INTRODUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Here is a brief about the class : This course introduces students to the academic discipline of International Relations (IR). We first consider what an academic discipline is and the specific characteristics of IR as a distinct scholarly Endeavour, separate from other disciplines such as politics, law or sociology. Then we provide an overview of the competing traditions and theories of IR and the way these have developed in the context of particular political problems and issues at particular historical moments. Understanding these developments and the historical, political and intellectual circumstances that have given rise to different problems, theories, debates and subfields gives students a good orientation in IR and helps them contextualize the ideas they encounter in other IR courses.
Students are asked to pick one of the
following concepts.

I chose the CONCEPT: GENDER .

Here are some info about the topic Gender: This week we explore feminist interventions in IR. The lecture explores how, despite the fact that many issues pertinent to IR are highly gendered in their nature and effects, the discipline has tended to be blind to the questions of gender. We examine what is meant by gender and the various concerns that feminist IR scholars have articulated, such as the gendered nature of power structures and practice in international politics, the effects of diverse constructions of masculinity and femininity and the gendered focus of the mainstream of academic international relations.

Questions to think about in preparation for the lecture:
Can the language of security ever be gender neutral?
What are the most important feminist challenges to IR?
Is IR a masculine discipline and what does this mean?

Pick a development dilemma and write a piece about it, engaging with different perspectives on it. It could be big and broad, like one of the questions here Is aid causing more harm than good in Africa or it could be quite specific, looking in depth at, for example, Corporate Social Responsibility or Brand Aid.

Key readings for the module

Here\’s a list of readings that will give you a longer-term perspective on development – and which scotch the myth that development began with President Truman\’s post-war speech. Some are old, but no less classic: at the very minimum Hirshmann and Wolf should be read by every development student.

Hirschmann, Albert (1967) Development Projects Observed, Washington: The Brookings Institution. This is a brilliant book with timeless lessons about development. See particularly his discussion of the desire for a myth of progress to believe in as a driving motivational force for those who work in development.

Lange, Matthew (2004) British Colonial Legacies and Political Development, World Development, Vol 32(6): 905-922. This very interesting article explores the impact of British colonialism on development, highlighting a number of significant differences in the type and extent of colonialism and effects that continue to be felt in the countries that were colonised by the British Empire.

Fialho, Djalita (2012) Altruism but not Quite: the genesis of the least developed country (ldc) category, Third World Quarterly, 33:5, 751-768. This article looks at the history of the creation of the label \’least developed country\’ and the politics that surrounds the use of this category.

Fletcher, Robert (2012) \’The Art of Forgetting: imperialist amnesia and public secrecy\’, Third World Quarterly, 33:3,423-439

Moyo, Dambisa (2008), A Brief History of Aid in Dead Aid: Why Aid is Not Working and How there is Another Way for Africa,London: Penguin, pp10-28. Told by a former World Bank economist, this is another narrative on the decades of development assistance, with figures to match.

Rist, G. (2002) The History of Development: FromWestern Origins to Global Faith, London: Zed Books

Robb, C. (2004) Changing power relations in the history of aid, in Inclusive Aid: Changing Power and Relationships in Development,ed. Rachel Hinton and Leslie Groves, London: Earthscan. This is a short and easy to read piece that scans some of the significant landmarks in the history of aid.

Syed, Jawad and Faiza Ali (2011) \’The White Woman\’s Burden: from colonial civilisation to Third World development\’, Third World Quarterly, 32:2, 349-365

Wolf, Eric (1982) Europe and the People Without History, Berkeley: California University Press.

YOU CAN ADD SOME OF YOUR OWN SOURCES TOO

THANK YOU

The data in below table lists country code and the order to remittance (OTR) time for hardware / software installations for the last 76 installations (from first to last). OTR is the time it takes from an order being placed until the system is installed and we receive payment (remittance). Because this company does business internationally, it also notes the country of installation using a country code. This code is listed in the first column.

Use the date in table above and answer the following questions in the space provided below:
1. Does the OTR time appear to be stable? Why or why not?
2. If you were to use a control chart to evaluate stability, which chart would you use? Why?
3. What can you learn about the distribution of the installation process?
4. Does it appear that the country has an impact on installation time? Why or why not?
