their
conclusions.
On
some
units
we
will
also
read
newspaper
or
magazine
articles,
and
in
others
we
will
watch
a
movie
related
to
the
issue
under
study. The
class
will
be
a
combination
of
lecture
and
discussion.
In
each
class
I
will
briefly
place
the
readings
in
a
broader
context
and
propose
a
couple
of
critiques
that
we
will
discuss
afterwards.
I
will
not
repeat
what
is
found
in
the
materials,
on
the
assumption
that
students
will
come
to
class
prepared.
The
reading
load
is
heavy,
and
keeping
up
is
essential
to
both
your
success
as
a
student
as
well
as
the
course’s!

Participation:
Participation
in
class
discussions
is
required
and
students
are
expected
to
keep
up
with
the
readings.
Because
it
is
impossible
to
participate
in
class
without
being
present,
class
attendance
is
required.
Also,
while
speaking
in
class
is
important,
please
keep
in
mind
that
it
is
not
just
quantity
that
matters,
but
also
quality.
Throughout
the
course
(except
for
the
first
two
and
last
two
weeks),
approximately
3
students
will
be
responsible
for
each
week
(all
students
will
have
1
week
assigned).
For
their
week,
assigned
students
are
required
to
participate
actively
and
are
responsible
for
carrying
the
discussion.
They
also
must
present
3
reflections
(they
can
be
posed
in
terms
of
a
question)
about
the
readings,
which
are
due
at
10
am
the
day
of
class,
and
must
be
turned
in
via
the
assignment
tool
of
MyCourses
(these
responses
will
be
available
for
all
students).
Each
reflection
cannot
exceed
100
words
(a
very
short
paragraph).
March
Conference:
On
March
21
and
22,
the
Institute
for
the
Study
of
International
Development
is
organizing
a
conference
on
The
Challenge
of
Developing
Countries
from
the
Bottom
Up.
There
will
be
one
session
taking
place
on
Thursday
March
21st
(16:00-‐18:00)
and
four
sessions
on
Friday
March
22nd
(9:00-‐10:45,
11.15-‐13:00,
14:00-‐15:45,
and
16:00-‐17:45).
Attendance
to
any
session
of
the
conference
will
earn
students
extra
credit
(2.5%)
that
will
count
toward
their
participation
grade.
Please
note
that
participation
is
never
to
exceed
the
20%
established
for
the
course.
At
the
conference
there
will
be
a
sign
up
sheet
at
each
session.
Students
should
put
their
name,
student
ID,
and
signature.
Needless
to
say,
students
leaving
early
from
a
session
will
not
receive
the
extra
credit.
Book
Review:
One
of
the
writing
assignments
for
this
class
is
to
prepare
a
book
review,
as
if
it
were
for
publication
in
a
major
social
science
journal.
You
are
required
to
stick
to
a
5-‐page
limit.
These
reviews
usually
include
a
short
synopsis
of
the
book
and
its
main
arguments,
as
well
as
discussion
of
the
strengths
and
weaknesses
of
the
book.
The
instructor
will
provide
a
list
of
the
books
for
review,
which
are
all
available
at
the
Redpath
Library.
Starting
on
January
24th,
students
must
go
to
the
instructor’s
office
during
office
hours
in
order
to
sign
up
to
review
the
book
of
their
choice.
Only
1
student
will
be
allowed
to
review
any
given
book,
so
the
sooner
you
decide
and
sign
up,
the
more
likely
you
are
to
get
your
first
choice.
Students
may
review
a
book
outside
the
list
ONLY
with
instructor’s
approval.
Group
Project:
The
main
assignment
for
this
class
is
a
research
group
project
that
will
take
place
throughout
the
semester.
As
soon
as
the
add-‐drop
period
is
over,
we
will
form
groups
of
4-‐5
students.
Each
group
will
be
assigned
a
region
(South
America,
Central
America,
South-‐East
Asia,
Middle
East,
East
Africa,
West
Africa,
Southern
Africa,
Eastern
Europe),
and
they
must
collectively
design
and
carry
out
a
research
project
that
explores
corruption
in
the
region
assigned.
I
will,
as
much
as
possible,
accommodate
students’
regional
interests.
Of
course,
I
cannot
guarantee
that
everyone
will
get
to
work
on
their
preferred
region.
The
project
will
consist
of
three
stages:
proposal,
paper
and
presentation.
I. Research
Proposal:
Each
group
must
submit
a
5-‐page
research
proposal
for
their
research
project.
This
proposal
should
set
up
your
research
objectives
and
plans
in
order
to
carry
out
the
study.
The
proposal
should
cover
the
division
of
labor
among
the
students
in
the
group.
The
proposal
also
needs
to
clarify
the
sources
of
data
you
will
employ,
and
explain
how
the
proposed
project
is
different
from
existing
research
on
corruption
in
your
region.
Moreover,
it
needs
to
outline
the
relevant
literature
that
your
paper
will
address.
You
are
encouraged
to
discuss
these
issues
with
the
instructor.
Syllabus
INTD:
497-‐002.
Balán

II. Presentation:
In
the
two
weeks
each
group
will
present
their
project
to
the
whole
class.
You
should
plan
on
30-‐minute
presentations.
Your
objective
is
to
provide
a
clear
and
compelling
brief
on
your
research.
Presentations
should
not
be
read,
and
need
to
be
well-‐planned
and
rehearsed.
The
use
of
visual
aids
and
graphs
is
highly
encouraged.
Creativity
and
originality
will
be
rewarded.
In
short,
your
presentations
need
to
be
awesome,
and
you
should
work
on
providing
an
entertaining
and
thoughtful
talk
that
will
make
people
remember
your
project.
III. Final
Paper:
The
final
group
research
paper
should
be
of
around
50
pages.
Papers
should
advance
a
comparative
analysis
of
a
number
of
countries
within
your
assigned
region,
providing
arguments
and
empirical
evidence.
You
should
use
existing
literature
on
the
topic
as
a
resource
for
your
research
paper,
but
you
should
stay
away
from
doing
a
literature
review.
Writing
assignments
have
to
be
presented
following
these
guidelines:
double
space,
Times
New
Roman,
font
12,
1-‐inch
margins.
All
endmatter
(figures,
tables,
charts,
endnotes,
and
bibliography)
does
NOT
count
toward
page
limits.
