MASTER OF ARTS IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS (MAIR) Syracuse University will award the degree of Master of Arts in International Relations (MAIR) upon completion of graduate course work totaling 40 credits with a grade point average of "B" (3.0) or better. In most cases, 40 credits equates to 13 three-credit courses and 1 one-credit course.

The 16-month MAIR Program features five curricular components. Students: (1) complete three core courses to prepare them with general knowledge and skills needed in the global

workplace; (2) focus their studies by choosing two of six career tracks, while also integrating regional studies; (3) depending on their chosen Career Tracks, take one of three signature courses – courses that draw fully on the Maxwell School’s expertise in public affairs and up-to-date/cutting edge applied social science research (4) take a capstone course at the end of their second semester in preparation for their summer internship; and (5) complete an internship through one of the Program’s global opportunities.

The International Relations Program continues to improve and evolve. By the time you complete the M.A., the offerings and rules may have changed somewhat. The rules which govern your program, however, are those which are in effect the first semester in which you matriculate into the program. This student handbook serves as a contract between the Public Administration and International Affairs Department and the MAIR entering class of fall 2011.

CORE COURSES

As part of the interdisciplinary social science framework of the Maxwell School, the core courses are designed to

provide all students with general knowledge of the field of international affairs from theoretical and applied

perspectives. The “skills” components of the core curriculum are intended to provide students with valuable

quantitative and qualitative professional skills for the global workplace.

ECONOMICS

Managerial Economics for Public Administrators - PAI 723 (or)

Survey of Microeconomic Theory – ECN 601

STATISTICS

Quantitative Skills for International Relations – PAI 704 (or)

Introduction to Statistics – PPA 721

EVALUATION

Strategic Planning, Implementation and Evaluation in International Affairs – PAI 705 (or)

Research Design (PAI 700)

SIGNATURE COURSES

The signature courses were designed to demonstrate Maxwell’s competitive strengths in comparative political

analysis and cultural studies as they relate to international affairs. Each signature course matches one or more

career tracks. We recommend students take the signature course that best corresponds to their chosen career

tracks and interests

Comparative Foreign Policy – PSC 783

Culture in World Affairs – PAI 707

Economic Dimensions of Global Power – PAI 716

CAPSTONE SEMINAR

The Capstone Seminar (IRP 706) is a one-credit course scheduled during the Maymester (May 13-14, 2013),

offering professional training to students before they embark on their summer internships. The object of the

seminar is to provide students with the opportunity to apply what they have learned in a professional (albeit

simulated) setting.

Students will be engaged in a policy simulation exercise, confronting an alternative future policy problem or crisis.

Based on individual Career Track focus, each student will be assigned a role (e.g., Foreign Minister of Nigeria, CEO

of Royal Dutch Shell, or President of Human Rights Watch). Each Career Track group may meet periodically during

the spring semester with a faculty advisor to prepare for the simulation. This faculty advisor will eventually assess

students' performance during the exercise (as well as on potential written deliverables) and assign grades. We see

the capstone as the culminating experience of your first year of studies here at Maxwell and as a way to bridge the

academic and professional aspects of your education.

5

CAREER TRACK REQUIREMENTS

The field of international relations is multidisciplinary in nature and is as broad as the world itself. Proficiency in

key areas such as economics, history, politics, and quantitative methods serve to prepare students for a wide

variety of positions. However, with such a broad education, it is crucial that students focus on particular fields of

expertise. The career tracks are designed with this objective in mind, to effectively steer students toward careers

in diverse areas of international affairs.

The six Career Tracks constitute the career fields that most international relations graduates enter. Students

choose two Career Tracks, completing 9 credits in one and 6 credits in the other. Courses counting towards one of

your Tracks cannot double-count for the other, even if they may be listed under both. The IR Program offers the

following Career Tracks:

• Global Markets

• Global Development

• Foreign Policy

• Negotiation & Conflict Resolution

• Global Security

• Transnational Organizations & Leadership

This level of focus is crucial to the job search. By having students identify two Career Tracks at the onset of their

degree program, students are able to channel their energies on a specific field and the corollary career goals. This

relationship is described in the next section entitled “IR Career Tracks” by identifying the common career options,

both positions and organizations, for which our students pursuing these career tracks would compete upon

graduation.

REGIONAL COMPONENT

The study of a particular world region is an important component of any curriculum in international affairs.

Regional knowledge serves to strengthen students’ marketability in the job market, better aligning them with

targeted opportunities. The new curriculum requires that students fulfill six credits of regional coursework. This

coursework can be completed on campus through regular courses or, in many cases, off-campus through a

combination of an internship and coursework abroad or in Washington, D.C. These courses will double-count for a

career track and for the regional focus.

Students with strong regional interests may, in consultation with the Associate Director, create a regional

concentration using six to nine credits of coursework. The regional track would substitute for one of the two

career tracks mentioned above. Regional concentrations are generally available for Europe, Asia, Latin America,

the Middle East, and Africa. Most students choose to complete both Career Tracks along with a regional focus.

6

GLOBAL INTERNSHIP REQUIREMENT

Practical training is an integral part of the MAIR degree program. As such, all students will be required to complete

a 3-credit internship (with the exception of mid-career students). The IR Program offers students multiple global

program opportunities that include internships in the United States and abroad.

The summer and fall internship programs may, under some circumstances, help fulfill Career Track requirements.

The key here is the nature of the internship itself. Students may consult the Associate Director of Graduate Studies

and the Global Programs Coordinator for questions related to their individual situation.

SECOND LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT

Our alumni tell us that competence in a second language is especially important for success in a career in

international affairs. In addition to the Career Tracks and regional foci, you must demonstrate a working

knowledge of a second modern spoken foreign language. The MAIR Program requires competence in a second

language, in addition to your own native language, at the level which is achieved after completing two years of

formal, university-level instruction in the language.

International students whose native language is not English can count English as their second language.

Competence in a second language can be demonstrated in several ways. Students may present a college or

university transcript showing completion of study in the language at the level of the fourth semester of instruction.

Alternatively, students may sit for a short placement test (which is ordinarily used to place undergraduates)

administered by the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics at Syracuse University prior to the

beginning of each term. Placement tests are offered during the week of orientation this fall. Students must place

out of 202 within the language to meet our requirement. For certification of competence in languages which are

not offered at Syracuse University, it is the student’s responsibility to arrange for a proficiency examination, and

any cost incurred for this is the student’s responsibility.

Students may (and are encouraged to) take courses in a second language during their time at Maxwell. As

language courses are typically instructed at the undergraduate level, they cannot count towards fulfilling your

degree requirements. Graduate students typically elect to audit undergraduate courses. If you are a full-time

student, you may sign up to audit courses at no charge. Graduate courses taught by the language department that

deal with international relations in some substantive respect may be counted toward MAIR requirements; students

should confer about each case with the Associate Director of Graduate Studies.

TIME REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE MAIR PROGRAM

The 40-credit MAIR Program is designed for full-time students to complete within 16 months of study. Students

can decide to construct their schedules in multiple ways, either shortening or lengthening the amount of time

necessary to complete their program. In doing so, students must keep in mind that they must be enrolled in at

least nine credits per semester (fall and spring) to maintain full-time status. This can have an impact on

educational loans. And those students who are simultaneously pursuing two graduate degrees will require a

longer commitment, the amount of extra time depending on the specifics of each joint degree program. Students

may maintain full-time status for a maximum of two years, starting from the semester students began their studies

(this rule applies to MAIR students only; other rules apply to those enrolled in joint-degree programs). Students

7

may take more than two years to complete the degree, but they will not be able to maintain their full-time student

status after two years.

Below you will find an illustrative schedule for the typical MAIR student wishing to graduate in 16 months. The

normal course load during the first fall and spring semesters is twelve credits. These two semesters are considered

“academic training” and take place in Syracuse. Students then complete the required one-credit capstone

experience during the Maymester on campus. Thereafter, students enroll in a six-credit summer program and a

nine-credit fall program; both take place off-campus (although some students decide to stay in Syracuse in either

the summer or fall semesters). Students are required to complete a global internship during this time. The last

two semesters of the MAIR Program are referred to as “professional training”. Students complete the MAIR at the

end of December of the second year.

TYPICAL 16 MONTH MAIR SCHEDULE

FALL I (12 credits)

2-3 required courses

1-2 career track courses

SPRING (12 credits)

1-2 required courses

2-3 career track courses

SUMMER I (7 credits)

PAI 706 IR Capstone Seminar

Maymester course + internship and/or summer global program (off-campus)

FALL II (9 credits)

Fall global program with internship (off-campus)

3 career track or elective courses

NORMAL COURSE LOADS

The Department of Public Administration & International Affairs does not specify a minimum credit hour load that

must be taken during any term. There are normal course loads for all full-time students. They are the same for

those students with and without Graduate Assistantship appointments. Normal course loads are as noted above

(6-7 credits over the summer terms and 9-12 credits over the fall and spring terms). The university requires that a

student registered for a minimum of 9 credits over the fall or spring terms and 6 credits over the summer term to

be considered full time.

8

MAIR CORE REQUIREMENTS In the process of meeting the general 40-credit requirement for the MAIR degree, all candidates are expected to

fulfill ALL core requirements by either completing the designated core courses or by passing a waiver

examination (offered for economics and statistics only).

WAIVER EXAM FOR ECONOMICS OR STATISTICS CORE COURSES

Students who completed appropriate course work at a high level of performance prior to entering the MAIR

program are strongly encouraged to take a waiver examination for the economics and/or introductory statistics

core courses. Prior work should be comparable in breadth and depth to the PAI 723 Managerial Economics for

Public Administrators and PAI 721 Introductory to Statistics. Course syllabi are available from the Department of

Public Administration & International Affairs for the student to review to see if this is a viable option.

Waiver exams are offered just prior to the start of the fall and spring semester. Students may only attempt the

exam once. Exams are not credit bearing. Students who successfully waive core requirements are not relieved

of any portion of the total credit hour requirement for their degree. Waiver of a core course allows the student

to take an additional approved elective – either within the PAIA department (PAI prefix) or from the other

offerings at Maxwell or Syracuse University.

WAIVER EXAMINATION DATES

Statistics August 23, 2012 Economics August 24, 2012

Alternative summer dates and a January test date for either exam can be arranged as needed. All exams are graded the first week of the semester, regardless when the test was completed.

EXECUTIVE MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS (EMIR) The Executive Master of International Relations (Executive M.A.I.R., referred to as “EMIR”) is

open to individuals with substantial experience and managerial responsibility in the public,

private, and nonprofit sectors (including NGOs). The typical candidate has seven or more years

of management experience and holds a position beyond that of basic supervisor. The program

is designed for mid-career managers who require updated information and skills in the field of

international relations, and who anticipate promotion to a leadership position, or who plan to transition to the

public or nonprofit sectors. Current students are drawn from international government ministries and NGOs;

federal, regional, state, and local domestic agencies; and a variety of nonprofit and private organizations. The 30-

credit program may be completed in one calendar year of full-time study or in a variety of part-time formats.

Syracuse University will award the EMIR degree upon completion of graduate course work totaling 30 credits with

a grade point average of "B" (3.0) or better. In most cases, 30 credits equates to 10 three-credit courses.

EMIR DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

The degree consists of 10 courses, including three required courses: 1) PAI 895: Executive Education Seminar,

Managerial Leadership, 2) PAI 996: Master’s Project, and 3) the choice either PSC783: Comparative Foreign Policy

Analysis or IRP 713: Governance and Global Civil Society, depending on whether the student’s study interest

focuses on foreign policy analysis or questions around the role that transnational actors play in international

relations. The other 21 credits will be divided into three categories: 1) those that constitute a specific career track

for the student (9 credits), 2) those that are focused on a particular region of the world (3 credits), and 3) electives

from the range of relevant courses offered across the Maxwell School departments (9 credits). Some of these

elective courses may be selected, with permission, from another college or school of the University.

The International Relations Program continues to improve and evolve. By the time you complete the EMIR, the

offerings and rules may have changed somewhat. The rules which govern your program, however, are those which

are in effect the first semester in which you matriculate into the program. This student handbook serves as a

contract between the Public Administration and International Affairs department, the Executive Education

Program at Maxwell, and the EMIR entering class of fall 2012.

EXECUTIVE EDUCATION SEMINAR (PAI 895)

Each EMIR student is required to complete one 3-credit seminar in public administration (PAI 895: Managerial

Leadership in the Public Sector). The seminar is carefully designed for the executive learner both in content and

format. Relying on interactive teaching, case method, group exercises, and application papers, the seminars deal

with strategic issues of concern to public leaders.

THE MASTER’S PROJECT COURSE (PAI 996)

Completion of the 3-credit Master's Project Course (PAI 996) meets the University's comprehensive requirement

for a master’s program. Highly diverse student project teams are organized around a public policy issue. Projects

typically are expected to provide an internationally comparative perspective while developing a policy

recommendation. The course is an opportunity for students to apply knowledge acquired through study to a

policy and organizational issue of professional relevance. While the project deliverable focuses on a public policy

issue, the course also emphasizes issues of team management within highly diverse work force settings. Sessions

on project management and group dynamics support the teams as they work over the semester with course

11

faculty and other optional faculty advisors to complete their project. A final oral presentation to the class and an

academic poster session are also integral and required parts of the course. PAI 730: Social Welfare Policy in a

Comparative Context (spring) also satisfies the EMIR Capstone requirement and can be substituted for PAI 996 for

students with specific interests in this content area.

EMIR COURSE PLANNING

EMIR students work with an academic advisor to design a program of course work that meets their specific

professional needs. In doing so, most students will design a program that allows them to complete an array of

courses in various aspects of international relations and coursework in general policy analysis or within a specific

policy area.

INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAM OF STUDY

12

The extensive resources of the Maxwell School allows for the executive education student to combine study in

public administration and international affairs with other concentrated course work in the social sciences. With

the approval of the department and the student’s advisor, students may pursue a portion of their studies outside

of the Maxwell School in related coursework in other colleges at SU or at the SUNY College of Environmental

Science and Forestry. In addition, graduate students may pursue two degrees concurrently (see Joint and

Concurrent Degree Programs).

TIME REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE EMIR PROGRAM

Full-time students may complete the EMIR degree in 12 months, including a summer session. Part-time students

design their own schedule for completion. The length of time required depends on the credit hour per semester

load that a student chooses to carry.

EMIR NORMAL COURSE LOADS

The normal credit-hour load for full-time students is 12 credits in the Fall and Spring semesters and up to 6 credits

in Summer sessions. The Department offers special spring – winter intercession – courses in January that allow

the student to complete an additional 3 credits over the winter break. Many international students choose to

begin the degree with a 9-credit load in the first semester.

Proficiency in a second modern spoken foreign language is a prerequisite for admission to the program. Program

advisers will work individually with students to craft a program of study that meets their individual needs to

address deficiencies in economics, quantitative analysis, planning & assessment and other relevant skills in the

field of international affairs.

14

IR CAREER TRACKS The International Relations Program has defined six major subfields within the broad discipline

of international relations that correspond to the main career fields into which our alumni

enter. Each student’s program of study will be focused around two of these Career Tracks to

help identify areas of expertise within this broad discipline. Of course, there are many

subfields within these Careers Tracks and other fields within international relations that are

not addressed by the tracks listed below.

FOCUS The Global Markets Career Track focuses on the influence of capital markets and the international political

economy in today’s world. International banking, finance, and economic development are all crucial in

understanding political relations, security and conflict, and development issues.

This career field offers a unique opportunity to marry private-sector capital concerns with delicate political and

social issues. As banks and businesses continue to globalize their services and emerging markets continue to

influence developed financial markets, an understanding of how internationalization influences interest rates,

currency and securities values, and local economies is crucial.

FOCUS The Global Development career track offers students the opportunity to study the interplay of social, economic

and political interests as they collide in the developing world. This field of work can require a significant array of

technical skills and unique strategies which are often difficult to define without experience in the field.

EMPLOYMENT Students in this program often seek employment in bilateral or multilateral international aid agencies in private

voluntary organizations dealing with development, consulting firms or federal/state offices that deal with

international issues. Prior overseas experience and foreign language skills are important assets in obtaining such

positions.

FOCUS Foreign policy is most commonly associated with diplomacy. This is often seen as the heart of international affairs

as it is the delicate communication handled by national representatives that define the relationships between

nation states. However, while this interaction may be limited to select players, it has the power to influence all

fields within this discipline and is, therefore, a powerful area to master – or at least study.

EMPLOYMENT Students who select foreign policy as their primary career track often set their sights on a career in the Foreign

Service. However, this field is valuable for any student of international relations, and as a result, the career paths

that follow are varied. Positions held by Maxwell alumni working in the field include:

U.S. Department of State, Foreign Service Officer Government of Afghanistan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Affairs Officer U.S. Department of Defense, Analyst U.S. Senator George Voinovich, Legislative Correspondent U.S. Department of State, Presidential Management Fellow National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, Program Assistant Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Attaché The News Hour with Jim Lehrer, Deputy Senior Producer Sweden Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Desk Officer The National Assembly of Thailand, Member of Parliament Organization of American States, Assistant Manager Sudan Embassy in Brussels, Ambassador National Committee on US-China Relations, Senior Program Officer Brookings Institution, Research Assistant RAND Corporation, Associate Political Scientist

PROGRAM FACULTY

Catherine Bertini (PAIA) Bruce Dayton (PAIA) Miriam Elman (PSC) Christina Merchant (PAIA) Rosemary O’Leary (PAIA) Robert Rubinstein (ANT)

FOCUS What is valuable about this career track is that students must be able to comprehend the intricate social, economic and political factors involved in conflicts above and beyond the analytical and technical skills required to address the issues. In addition, a cultural sensitivity and awareness, along with a deep desire to strengthen relationships between disputing parties is critical to a student’s success in this field.

EMPLOYMENT Understanding the underlying principles that drive the causes of conflicts and skills in managing conflicts constructively are increasingly important in policy and project positions in international service. Career options abound in government, non-government, international and private organizations. Careers can vary from research on issues of peace and conflict to resolution training in war-torn societies and dispute mediation at the state, organization and individual level. Placements of recent graduates and alumni include the following: The Rendon Group, Inc., Media Strategist CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation, Membership Outreach Associate Heritage Foundation, Research Assistant Search for Common Ground, Program Associate UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, National Coordination Officer for Nepal Mercy Corps, North Sudan Country Representative Voice of America, International Radio Broadcaster Robert F.

GLOBAL SECURITY

PROGRAM FACULTY

FOCUS

This career track addresses the changing environment of international affairs – one that is often driven by national security

interests, access to intelligence, and the question of defense and use of force. The core of the curriculum provides students

with a foundation in US national security law, policy and strategic practice; US foreign policy and international security

challenges and response mechanisms; and civil-military relations. To better understand these security challenges, laws,

policies and government and private response mechanisms students engage in simulation exercises and consider case

studies; participate in discussions with faculty members, practitioners, and experts in the field; and conduct research

projects. All of these teaching approaches develop leadership, management and public service skills, capabilities, and insights

relevant to confronting pressing national and international security demands.

EMPLOYMENT This area of study offers an entry point for gaining insights and contributing to the development of new approaches to

national and international security by national and international institutions, as well as the private sector. This is an exciting

field and one with many job prospects as governments and organizations alike are putting more emphasis on security

concerns. Illustrations of agencies where graduates have gone to work include the following:

Computer Science Corporation (contractor for DOD), Analyst Center for Strategic and International Studies, Research Associate U.S. Department of Defense, Analyst Defense Information Systems Agency, Program Analyst World Security Institute, Director of Communications U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration U.S. Army, Instructor U.S. Coast Guard, Instructor U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Lieutenant Korea Information Security Agency, Researcher U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Attorney U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Intelligence Analyst U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, Analyst SAIC, National Security Analyst

JOINT AND CONCURRENT DEGREE PROGRAMS JD/MAIR JOINT DEGREE PROGRAM

PROGRAM FACULTY William C. Banks Isaac Kfir Cora True-Frost David M. Crane Robert Murrett

PROGRAM PROFILE Students enrolled in the joint JD/IR degree program must earn a total minimum of 100 credits in both the Maxwell School

and the College of Law. The Masters in International Relations requires 40 credits, 28 of which will be from the core Maxwell

IR courses and 12 of which may be earned by course work at the College of Law. To apply a course taken in the College of Law

to the M.A. in International Relations at the Maxwell School, the law course must deal with some aspect of international

affairs, and the grade must be at least a "B." Examples of such courses include: International Law, International Business

Transactions, Comparative Law, International Organizations, Conflict of Laws, and Humanitarian Law.

The JD requires 87 credits. Joint-degree students must take at least 72 Law School credits. Students will be allowed to

transfer 24 credits from the Graduate School to the College of Law, and these credits will be calculated as 15. The first six

credits of the 24 will be counted as 1 credit. The remaining 18 credits will reconfigured as 9 credits for Law School purposes (9

+ 6 = 15). These 15 credits added to 72 law credits will equal the 87 credits required for the JD.

ADMISSION TO THE JOINT JD/MPA PROGRAM Students who want to be considered for admission to the JD/MAIR program must first gain admission to the regular program

of each participating academic unit. It is in the student’s best interest to apply to both the College of Law and the Maxwell

School’s MAIR program at the outset. The completion of two separate applications is necessary and GRE scores are

required for application to the MAIR program. Alternatively, first year SU law students may also apply to the MAIR program

after successful completion of the fall semester of their first year at the College of Law. Admission of internal applicants to

the joint program will be limited each year and applications will only be accepted from FIRST YEAR law students. Students in

their second or third year with the College of Law are not eligible for the joint JD/MAIR program.

For first-year law students, applicants must submit to the Department of Public Administration & International Affairs a newly

completed Maxwell application. Specific internal application instructions can be obtained from the PAIA Department, 215

Eggers Hall. First-year College of Law student applicants to the joint program are screened for admission in early March, and

will be notified of admissions decisions prior to Spring break. Internal applications are due on or about February 1 each year.

Note that JD students pursuing a dual degree are only eligible if they meet the College of Law’s GPA requirements for dual

degree students, regardless of Maxwell’s admissions decision.

PROGRAM SEQUENCE The joint degree can be completed in the same time frame as the JD separately. The sequence in the Joint JD/MAIR program

involves six semesters plus one interim summer of course work. Students will only take College of Law courses during their

first academic year. JD/MAIR students typically pursue an internship and related coursework (6 credits at Maxwell) during

the summer following their 1L or 2L years to meet the internship requirement for the IR degree. During the final four

semesters students take a combination of College of Law courses and the remaining 22 credits at Maxwell, which meet the

MAIR degree requirements.

MAIR/MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (MPA)

Created nearly 80 years ago, Maxwell’s MPA program is the nation’s first professional program in public

affairs and has consistently been ranked among the very best schools for public affairs in the country. It

delivers excellent preparation for the challenges of management in the public sector and provides a rich

context for the professional study of public policy analysis. The interaction between the spheres of

international relations and public administration makes the dual MAIR / MPA option an invaluable experience for students

seeking a career which values the combination of international expertise and public management skills. The joint program

offers excellent preparation for professions in government, global consulting firms, NGOs, and international organizations. It

can be completed in two years of full time study, 58 credits, and allows for a semester long, extended abroad or domestic

professional development internship.

Students can apply directly to the Maxwell Joint MPA/MA IR program and should NOT file separate applications for this joint

program. Admitted students will begin their course of study in the summer with the Master of Public Administration core

courses and complete the joint program requirements in two years of full time study. Internal candidates from the IR and

MPA programs will be considered for the joint degree program on a case-by-case basis, and admission may be limited based

on program size.

Students in the Maxwell Joint MAIR/MPA program will complete all MPA core course requirements and the IR core courses.

They will build two topical areas of study/career track concentrations (one in PA and one in IR) as well as an IR minor in an

additional career track or geographic concentration. PA topical areas of study include: Environmental Policy &

Administration; International & Development Administration; International & National Security Policy; Public & Nonprofit

Management; State & Local Government Financial Analysis & Management; Social Policy (Social Welfare, Health &

Education); and Technology & Information Policy. More information on the Joint MAIR/MPA degree requirements is

available from the PAIA office.

PROGRAM SEQUENCE The sequence of the joint MAIR/MPA program involves 4 semesters of coursework and one or two summer terms, depending

on the abroad/domestic internship options selected. Most students will begin their course of study with the entering MPA

students in July of their first year. This is strongly encouraged as it allows for optimum course and program choices over the

two years of study. In some cases, (as with internal applicants from IR into the MPA program) and for some incoming

students, fall entry can be permitted.

All joint MAIR/MPA students will complete the same Economics (PAI 723) and Statistics (PAI 721) courses (which are shared

requirements for the two degrees) in addition to the other IR core courses (the MPA workshop will substitute for the IR

Capstone Seminar). The additional MPA core requirements beyond these include:

PAI 600 Public Affairs Colloquium PAI 712 Public Organizations & Management PAI 722 Quantitative Analysis PAI 734 Public Budgeting PAI 755 Public Administration & Democracy PAI 752 MPA Workshop PAI 753 Executive Leadership Seminar

Students will also complete (9) credits toward the MPA program of study framework.

MAIR/MASTER OF ARTS IN ECONOMICS (MA-ECON)

The interplay between international relations and economic forces dominates our attention today. The

daily headlines reveal the extent of global conflict rooted in economics--everything from transatlantic

trade wars, to sovereign debt default to environmental devastation. Students of international relations

cannot fully appreciate the underpinnings and solutions to modern conflict without a firm grasp of

economic principles. Furthermore, in the increasingly competitive job market, IR students with a firm grounding in economic

theory and applied quantitative techniques hold a distinct advantage in building quality careers in government, the private

sector or with non-government organizations.

The Maxwell School has introduced a Joint Economics and International Relations Option. This rigorous course of study allows

you to earn two MA degrees--in International Relations and in Economics--in only two years. You will be expected to

complete challenging courses in economic theory as well as econometrics, in addition to core courses in International

Relations. We expect our most promising IR students with a strong interest in Economics to take advantage of this unique

opportunity to acquire a strong interdisciplinary expertise.

Students wishing to undertake the dual course of study should apply online to the joint program, rather than applying to both

programs separately. Students admitted to the joint degree must fulfill the core courses, specializations, and exit

requirements for each. It is also possible to internally apply to the Economics Program after arrival on campus. Upon

completion of these requirements, students are awarded two degrees, the MAIR from the Department of Public

Administration and International Affairs and the MA in Economics from the Economics Department.

PROGRAM SEQUENCE There are multiple ways to structure your joint degree program. Students should consult with the Associate Director of

Graduate Studies and the Graduate Director for Economics to discuss options tailored to their individual needs.

All joint MAIR/MA-ECON students will complete Economics and Statistics courses through the Economics department, rather

than the equivalent versions offered through the Department of Public Administration and International Affairs (specifically,

ECN 601 Survey of Microeconomics and ECN 521 Economic Statistics). In addition to these and other IR core courses,

students complete the following coursework toward their Economics program of study:

ECN 602 Survey of Macroeconomics ECN 522 Econometric Methods ECN 505/605 Mathematics for Economists

In some cases, students can petition the Department of Economics to substitute PAI 716 for ECN 602; other equivalent

substitutions may be considered on a case by case basis and pending the approval of the graduate director and the Chair of

the department. Students must complete at least 30 credits toward the MA in Economics degree, including the core outlined

above plus an additional 15 credits of economics coursework, 9 of which should fulfill a concentration in one of the following

areas of study: Econometrics; Economic Development; International Economics; Health Economics; Urban and Regional

Economics; Labor Economics; or Public Finance.

MAIR/MASTER OF SCIENCE IN PUBLIC RELATIONS (MSPR) (PUBLIC DIPLOMACY)

Syracuse University offers an exciting dual degree program geared for students interested in Public

Diplomacy. This double degree option affords students the opportunity to complete an MS in Public

Relations from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communications along with Maxwell's

MA in International Relations within only two years of study. Public Diplomacy is a new field that has evolved far beyond the

traditional view that includes government-funded and sponsored cultural, educational, exchange and broadcasts to promote

the national interest of a nation state.

WHY PUBLIC DIPLOMACY? Increasingly, employers in government, international

organizations, non-profit organizations and the NGO community, as well as the

private sector, are looking for people who understand diverse audiences at home and abroad and are skillful at crafting

messages that describe the organization, convey its vision, and help the organization to communicate its message in times of

change or crisis. Every organization, regardless of its size or mission, needs people who have the training and skills to create

and sustain an effective dialogue with external audiences.

Students wishing to undertake the dual course of study submit a single application to the joint degree, but are separately

admitted by each program. Students fulfill the core courses, specializations, and exit requirements for both programs. Upon

completion of these requirements, students are awarded two degrees, the MS from Public Relations, and the MAIR from

International Relations. The two-degree program in Public Diplomacy/Communication provides students with these skills and

the academic credentials from two highly visible schools at Syracuse University.

PROGRAM SEQUENCE There are multiple ways to structure your dual degree program. Dual degree students must begin their studies in the

summer semester. They usually spend the second summer off campus and the second spring semester in Washington, DC

interning and completing courses public diplomacy courses at the SU Greenberg House. Students should consult with the

Associate Director for Student Services in PAIA and their Newhouse School advisor to discuss options tailored to their

individual needs.

IR students may arrange to complete the MAIR or EMIR and a second graduate degree on a concurrent basis. In cases where

two or more distinct graduate degrees are to be awarded by Syracuse University to one student, the minimum number of

credit hours needed must be at least 80% of the combined total of Syracuse credit-hours normally required for each of the

separate degrees (this does not apply to official dual degree programs). All concurrent degree MAIR students will complete a

minimum of 34 credits in international relations; concurrent degree EMIR students will complete a minimum of 24 credits in

international relations.

While just about any combination of areas of study is possible; some recent examples of concurrent degrees completed

include graduate study in International Relations combined with Finance, Information Management, Political Science,

Geography, History, and Management. Additionally, current graduate students enrolled in SUNY College of Environmental

Science and Forestry may apply to obtain the MAIR/EMIR degree concurrently. SUNY ESF students must seek approval from

their home program office in ESF prior to application to Maxwell.

CONCURRENT DEGREE PROGRAM ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS Admission to the MAIR/EMIR program requires an application even if a student is already matriculated in another program.

To be complete, the application must be current and accompanied by transcripts for all prior undergraduate and graduate

work, graduate test scores (MAIR only), and letters of recommendation from Syracuse University faculty including approval

from the other program's advisor. Instructions on how to apply internally to obtain a concurrent degree with the Department

of Public Administration & International Affairs are available from the Department Office, 215 Eggers Hall. The application

deadline is February 1.

To pursue the MAIR/EMIR and another degree concurrently, a student should expect to be in residence at least one or two

full academic semesters longer than if only one degree were being pursued.

The Department of Public Administration & International Affairs offers courses to satisfy each core requirement on a regular

basis, and at least once annually. The department, however, cannot guarantee that a course in every core area will be

available during every semester.

36

CERTIFICATE OPTIONS To enhance the multidisciplinary nature of the International Relations degree program, Syracuse

University also confers accredited academic certificates to students who complete the requirements of

the discipline. Certificate programs serve to focus and complement students’ regular course of study

within the MAIR/EMIR programs. Certificates can be obtained while completing the MAIR/EMIR degrees

and may not require any additional time commitments. Note that a single course may only count toward two degree

programs (Masters’ and Certificates included), and so a student pursuing more than two advanced programs of study (such as

a dual degree student pursuing a certificate) may need to take additional courses beyond the two major programs to fulfill

certificate requirements. Triple-counting of courses is not allowed.

CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED STUDY IN CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS This graduate certificate program (Certificate of Advanced Studies in Civil Society Organizations) will recognize students who

have sought to prepare themselves as professionals in the expanding field of non-governmental organizations, or who have

focused their research interests on the roles of non-state actors in global civil society.

CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED STUDY IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION The Certificate of Advanced Study in Conflict Resolution is a 12-credit program open to midcareer professionals who have an

interest in applied conflict resolution. It requires completion of PPA/IRP/SOS 601 Fundamentals of Conflict Studies and three

additional graduate courses organized in one of four thematic areas: international conflict, applied conflict, environmental

conflict, or social movements/advocacy and activism. Students work under careful advisement of the Program on the Analysis

and Resolution of Conflicts to select courses that best meet their professional goals. The program may be completed in one

semester or on a part-time basis. All courses may be applied to a master’s degree. Individuals with seven or more years of

professional managerial experience are invited to apply.

CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED STUDY IN E-GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP The E-Government Management and Leadership Certificate of Advance Study is a 12-credit graduate-level certificate

designed for students currently pursuing another graduate degree or as post-baccalaureate work. The CAS is organized by

two broad thematic areas: 1) leadership and management of information and communication technology applications found

in public organization E-government systems, and 2) technical design aspects of E-government in public organizations. There

are two required courses for this degree: IST 711: Electronic Government, Concepts and Practice and PPA 895: Executive

Education Seminar, Managerial Leadership. Through careful advisement, students will select two additional courses offered

in either the iSchool or Maxwell School based on their prior education and experience as well as professional needs. The

certificate program is intended to prepare students to lead and manage e-government applications in complex public and

private sector organizations.

CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED STUDY IN EUROPEAN UNION AND CONTEMPORARY EUROPE The Certificate of Advanced Study in the European Union (EU) and Contemporary Europe is available to students in all

professional and doctoral programs at Syracuse University who are looking to supplement their degree with a strong

foundation in this region’s politics and culture or to prepare themselves for a career involving specialization in this region. In

completing the certificate program, students are required to take at least 12 credit hours of study focused on the region,

including one 3-credit required course and nine credits from a set of approved courses and/or approved extracurricular

activities such as internships and capstone experiences. Interest in learning more about the EU and contemporary Europe has

been growing on the Syracuse campus with the creation of the Center for European Studies and the European Union Center,

hosted by the Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs. Both centers have been working over the last several years in spreading

knowledge about Europe through support for the teaching of less commonly taught European languages (e.g., Arabic,

Hebrew, Polish, Portuguese, Turkish), grants for graduate students to conduct research in Europe and master's students to do

37

semester-long internships in Europe, lectures and debates with visiting scholars and EU officials, and an annual EU Simulation

and graduate student conference. The four study abroad centers that the University maintains in Europe—in London,

Florence, Strasbourg, and Madrid—have also contributed to heightened interest in the region.

CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED STUDY IN INFORMATION, TECHNOLOGY, POLICY, AND MANAGEMENT MA students in the International Relations Program who wish to focus on global information policy are now able to earn a

certificate in Information, Technology, Policy, and Management (ITPM). This new program offers students a unique chance

to draw from the combined knowledge of three schools, the Maxwell School, the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and

Computer Science, and the School of information studies. Participants in this certificate program will gain expertise in key

areas of information sciences, including technical, management, and policy fields.

CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED STUDY IN LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES This certificate certifies successful completion of 15 credits of graduate courses from a variety of disciplines related to Latin

American themes. For a course to be eligible for the PLACA Certificate, the PLACA director must agree that its Latin American

content is at least 50% of the overall course content. A list of some of the eligible courses may be found on the PLACA

website: http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/moynihan/placa/CertificatOfAdvandedStudy.aspx The Dates and Deadlines form

provides specific deadlines by which forms must be complete. The Program of Study must be completed and signed by your

GLOBAL PROGRAMS

The Global Programs are an integral part of the IR curriculum, providing you with the opportunity to

apply your studies in this broad field to specific areas of interest around the world. Professional

internships and guided field research opportunities provide the practical training that makes our students

highly marketable upon graduation.

Participation in Maxwell’s Global Programs provides the experience that distinguishes you within your field of interest,

allowing you to secure a professional footing in the discipline prior to graduation. These programs are unique among our

peer institutions, and their development ensures that Maxwell is recognized as a leader in the training of professionals in the

field of international relations.

What is a global program?

Maxwell’s global programs are off-campus opportunities emphasizing the application of various aspects of international

relations in a field setting. Our programs constitute a collection of focused coursework, professional internships and guided

research that allows students to gain a deeper understanding of their fields of concentration.

Programs are offered across the globe, throughout the year, and focus on a variety of key topics including conflict resolution,

regional development, foreign policy, international organizations, human rights and international law, and political

integration and local politics, among many others.

Preparation for participation

Since nearly all of the Global Programs involve international travel and/or professional internships, it is imperative that you plan for your participation in these programs in advance. In fact, students are required to submit applications expressing their interest in some of these programs by mid-October. You will be able to apply to as many programs as you wish, we will try to confirm admission to the global programs of your choice by mid-November, and you will not be required to commit to a program until the end of your first fall semester. Even then, many students’ plans remain fairly flexible until they begin to receive internship offers and can secure their plans based upon the location of their internship. At the same time, you will be working with the trained staff at Maxwell’s Center for Career Development and Alumni Relations (CCDAR) to identify and apply for internship opportunities. This two-phase process is detailed below:

MAXWELL ALUMNI NETWORK http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/career/linkedin

Maxwell School alumni are invaluable resources for information and advice. The Center for Career Development and Alumni Relations suggests all students join the Maxwell Group on LinkedIn where you’ll find over 3,000 alumni willing to network with students and share information about their career fields.

As a student of The Maxwell School, you have become part of a large network of students, faculty and alumni who can play a significant role in your professional development. However, with membership in this network comes a significant responsibility to respect and appreciate each individual in the network. In this spirit, we have developed a Maxwell Networking Code of Conduct to ensure that each student abides by these basic principles of professional and ethical behavior.

Networking Code of Conduct • RESPECT THE INDIVIDUAL: Respect your contact. Seek out only those individuals most appropriate for you and be clear about the information you are seeking. Note how they want to be contacted and only call people at times that are convenient for them. Be concise and prepare your questions ahead so that you do not take up much of their time. Respect their privacy; for example, don’t ask how much they make. Ask for approval before you use a person’s name as a referral to get to someone else. • MANAGE EXPECTATIONS: Networking should not be used to ask for a job or internship, but should allow you to gain the knowledge needed about a specific field or organization. Ask for advice or contacts, not a position. Have realistic expectations of the time and assistance that your contact can provide. You should be well prepared for interviews and be clear about your interest in the field/position/organization. Promise only what you can deliver. Follow through on your promises. • EMAIL PROTOCOL: Include Maxwell in your subject line so the reader knows that the message is from a Maxwell student. Introduce yourself including your Maxwell degree program and your area of concentration. Indicate where you found their name, and acknowledge that you know they are busy. Use good grammar and spell-check your message. Be polite and be concise. Your initial message should not be more than one or two very short paragraphs. Good first impressions are essential for establishing strong networking relationships. • PRESENT YOURSELF APPROPRIATELY: Dress professionally for networking events, information sessions and interviews. RSVP for event by date noted. Err on the side of conservative dress (at least neat business casual if not formal suits). Ensure that all information in your resume is truthful and accurate. Speak truthfully about your education, skills and experiences. Be clear about your intentions and expectations. • BE GRACIOUS: Express your appreciation of a contact’s assistance through emailed or hand-written thank you notes. Follow up soon after a meeting or event. Even if their advice did not prove helpful, you should thank them for their time and consideration. Maintain these relationships and show your gratitude by periodically following up with contacts you have made in the past. • POSITION PROTOCOL: If networking leads to the offer of a position do not wait too long to respond to an offer; if you need more time to make a decision you should discuss this with the organization and decide on a date by which you will respond. Do not interview for positions that you do not intend to accept. Do not accept positions and later decline the offer. By doing so you are preventing others from being considered for that position and giving Maxwell students a bad reputation. Do not interview for positions with other organizations once you have accepted an offer. Inform other organizations that you have been interviewing with when you have accepted another offer.

PAI 601 Fundamentals of Conflict Studies The goals of this class are to provide students with a broad overview of the interdisciplinary field of conflict analysis and resolution, to introduce them to faculty and the work they are doing in this field, and to help them to develop a framework for diagnosing and responding to conflicts within their own area of interest. Over the course of the semester we will explore the diverse range of (sometimes contradictory) theories of social conflict found across the social science disciplines. Of particular interest throughout the course will be uncovering how our theories about the nature of social conflicts result in our making particular choices about which conflict resolution activities make sense under which conditions. Relying on a number of guest speakers, documentaries, and group projects, we will consider how conflict manifests across multiple levels of analysis (from inter-group to international) as well as within specific topical areas (ethnic/racial, environmental, foreign policy etc.). This course satisfies a core requirement for the PARCC Certificate of Advanced Studies in Applied Conflict Resolution.

PAI 684 IR of the Middle East This course's objective is to introduce the central issues of contemporary Middle Eastern politics within the larger framework of international relations theory. The course will offer and evaluate theories that attempt to explain regional conflict and political change. In the process, students will develop a deeper appreciation of the internal and external factors that have created the Middle East state system that so confounds the world today. The course will specifically emphasize the historical and contemporary interaction between the Middle East and the United States.

Fall

PAI 700* Research Design for IR Practitioners The course will provide an overview of how social science research is conducted and how it can be used in policy-making in international affairs. It is based on the assumption that good policy-making and program design should be evidence-based, and that those designing, implementing, and evaluating these policies should have a grounding in how social scientific research is conducted, and what separates good research from bad research, to ensure that students can be intelligent consumers of research on international affairs.

Fall/Spring


Century The attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001 began an international campaign to combat the phenomena of transnational terrorism. The campaign against trans-national terrorism has changed the way nation-states and international and regional organizations interact and combat the new threat. The aim of the course is to provide the students with an introduction of how states, IGOs, and regional organizations function within the challenge that the 'new' brand of terrorism poses to the world.

Fall

PAI 700 Crisis Management This course examines leadership, cooperation, and conflict in times of crisis. An emphasis is placed on understanding the key dynamics that influence the way that decision makers perceive and respond to crises and the kinds of processes that facilitate constructive crisis management. Real life case illustrations, exercises, and simulations are used to give participants an interactive experience and a realistic understanding of the limitations and opportunities that arise in high-pressure crisis management situations. The course familiarizes students with contrasting points of view on crisis management from across disciplinary boundaries; in particular, international relations, public administration, and public communication. Students write a case study on a crisis of their choosing that follows a pre-set research methodology developed at the Maxwell School.

Spring

PAI 717 International Security This course will familiarize students with some of the major theoretical approaches to the study of international security, and some of the central issues shaping current debates about security and the use of force. War and conflict have been central to international politics. The study of security investigates causes of war, strategies for avoiding conflict, and the impact of new technologies, actors, and ideas on calculations about the use of force. The goal is to give students a solid grounding in current research and theoretical approaches to the study of international security, and to encourage them to think about how this knowledge applies to ongoing security problems.

Fall

PAI 718 U.S. National Security and Foreign Policy This course will explore U.S. national security and foreign policy. We will examine U.S. policy during the cold war to establish a framework for understanding the policy challenges the U.S. faces today; current policy issues; and foreign and security policy decision-making. The course will use a combination of readings, case studies, exercises, and guest speakers to explore issues ranging from the U.S. national security structure, diplomacy and the use of force, U.S. relations with allies and potential adversaries, and the role of human rights and morality in U.S. policy.

PAI 719 Fundamentals of Post-Conflict Reconstruction (satisfies a core requirement for the Certificate of Advanced Study in Post-Conflict Reconstruction) The goal of this class is to familiarize students with the broad literature on post conflict reconstruction, the various dimensions and goals of post-conflict work, the types of actors that conduct it, the trade-offs and dilemmas they face, and the lessons learned from its application across various settings. The course will devote considerable attention to the applied side of post-conflict reconstruction; that is, the techniques and tools used by international intermediaries (states, IOs and NGOs) as well as local stakeholders to transition societies from violence to sustainable peace. It will also address many of the key issues that frame the debate in post-conflict reconstruction work: the tension between externally and internally generated recovery efforts; the possibilities and weaknesses of formal peace and reconciliation commissions; the challenges of civilian-military cooperation in post-conflict zones; the trade-offs between stability and liberty; and the quest for viable exit strategies for international actors.

Fall

PAI 721* Introduction to Statistics Students are introduced to a variety of tools and techniques for analyzing data. Basic topics in descriptive statistics, probability theory and statistical inference are covered.

PPA 727 Responding to Proliferation This course will examine the dangers caused by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and strategies to address this threat. It will include an examination of theories about the spread of WMD, and efforts to control this spread both during and after the Cold War. We will look at both national and international efforts to prevent the spread of WMD, ranging from diplomacy and arms control to counter-proliferation strategies. We will also look at the factors that have led some states to choose not to develop such weapons. The course will look at cases that raise fears about proliferation to both state and non-state actors. The goal is to provide students with a strong grasp of the challenges presented by proliferation, and the strategies that have been developed to address this problem. The course is divided into two sections. In the first section, we will examine the nature of the problem of proliferation, looking at the debate over whether proliferation is a problem, why states decide to go nuclear or not, and the ways in which weapons of mass destruction proliferate. In the second section, we will examine strategies used to address the proliferation challenge, by both the U.S. and the international community. In each section, we will look at particular cases as illustrations of the issues.

Spring

PAI 730 Social Media and the 2012 Election The class will track social media use in the 2012 presidential campaigns, while also ensuring that public administration and international relations students become proficient in using social media. Each week, students will discuss real-time social media events from the campaign trail. The class will feature guest speakers from both parties' campaign teams, as well as from within government. Mergel will bring in speakers who used social media on previous campaigns and have since transitioned into government positions to use social media for ongoing governance issues. Fall 2012 only!

Fall

PAI 730 Environmental Conflict Resolution and Collaboration In this graduate level course we will explore environmental conflict resolution in theory and in practice. We will review the causes of conflict and will learn the practical strategies of interest-based negotiation, joint problem solving, facilitated decision making, and an introduction to mediation. The goal of the class is to leave students with a realistic understanding: of how to analyze complex multiparty environmental disputes; of strategies to manage large and diverse groups making public environmental decisions; of the principles of interest-based collaborative problem solving, consensus building, and negotiation in a multiparty context; and of strategies for framing complex environmental issues so they can be resolved. This is a course with a unique blend of “traditional” readings and lectures, mixed with “nontraditional” role playing, simulations, student participation, group projects, and discussion groups.

Fall

PAI 730 Peace and Conflict in the Balkans This course is divided into three parts. The first part introduces students to the history, culture, and society of this controversial region. The second part of the course focuses on ethnic nationalism and the wars of Yugoslav dissolution. The final part of the course addresses the local effects of international humanitarian interventions, with a special focus on the politics of reconciliation and policies of reconstruction in postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although the course concentrates on the former Yugoslavia and its successor states, other postwar regions will come up in collateral reading and discussion. Students are free and indeed encouraged to discuss readings other than those listed and to pursue their own interests in Balkan societies not touched upon in this course.

PAI 730 Central Challenges to National Security Law & Policy Using a series of case study modules that jump off the front page, the course examines critically the hardest U.S. national security law and policy challenges of the decades ahead. The case studies range from decisions to intervene and what laws apply if we do intervene in humanitarian crises, insurrections, or civil wars, and what laws should govern when we are involved; dealing with the Arab Spring; dealing with Iran and North Korea related to nuclear weapons; anticipating and controlling new technologies in warfare and surveillance; managing civil/military relations in protecting the homeland; countering the cyber threats to our infrastructure and cyber-attacks waged by nation states, such as China and Russia; managing public health as a national security issue; resource depletion and global warming as a national security issue.

Fall

PAI 730 Managing Individual / Group / Systemic Conflict This course will introduce the “suite of skills” embedded in the collaborative manager’s capacity to pre-empt, prevent and manage conflict at the individual, group and system levels in a manner consistent with least cost, highest involvement, and greatest satisfaction with results. Deep understanding of the spectrum of options for addressing conflict will be achieved, focusing on acquiring the voluntary dispute resolution skills of interest-based negotiation and problem solving; mediation of disputes; facilitation of group development and performance; high engagement meeting design and implementation; and dispute systems design to introduce more opportunities for the systematic use of these voluntary dispute resolution processes within organizations and systems. The course will offer the theoretical foundation for the “evolution of voluntary resolution” and will focus on handing off the skills to class participants through highly interactive practicums. Successful accomplishment of this course will be a necessary requirement for consideration as a PARCC “intern” when facilitation opportunities arise within the local client community.

Fall

PAI 730 US Intelligence Community: Governance & Practice, 1947-present The range of activities by all elements of the Intelligence Community from postwar origins through the Cold War; intelligence operations, governance and assessment, reform and growth since 2001. This course will examine the evolution of the U.S. Intelligence Community (I.C.) since its inception in 1947 through the present day. Key phases and specific events will be explored, including I.C. efforts throughout the Cold War, The Cuban Missile Crisis, The Vietnam Conflict, the Church Committee, the Balkans Conflicts, pre and post-9/11 operations, the 911 and WMD Commissions and the subsequent legislative overhaul mandated by the Congress in 2004. The course will also review governance and oversight of the I.C., including roles of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government. In addition to understanding the development of the I.C., students will study the functional elements of intelligence tradecraft (human intelligence, signals intelligence, imagery analysis, etc.), and engagement with international counterparts. The class will participate in case studies, in which the students will evaluate, provide briefings and recommend decisions in realistic scenarios, both in terms of analysis and intelligence-driven decision-making on policy and operational matters.

PAI 730 Development Finance Financial services enable families to achieve their most important goals: educating their children, gaining access to health care, investing in income generating activities, providing for old age, and smoothing consumption over time. Understanding the role of microfinance in the lives of the general population can help policy makers increase the impact of programs and policies in the fields of environment, health, social services, small business promotion, and education. You do not need a background in either economic theory or finance to take full advantage of this course. This course familiarizes students with programs that offer credit, savings, insurance, and money transfer services to poor families in emerging markets and the impact these have on their lives. Topics include microcredit, microfinance, and the emerging consensus around building inclusive financial systems that was recently endorsed by the G20. We will cover the design of high value products for poor households, building sustainable institutions, and creating an inclusive financial ecosystem. We will look closely at the role of government, non-profits, and international organizations in promoting access to finance as part of an overall effort to promote economic progress.

Fall

PAI 730 Business and Government in the Global Economy: The Asian Experience This course examines the interface between business and government in Asian development in the context of a changing international economy. Globalization through the impact on the organization and location of the production of goods and services is changing the nature of international business and competition, with important implications for the relationship between business and government. This is presenting both opportunities and challenges to government policy aimed at accelerating the development of Asian economies. The course blends problem-oriented case studies with lectures, background readings, and role-playing; and will be valuable for students with an interest in business-government relations; in economic development, particularly in Asia; and in the on-going challenges of globalization for developing economies.

PAI 730† Social Welfare Policy in a Comparative Context This course aims at providing students with a broad exposure to the role of national governments in selected areas of social policy; on how and why this role has evolved over time, and on several of the major concerns currently facing both high income countries (especially the U.S.) and middle income countries (especially in Asia). Particular attention will be given to the similarities and differences in the challenges faced by countries with highly developed and emerging market economies, to the way in which these challenges are shaped by economic, political, demographic and cultural factors including the degree of democratization, exposure to the global economy, and population aging and to public pension, health care, immigration and tax policies. A basic understanding of economics is necessary. The course will be capped at 16, with about two-thirds of the enrollees expected to be Executive PA and IR students and the remainder largely MPA and MA IR students. It will be conducted in a conventional classroom/seminar format for roughly half the semester and then focus on group research projects (each involving 3-5 students) on selected topics related to the main themes of the course for the remainder of the semester. †EMPA students should note that this course also satisfies their master’s capstone requirement, and are encouraged to substitute it for PAI996 if interested in the subject matter.

Spring

PAI 730 Health and Development This class investigates the relationship between economic change and health status at global, regional, and national levels. After explication of the major social scientific theories of health development in terms of epidemiological patterns and historical philosophies of intervention, the course considers a set of case studies from politically and economically disparate contexts. Taking a contextualized, population-level perspective across these cases of health development intervention, the course argues that health policy, economic policy, and political action are inextricable from one another – that improving global health requires the redress of global political and economic inequalities, and vice versa.

Spring

PAI 730 Homeland Security: Federal Policy and Implementation Challenges This course will provide students with a thorough, broad-based understanding of the multiple challenges faced by the federal government in protecting the nation from a variety of threats, both human and natural.

PAI 763 Managing NGO’s in Transitional and Developing Countries The later stages of the 20

th century experienced a remarkable rise in the number and

types of non-government organizations (NGOs) active in the developing world. The purpose of this course is to provide the students with some insight into the variety of roles that these organizations play in civil society while laying out some of the knowledge and skills required to operate NGOs effectively. Using mini-lectures, case studies, and a simulated project development exercise, the course will cover a broad range of topics including the origins of NGOs, how they are defined, their influences and how they are influenced, NGO boards, governance mechanisms, organizational structures, how NGOs develop a sense of mission and develop programs and projects in support of that mission, and how NGOs generate financial resources and sustain their projects and the organization. Students should NOT enroll in both this course and PAI 748: Nonprofit Management and Governance due to significant course content overlap.

Winter

PAI 764 UN Organizations: Managing for Change This course analyzes the processes for change in UN organizations. It begins with brief summaries of types of UN organizations, including their purposes, funding systems and governance structures. Half of the course will focus on the process of change in UN organizations funded by assessed contributions, highlighting the UN secretariat. The other half of the course will highlight the World Food Program as an example of the process of change in a voluntarily funded agency. Students will be graded on class participation, memos, a final paper, and occasional unannounced in class assignments. There is a course fee associated with registration for this class – to fund a mandatory field trip to the UN.

PAI 765 Humanitarian Action: Challenges, Responses, Results This course examines major humanitarian challenges worldwide since 1992 including disasters caused by nature and by man, including conflicts and economic stress. It also reviews key challenges for women, children, refugees, and displaced people, and the actions of governments, UN agencies, NGOs, militaries, donors, the press, and others. Classes are a combination of lecture, discussion, student presentations, and videos. Students are graded on their class participation, memos, group and individual presentations. There is a course fee associated with registration for this class – to fund a mandatory field trip to the UN.

Spring

PAI 772 Science, Technology and Public Policy Discusses the interplay of science, technology and public policy. This course explores the relations of scientists and policymakers (knowledge and power). Technology is viewed as a resource that is both a tool of policy and a factor shaping policy. Moreover, various interests promote, oppose, and seek to control technology to "leverage" the future. Focus is on the United States, but attention is given also to other nations and their science and technology policies. A special concern is science, technology and environmental policy.

Spring

59

PAI 775 Energy, Environment and Resources Policy This course analyzes the relation of government to policymaking in the domain of energy, environment, and resources. Attention is given to politics and administration of energy/environment/resources policy in the US at all levels of government. Comparative and international aspects of the problem are also examined. Particular emphasis is given to environmental policy and the processes by which policy is formulated, implemented and modified.

Fall

PAI 777 Economics of Environmental Policy In this course, we will apply the principles of economics to environmental problems. The main question in any economics course is how best to allocate scarce resources. This holds true for environmental economics as well. However, environmental resources differ from many other goods that economists study in that there is usually no market for them. Thus, government policies are needed to maintain and improve environmental quality. We will begin by examining how economic incentives lead to environmental problems, and discussing various options for dealing with these problems. Because economic analysis requires information on both cost and benefits, we next discuss methods for valuing the benefits of environmental amenities. The course concludes with a section that relates the lessons of environmental economics to the macro-economy, with a focus on the effects of environmental policy and economic growth. PRE-REQUISITE: PAI 723 Managerial Economics for Public Administrators, or PAI 897 Fundamentals of Policy Analysis or an equivalent.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS GRADING SYSTEM The grading system at Syracuse University includes the following options: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, F. Grade points for each of the symbols used for graduate students are outlined in the adjoining table.

Passing grades for graduate students are all grades within the general A, B, and C categories. Since Graduate School rules require at least a 3.0 average for work comprising the student's entire program, a grade of B- or lower in any course should be regarded as a strong warning that work in the course was below faculty expectations.

The symbol of I (Incomplete) may be granted to a student only if it can be demonstrated that it would be unfair to hold the student to the normal time limits of the course. Illness or other exceptional circumstances are the usual basis for consideration. Students should not assume that an incomplete will be granted automatically upon request. Rather, a student who believes that her or his circumstances warrant an incomplete is advised to consult with the course instructor.

To receive an incomplete, a student must complete a Request for Incomplete form, and obtain the instructor's approval. The completed and signed Request for Incomplete is then submitted to the chairperson of the department offering the course. An

incomplete is calculated as an F in the GPA until a grade is recorded for the course.

STATEMENT ON PLAGIARISMSyracuse University’s academic integrity policy and procedures are administered by the Academic Integrity Office in the Division of Academic Affairs. A detailed description of the academic integrity expectations of every community member at Syracuse University is provided in the University’s Academic Rules (available online at http://coursecatalog.syr.edu/2012/rules/). Our Department takes these expectations very seriously. The presumptive penalty for any act of academic dishonesty by a graduate student is suspension or expulsion from the university. Plagiarism, i.e., the presentation as one's own work the words, ideas, and opinions of someone else, is a serious concern in any academic setting. This University, like all academic institutions in the United States, assumes that the written work of a student is literally the student's own, and that any original idea or research contributions taken from the published works of others will be properly acknowledged.

When any material is taken directly from a published source, it must be appropriately cited. If a statement is used verbatim, it must be enclosed in quotation marks, as well as otherwise acknowledged. Syracuse University, through its various colleges and departments, will readily refer students to writing and style manuals that are universally recognized as acceptable by scholars and that very adequately demonstrate how students should handle the issue of proper citation of material. Examples of such works include the student manual distributed by the English Department of Syracuse University, A Manual for Writers by K. Turabian, and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.

SERVICES, FACILITIES and STUDENT ACTIVITIES

CAREER DEVELOPMENT Throughout the year, Career Development provides many opportunities for students to

participate in career-related workshops, employer visits, and networking opportunities. Job,

internship, and fellowship opportunities in federal, state and local government agencies, not-

for-profits and non-governmental organizations, private organizations, and international agencies are regularly

posted on the web-accessible Maxwell Career Management System. Additionally, students can discuss their career

goals and establish a career action plan with a professional staff member.

The Maxwell School alumni network covers a wide variety of domestic and international agencies and

organizations, and is a significant resource for those seeking information about organizations and/or networking

for a job. Nearly 3,000 Maxwell alumni now participate in the Maxwell School LinkedIn Group and are happy to

speak with graduate students and alumni about their career interests and job search process. In addition, many

alumni visit the school during the course of the year to speak in classes and participate in workshops and in panel

discussions. These alumni are also an important part of the network and are happy to talk informally with

students.

Recognizing that an individual’s career will evolve throughout her/his lifetime, Career Development emphasizes

development of the skills necessary to adapt to the changing work world. Each student is ultimately responsible

for seeking and securing employment and must take ownership of and exercise professional responsibility for

fulfilling his/her own career ambitions.

JOSEPH A.STRASSER ACADEMIC VILLAGE, EXECUTIVE EDUCATION LOUNGE, and COMPUTER FACILITIES Public administration (EMPA and MPA) and international relations students enjoy their own Academic Village,

named in honor of Maxwell alumnus, Joseph A. Strasser. This large area with soundproof doors for internal

division has spaces for lounging and socializing, quiet and team study, small-group work, lockers, and a

kitchenette. Students can also meet and socialize in the Eggers Cafe.

Maxwell 214 is also a lounge in which EMPA and MPA students can study or socialize. In addition, the Executive

Education staff in Maxwell 219 offers coffee, Xerox and FAX machines for EMPA students.

Master’s students use computers for communication, research and class assignments. A computer lab, including

computers, printer, and workspace, is available in Eggers Hall for ALL public administration and international

relations students. The Academic Village is also outfitted for laptop usage and has several computers and a

printer. For EMPA students, a small computer lab is located in Maxwell 214.

For more information on the Maxwell computing and technology environment, students should review carefully

the Maxwell School’s Information and Computing Technology (ICT)’s web site. Students may also register and

partake in training sessions throughout the academic year. A Help Desk is also staffed M-F from 1:00-3:00 in Eggers

034A.

UNIVERSITY, MAXWELL AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS STUDENT ACTIVITIES

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

STUDENT ASSOCIATION-(IRSA)

The International Relations Student Association (IRSA) is the official graduate student organization representing the needs and interests of graduate students in SU’s IR program in the Maxwell School. IRSA exists to foster an environment conducive to communal significance, providing an open forum through which concerns of the IR graduate student community can be addressed. In addition, IRSA obligates itself to the provision of opportunities and activities that stimulate a growth of both IR graduate students and the graduate community of students in the PAIA department.

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY –

GRADUATE STUDENT

ORGANIZATION (GSO)

Syracuse University’s Graduate Student Organization is the political organization representing graduate students in all facets of University life. GSO sponsors a variety of campus-wide services and assists graduates in gaining access to University services. GSO works with organized student groups across campus and provides them resources to host events and other initiatives.

MAXWELL REVIEW Long a tradition through the 1970's, this peer reviewed journal of scholarship and opinion was revived in 1994 by Maxwell graduate students, primarily from public administration. This publication has again become a part of the School's long tradition of interdisciplinary learning.

MAXWELL WOMEN’S

CAUSCUS-(MWC) Founded by PAIA students in 1993 as an organization for the women and men of Maxwell, Maxwell Women’s Caucus (MWC) is dedicated to fostering an ongoing dialogue on gender issues, and promoting the general well-being of women. The direction of MWC is determined each year by the graduate student membership. Membership is open to both male and female students throughout Maxwell.

MAXWELLIS MAXWELLIS, the Maxwell International Student organization, was established in 2005. Acknowledging the growing number of international students and the need to address their specific needs at Maxwell, a group of PAIA students decided to form an organization whose mission would be to empower Maxwell international graduate/doctoral students worldwide. MAXWELLIS is open to all students at Syracuse University who share this goal.

POLICY STUDENTS FOR FISCAL

SUSTAINABILITY-(PSFS) Policy Students for Fiscal Sustainability (PSFS) formed in 2010, building on the work of an earlier student group - the Fiscal Advocacy Network. Their mission is to facilitate informed debate among policy students in order to make the US federal budget, tax policy, and the economic consequences of unsustainable federal deficits more understandable to younger generations. In 2011, PSFS hosted a conference, Debt’s Deficits and the Economy, featuring nationally recognized experts in the fields of tax policy, US fiscal administration and the economy.

STUDENTS FOR TOMORROWS

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY-

(STEP)

Students for Tomorrow’s Environmental Policy, (STEP), is a graduate student organization focusing on environmental policy. It was established in 2006 by SU and ESF students, and receives financial and administrative support from the Center for Environmental Policy and Administration.

In addition to informal parties and sports, regular activities held for and by PAIA students throughout the year,

other events typically include an early-September gathering for new and continuing students, a Welcoming

Reception during IR Orientation, Brown Bags, Maxwell-o-ween, a traditional Spring Dinner Dance, the Maxwell

Graduate Convocation in May, the IR capstone reception and awards ceremony, and MAIR/EMIR graduation

ceremonies in December. These activities are in addition to the University's wide range of opportunities for sports,

personal fitness, lectures, speakers, and concerts.
