POLI152 PO - Political Dialogue and Resistance

When Offered: Offered alternate years; next offered fall 2022.
Instructor(s): E. Dobbs
Credit: 1

Why are some political disputes settled through dialogue and negotiation, while others escalate into protest or even political violence? How does the process of political engagement affect outcomes? How is the decision to talk or to fight - and the manner in which one talks or fights - mediated by identity, networks, and culture? And in what ways does past participation in contentious politics affect future political engagement? This class explores these questions through theoretical readings, case studies from around the world, documentaries, negotiation simulations, and conversations with practitioners. Letter grade only.
